Do lead-acid batteries fail?

Sci.859 012083DOI 10.1088/1755-1315/859/1/012083 Lead-acid batteries are widely used due to their many advantages and have a high market share. However, the failure of lead-acid batteries is also a hot issue that attracts attention.

Why do lead-acid batteries age faster?

The lead-acid battery system is designed to perform optimally at ambient temperature (25°C) in terms of capacity and cyclability. However, varying climate zones enforce harsher conditions on automotive lead-acid batteries. Hence, they aged faster and showed lower performance when operated at extremity of the optimum ambient conditions.

What causes a battery to fail?

Vibration 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.

What causes a battery to be contaminated?

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.

Why do flooded-electrolyte batteries fail?

Catastrophic failure is attributed to incorrect cell design, poor manufacturing practice, abuse, or misuse. These problems are obvious and, accordingly, have been afforded little discussion. Progressive life-limiting factors encountered with flooded-electrolyte batteries are discussed in detail.

Do lead-acid batteries self-discharge?

All lead-acid batteries will naturally self-discharge, which can result in a loss of capacity from sulfation. The rate of self-discharge is most influenced by the temperature of the battery’s electrolyte and the chemistry of the plates.
