Since the proposed system of equations is general, it can be used for investigating the thermal–runaway in any kind of battery systems. In a the second part of this paper (Part II), the present model will be applied to lead–acid batteries. Export citation and abstract BibTeX RIS
For thermal runaway to occur in vented lead-acid batteries, very high extremes of charging current and the resultant high temperature must be present. While this document only considers thermal runaway in VRLA AGM products many of the causes are also applicable to GEL types.
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.”
Valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries that have aged on a float charge at constant voltage occasionally suffer from thermal runaway. Operating conditions for a VRLA battery have been simulated by changing the electrolyte saturation level in the separator and the ambient temperature.
This phenomenon is called Thermal–runaway (TRA). In some batteries (for instance lithium–base batteries), TRA leads to the battery exploding which makes the prevention of such failures of crucial importance. Normally, TRA occurs in batteries during charge, especially in high rate applications such as Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV).
It was found by calculations and measurements that there is a cooling component in the lead-acid battery system which is caused by the endothermic discharge reactions and electrolysis of water during charging, related to entropy change contribution.

Secondary Batteries: Lead Acid Battery Thermal Runaway
Abstract : The thermal runaway effect observed in sealed lead acid batteries is reviewed and reassessed as a means for understanding the effect at a more fundamental level. It is to be noted that a popular explanation for the heat generated when a sealed cell is overcharged is that the oxygen recombination taking place at the negative electrode is an exothermic process.

As a consequence, temperature rises in VRLA batteries must be carefully managed so as to prevent the ever-increasing charge current and temperature-rise effect, i.e. thermal runaway. AGM–VRLA batteries, as opposed to their GEL–VRLA counterparts, are much more susceptible to this potentially catastrophic phenomenon.
