How Does Lead-Acid Batteries Work?
Lead-acid batteries are prone to a phenomenon called sulfation, which occurs when the lead plates in the battery react with the sulfuric acid electrolyte to form lead sulfate (PbSO4). Over time, these lead sulfate crystals can build up on the plates, reducing the battery''s capacity and eventually rendering it unusable.

What is a Lead-Acid Battery? Construction, Operation, and …
Lead-Acid Battery Construction. The lead-acid battery is the most commonly used type of storage battery and is well-known for its application in automobiles. The battery is made up of several cells, each of which consists of lead plates immersed in an electrolyte of dilute sulfuric acid. The voltage per cell is typically 2 V to 2.2 V.
Lead-Based
When charged, the battery acid and lead plates react to store electricity. Valve-Regulated Lead batteries (VRLA): commonly known as ''sealed'' batteries, have an electrolyte immobilised – either by a gel (Gel batteries) or in an absorptive glass mat (AGM Batteries).
