Customer ServiceWhen a lead-acid battery is in use, it undergoes a discharge process. During this process, the lead-acid battery releases electrical energy as its chemical energy is converted. The discharge process can be described as follows: The sulfuric acid in the electrolyte combines with the lead dioxide on the positive plate to form lead sulfate and water.

Customer ServiceAcid burns to the face and eyes comprise about 50% of injuries related to the use of lead acid batteries. The remaining injuries were mostly due to lifting or dropping batteries as they are quite heavy. Lead acid batteries are usually filled with an electrolyte solution containing sulphuric acid.
The use of lead acid battery in commercial application is somewhat limited even up to the present point in time. This is because of the availability of other highly efficient and well fabricated energy density batteries in the market.
A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
Implementation of battery man-agement systems, a key component of every LIB system, could improve lead–acid battery operation, efficiency, and cycle life. Perhaps the best prospect for the unuti-lized potential of lead–acid batteries is elec-tric grid storage, for which the future market is estimated to be on the order of trillions of dollars.
This mode works well for installations that do not draw a load when on standby. Lead acid batteries must always be stored in a charged state. A topping charge should be applied every 6 months to prevent the voltage from dropping below 2.05V/cell and causing the battery to sulfate. With AGM, these requirements can be relaxed.
The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries. With higher charge currents and multi-stage charge methods, the charge time can be reduced to 8–10 hours; however, without full topping charge. Lead acid is sluggish and cannot be charged as quickly as other battery systems. (See BU-202: New Lead Acid Systems)
