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.
Applications that have these profiles are solar energy storage and energy storage for off-grid power. Two of the most common mistakes that lead to lead-acid battery damage involve charging — or lack thereof. Some owners discharge their batteries too deeply, permanently altering their chemistry and function.
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.
Overheating is always a potential risk for lead-acid batteries, especially in hot conditions or with an otherwise failing battery. While all batteries will get warm during use, lead-acid batteries that overheat can become seriously damaged.
Lastly, high temperatures can significantly damage a lead-acid battery. Any temperature above 80 degrees significantly increases the degradation of the chemicals in a battery. This causes rapid self-discharge and sulfation. What Are the Most Common Mistakes Made by Owners of Lead-Acid Batteries?
As routine maintenance, you should always check the battery electrolyte levels and ensure that the battery cells are always covered. Sealed and valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are designed in such a way that the gases released from the electrolysis of water in the electrolyte, recombine back to form water. 3. Thermal Runaway
