The recovery of lead acid batteries from sulfation has been demonstrated by using several additives proposed by the authors et al. From electrochemical investigation, it was found that one of the main effects of additives is increasing the hydrogen overvoltage on the negative electrodes of the batteries.
Often, the term most commonly heard for explaining the performance degradation of lead–acid batteries is the word, sulfation.Sulfation is a residual term that came into existence during the early days of lead–acid battery development.
However, we found that sulfation is the main rea- son causing damages on lead-acid batteries, because about 70％of waste batteries due to deterioration recovered their performance to an almost similar state to that of new ones by the use of additives which affect the negative electrodes.
The sulfation process is accelerated if the battery is left in a discharged state for a prolonged time; or is not properly and regularly equalized. This leads to the development of large crystals that reduce the battery’s active material, decreasing the battery’s capacity and performance.
The increase in specific gravity of 0.010 to 0.012, together with removal of the sulfation crystals, provides an increase of 5% to 10% in capacity over an unrecovered battery. Battery performance is optimized when the resistance due to potential sulfation is dissolved and the plates are clean.
Sulfation occurs each time a battery is discharged and is a normal part of battery operation. The process of sulfation is critical to converting chemical energy into electrical energy, without sulfation there is no electrical energy release from the battery.
