The following are some common causes and results of deterioration of a lead acid battery: Overcharging If a battery is charged in excess of what is required, the following harmful effects will occur: A gas is formed which will tend to scrub the active material from the plates.
Nevertheless, positive grid corrosion is probably still the most frequent, general cause of lead–acid battery failure, especially in prominent applications, such as for instance in automotive (SLI) batteries and in stand-by batteries. Pictures, as shown in Fig. 1 taken during post-mortem inspection, are familiar to every battery technician.
Vibration is another major reason for battery failure. Excessive vibration can cause the battery’s internal plates to shift and become damaged, leading to a breakdown in the battery’s structure and causing short circuits within the battery. Vibration also accelerates corrosion, which leads to premature failure.
Contamination in sealed and VRLA batteries usually originates from the factory when the battery is being produced. In flooded lead-acid batteries, contamination can result from accumulated dirt on top of the battery and when the battery is being watered. Watering the battery with tap water has a serious consequence on the battery.
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
Irreversible formation of lead sulfate in the active mass (crystallization, sulfation) The phenomenon called “sulfation” (or “sulfatation”) has plagued battery engineers for many years, and is still a major cause of failure of lead–acid batteries.
