A lead-acid battery is a rechargeable battery that relies on a combination of lead and sulfuric acid for its operation. This involves immersing lead components in sulfuric acid to facilitate a controlled chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is responsible for generating electricity within the battery, and it can be reversed to recharge the battery.

Customer ServiceWhen the amount of heat produced exceeds the rate at which heat can be dissipated, the battery is said to suffer thermal runaway. Excess charging current or internal short circuit will cause heat build-up. As the heat builds up, the internal resistance of the battery increases creating even more heat.
Customer ServiceThe battery is made up of several cells, each of which consists of lead plates immersed in an electrolyte of dilute sulfuric acid. The voltage per cell is typically 2 V to 2.2 V.

Customer ServiceWhile all batteries will get warm during use, lead-acid batteries that overheat can become seriously damaged. Once the electrolyte solution inside the battery reaches the boiling point, it begins to release as an acid or hydrogen gas. These vapors can be harmful if inhaled by humans.
Customer ServiceIf a lead acid battery heats up while charging, it can indicate a problem with the charging system or the battery itself. Overcharging can cause the battery to release hydrogen gas, which can be dangerous if it accumulates in an enclosed space. If you notice a hot battery or a strong odor coming from your lead acid battery, it is important to

When you use your battery, the process happens in reverse, as the opposite chemical reaction generates the batteries’ electricity. In unsealed lead acid batteries, periodically, you’ll have to open up the battery and top it off with distilled water to ensure the electrolyte solution remains at the proper concentration.
A lack of maintenance or improper maintenance is also one of the biggest causes of damage to lead-acid batteries, generally from the electrolyte solution having too much or too little water. All of the ways lead acid can be damaged are not issues for lithium and why our batteries are far superior for energy storage applications.
Heat issues, in particular, the temperature increase in a lead-acid battery during its charging has been undoubtedly a concern ever since this technology became used in practice, in particular in the automobile industry.
Thus, the maximum voltage reached determines the slope of the temperature rise in the lead-acid battery cell, and by a suitably chosen limiting voltage, it is possible to limit the danger of the “thermal runaway” effect.
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
