In Electrical Systems and Equipment (Third Edition), 1992 The negative plate in a lead acid cell consists of a lead alloy lattice or grid in which the spaces of the grid are filled with chemically-active lead sponge.
The grids are quality checked for defects before moving to pasting where lead oxide paste is applied and cured. Finally, the plates undergo formation and are assembled into batteries. 1. ABSTRACT This article gives an over view of lead acid battery manufacturing process, material and equipment.
The positive plate is made up of lead dioxide PbO2 and the negative plate with pure lead. The nominal electric potential between these two plates is 2 volts when these plates are immersed in dilute sulfuric acid. This potential is universal for all lead acid batteries.
During the charging process, the cycle is reversed, that is, lead sulphate and water are converted to lead, lead oxide and electrolyte of sulphuric acid by an external charging source. This process is reversible, which means lead acid battery can be discharged or recharged many times.
Therefore, a 12 volt lead acid battery is made up of six cells that are connected in series are enclosed in a durable plastic casing, as shown in the figure. The capacity of the battery depends on the amount of lead dioxide on the positive plate; sulfuric acid present in the battery; and, the amount of spongy lead on the negative plate.
The initial formation charge of a lead-acid battery, whether in the form of plates or as an already assembled battery, is quite a complex bundle of chemical reactions. It is important to know in principle about the most important parameters controlling this process in order to achieve good reproducible results with reasonable efforts.
