Lead-acid battery

OverviewStratificationHistoryElectrochemistryMeasuring the charge levelVoltages for common usageConstructionApplications

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. Eventually the mixture will again reach uniform composition by diffusion, but this is a very slow process. Repeated cycles of partial charging and discharging will increase stratification of the electrolyte, reducing the capacit…
