One of the most important properties of lead–acid batteries is the capacity or the amount of energy stored in a battery (Ah). This is an important property for batteries used in stationary applications, for example, in photovoltaic systems as well as for automotive applications as the main power supply.
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.
Lead acid batteries typically have coloumbic efficiencies of 85% and energy efficiencies in the order of 70%. Depending on which one of the above problems is of most concern for a particular application, appropriate modifications to the basic battery configuration improve battery performance.
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.
Batteries use 85% of the lead produced worldwide and recycled lead represents 60% of total lead production. Lead–acid batteries are easily broken so that lead-containing components may be separated from plastic containers and acid, all of which can be recovered.
A lead–acid battery cannot remain at the peak voltage for more than 48 h or it will sustain damage. 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.
