Heat issues, in particular, the temperature increase in a lead-acid battery during its charging has been undoubtedly a concern ever since this technology became used in practice, in particular in the automobile industry.
Lead-acid batteries will accept more current if the temperature is increased and if we accept that the normal end of life is due to corrosion of the grids then the life will be halved if the temperature increases by 10ºC because the current is double for every 10ºC increase in temperature.
Thus, the maximum voltage reached determines the slope of the temperature rise in the lead-acid battery cell, and by a suitably chosen limiting voltage, it is possible to limit the danger of the “thermal runaway” effect.
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.”
When a battery is charged (usually under float charge at constant voltage), its temperature rises due to the internal chemical and electrochemical reactions and Joule heating. When the generated heat is balanced by the heat dissipation to its surrounding, the temperature rise stops at a moderate temperature (Figure 1 (a) ).
It is well known that all lead-acid batteries will have a shorter life when operated at a higher temperature. This is the case no matter what type lead-acid battery it is and no matter who manufacturers them. The effect can be described as the ARRHENIUS EQUATION.
