Heat is generated on recharge, float charge and discharge. The heat generated on charge is finite, i.e. once the battery is fully charged no more heat is generated but at this point the battery enters the float charge phase and as long as the battery is on charge, heat is being generated.
Temperature effects are discussed in detail. The consequences of high heat impact into the lead-acid battery may vary for different battery technologies: While grid corrosion is often a dominant factor for flooded lead-acid batteries, water loss may be an additional influence factor for valve-regulated lead-acid batteries.
When a lead-acid battery is connected to an electrical circuit, the lead and sulfuric acid react with each other to produce lead sulfate and water and electrons are released. These electrons flow through the circuit and create an electric current. Batteries are devices that store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy.
The main source of heat inside the battery is the heat generation of the side reaction which is shown in Figure 10 (c). In this figure, the reversible (Eq. 28) and irreversible (Eq. 29) heat of the reaction are plotted for different cell regions (i.e. positive electrode, separator and negative electrode).
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
Several basic thermal processes occur that affect the resulting battery temperature during operation. These processes include heat exchange with the environment, , Joule heat generation at the internal resistance of the cells, , and the change in heat from the thermochemical reactions at the electrodes themselves, .
