Normally, as the lead–acid batteries discharge, lead sulfate crystals are formed on the plates. Then during charging, a reversed electrochemical reaction takes place to decompose lead sulfate back to lead on the negative electrode and lead oxide on the positive electrode.
The discharge state is more stable for lead–acid batteries because lead, on the negative electrode, and lead dioxide on the positive are unstable in sulfuric acid. Therefore, the chemical (not electrochemical) decomposition of lead and lead dioxide in sulfuric acid will proceed even without a load between the electrodes.
A common way to keep lead–acid battery charged is to apply a so-called float charge to 2.15 V. This stage of charging is also called “absorption,” “taper charging,” or trickle charging. In this mode of charging, a short voltage pulse is applied to briefly bring a battery voltage to 2.15 V and then discontinue the charge.
The voltage must be lowered to typically between 2.25 and 2.27 V. A common way to keep lead–acid battery charged is to apply a so-called float charge to 2.15 V. This stage of charging is also called “absorption,” “taper charging,” or trickle charging.
This concentration of sulfuric acid is characteristic of a nearly fully charged battery. For partially or fully discharged battery, the sulfuric acid concentration and sulfuric acid–specific gravity are lower. Lead–acid batteries are characterized by a direct dependence of battery open-circuit voltage on the state of charge.
Another important performance factor for lead–acid batteries is self-discharge, a gradual reduction in the state of charge of a battery during storage or standby. The self-discharge takes place because of the tendency of battery reactions to proceed toward the discharged state, in the direction of exothermic change or toward the equilibrium.
