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.
Corrosion is one of the most frequent problems that affect lead-acid batteries, particularly around the terminals and connections. Left untreated, corrosion can lead to poor conductivity, increased resistance, and ultimately, battery failure.
Lead-acid batteries, widely used across industries for energy storage, face several common issues that can undermine their efficiency and shorten their lifespan. Among the most critical problems are corrosion, shedding of active materials, and internal shorts.
The lead–acid battery is an old system, and its aging processes have been thoroughly investigated. Reviews regarding aging mechanisms, and expected service life, are found in the monographs by Bode and Berndt , and elsewhere , . The present paper is an up-date, summarizing the present understanding.
The shedding process occurs naturally as lead-acid batteries age. The lead dioxide material in the positive plates slowly disintegrates and flakes off. This material falls to the bottom of the battery case and begins to accumulate.
While some degree of grid corrosion is normal and actually designed into batteries, excessive corrosion can significantly shorten battery life, leading to: Sulphation During normal battery discharge, the active materials in a lead-acid battery (lead and lead dioxide) react with sulphuric acid to form lead sulphate.
