Introduction to Lead Acid Batteries

Lead acid batteries are among the most widely used energy storage devices due to their cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ability to deliver high surge currents. They are commonly used in automotive starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) systems, as well as in backup power supplies and standalone power systems.

Working Mechanism of Lead Acid Batteries

The lead acid battery consists of lead dioxide (PbO₂) as the positive plate, sponge lead (Pb) as the negative plate, and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) electrolyte. The nominal voltage of each cell is approximately 2 volts. A typical 12-volt lead acid battery contains six cells connected in series.

Chemical Reactions

The charging and discharging cycles involve specific electrochemical reactions:

• During Discharge:
• PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + 2e⁻ → PbSO₄ + 2H₂O (at the positive plate)
• Pb + SO₄²⁻ → PbSO₄ + 2e⁻ (at the negative plate)
• During Charge:
• PbSO₄ + 2H₂O → PbO₂ + 4H⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + 2e⁻ (at the positive plate)
• PbSO₄ + 2e⁻ → Pb + SO₄²⁻ (at the negative plate)

Performance Parameters

Lead acid batteries are characterized by the following important parameters:

• Energy Density: 30-40 Wh/kg
• Efficiency: 70-85%
• Cycle Life: 500-1000 cycles under optimal conditions
• Temperature Range: -20°C to 50°C
