The discharge state is more stable for lead–acid batteries because lead, on the negative electrode, and lead dioxide on the positive are unstable in sulfuric acid. Therefore, the chemical (not electrochemical) decomposition of lead and lead dioxide in sulfuric acid will proceed even without a load between the electrodes.
Among all the tests, the discharge test (also known as load test or capacity test) is the only test that can accurately measure the true capacity of a battery system and in turn determine the state of health of batteries.
Figure 4 : Chemical Action During Discharge When a lead-acid battery is discharged, the electrolyte divides into H 2 and SO 4 combine with some of the oxygen that is formed on the positive plate to produce water (H 2 O), and thereby reduces the amount of acid in the electrolyte.
One of the most important properties of lead–acid batteries is the capacity or the amount of energy stored in a battery (Ah). This is an important property for batteries used in stationary applications, for example, in photovoltaic systems as well as for automotive applications as the main power supply.
A fully charged lead acid battery when subjected to discharge testing typically shows a phenomenon at the beginning of test known as coup de fouet.
For lead–acid batteries, the depth of discharge should be less than 80%, if cycle life is important. The depth of discharge is the critical operational condition affecting cycle life. The deeper the depth of discharge, the more PbSO 4 is formed and it may not always be broken down to smaller crystals during charging.
A discharge test is a measure of the battery''s ability to store energy by slowly discharging the battery to a set voltage cutoff point.
