When the lead acid battery is discharging, the active materials of both the positive and negative plates are reacted with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate. After discharge, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is decreased, and results in the increase of the internal resistance of the battery.
A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
The different contributions to the voltage drop in the lead–acid cell can be grouped in three main groups: those affecting the electrolyte resistance, those related to the material structure, electrodes and separators, and those involved in the electrochemical reactions at the double layer.
This comes to 167 watt-hours per kilogram of reactants, but in practice, a lead–acid cell gives only 30–40 watt-hours per kilogram of battery, due to the mass of the water and other constituent parts. In the fully-charged state, the negative plate consists of lead, and the positive plate is lead dioxide.
The battery block that supplies current to these systems is usually sized according to the minimum required voltage of the external load and the ohmic voltage drop along the electrical line. Although currently rated at 2 V/e for sizing purposes, lead–acid batteries operate at a starting voltage of 2.1 V/e when fully charged.
3.3 Battery Self-discharge The lead acid battery will have self-discharge reaction under open circuit condition, in which the lead is reacted with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate and evolve hydrogen. The reaction is accelerated at higher temperature. The result of self-discharge is the lowering of voltage and capacity loss.

The initial voltage drop at the switching on process in lead–acid batteries used as UPS may cause the breakdown of the battery and the failure of the external load when this operates within low fluctuations of the set-up voltage. One of the main components of the initial voltage drop is the overvoltage, whose effects can be considered more ...

Lead Acid vs. Lithium-Ion Batteries
A lead acid battery gets the job done with no frills and is rechargeable, but it can be a cumbersome power source due to its weight and high internal resistance. In high use cases the efficiency can drop to as low as 50%. Lithium-ion batteries are also rechargeable, but five times lighter than lead acid batteries. Their "smart" battery ...

Features of Power-Sonic Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
POWER-SONIC Rechargeable Batteries 3 Discharge During the discharge portion of the reaction, lead dioxide (PbO 2) is converted into lead sulfate (PbSO 4) at the positive plate. At the negative plate sponge lead (Pb) is converted to lead sulfate (PbSO 4).This causes the sulfuric acid (2H 2 SO 4) in the electrolyte to be consumed.
