In between the fully discharged and charged states, a lead acid battery will experience a gradual reduction in the voltage. Voltage level is commonly used to indicate a battery's state of charge. The dependence of the battery on the battery state of charge is shown in the figure below.
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.
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.”
As a lead-acid battery is charged in the reverse direction, the action described in the discharge is reversed. The lead sulphate (PbSO 4) is driven out and back into the electrolyte (H 2 SO 4). The return of acid to the electrolyte will reduce the sulphate in the plates and increase the specific gravity.
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.
Operating temperature of the battery has a profound effect on operating characteristics and the life of a lead-acid battery. Discharge capacity is increased at higher temperatures and decreased at lower temperatures. At higher temperatures, the fraction of theoretical capacity delivered during discharge increases.
