If 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.
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.
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 have it checked by a professional.
Even better, for the longer life and extra reliability of the batteries, is never to charge lead acid batteries above 70% of capacity. That is the capacity "sweet spot". Basically, the storage efficiency has also a sweet spot at a max of 70% of capacity.
Flooded lead acid batteries are one of the most reliable systems and are well suited for hot climates. With good maintenance these batteries last up to 20 years. The disadvantages are the need for watering and good ventilation.
Batteries can heat up during use due to a variety of reasons. One common cause is overloading the battery with too much current or using a device that requires more power than the battery can provide. In some cases, a battery may also heat up due to a short circuit or a damaged cell. Are there risks of fire when batteries become overheated?

While VLA batteries handle heat better than VRLAs, because the electrolyte is always in contact with the cell container for better heat dissipation, VRLAs will also fail sooner when used in poorly ventilated UPS applications.

When the heat generated exceeds the heat dissipation capacity of the battery, a vicious cycle is formed, causing the temperature to rise, which can eventually lead to battery damage, leakage or even explosion. An in …
Overheating in lead-acid batteries can be caused by several factors, including: Overcharging : Charging the battery at too high a voltage or for too long can cause excessive …
Well, hot weather can in fact be more damaging to car batteries than cold weather. They typically perform adequately up to 90°F, but above that, the chemical reaction …
$begingroup$ How many amp-hours was the battery? Lead-acid rarely charges at even 1C (usually 0.2C), so unless you had a 200Ah ... the excess energy is taken up in the water …
