    Lead Acid Battery: Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering

    The document provides information about lead acid batteries. It discusses that lead acid batteries are rechargeable secondary cells that use lead and lead dioxide plates separated by a porous material and immersed in sulfuric acid electrolyte. During discharge, lead and lead dioxide plates convert to lead sulfate and the electrolyte becomes more diluted. Charging reverses this process by converting the lead sulfate back to the original plate materials and concentrating the electrolyte. Lead acid batteries have applications where their low cost and durability outweigh their lower energy density and toxicity compared to other battery types.

     CONSTRUCTION OF LEAD ACID BATTERY
     WORKING OF LEAD ACID BATTERY
    BATTERY
    o It is a source which converts chemical energy into
    electrical energy and vice versa.
    o Cell is the building block of battery.
    o Battery is combination of cells in series.

    CROSS SECTIONAL VIEW


    TYPES OF CELLS :
    1. PRIMARY CELL:
    CAN NOT BE RECHARGED
     CHEMICAL PROCESS NOT REVERSABLE
     CHEMICAL REACTION TOTALLY DESTROY ONE OF THE METAL AFTER
    A PERIOD OF TIME
    EXAMPLES- ZINC CARBON (1.5V), ALKALINE (1.5V)

    2. SECONDARY CELL:
    CAN BE RECHARGED
    CHEMICAL REACTION REVERSIBLE
    THE ELECTRODE & ACID MIXTURE CHANGE AS THE BATTERY SUPPLIES
    .THIS IS CALLED DISCHARGING.BY APPLYING CURRENT TO CELL IN
    OPPOSITE DIRECTION,THE BATTERY MATERIAL RESTORED.THIS IS
    CALLED CHARGING.
    EXAMPLES – LEAD ACID(2.0V),NICKEL-CADMIUM(1.2V),NICKEL-METAL
    HYDRIDE(1.2V),LITHIUM ION(3.3V)
    ALSO KNOWN AS STORAGE CELL OR
    ACCUMULATOR
     Chemistry
    Lead
    Sulfuric acid electrolyte
     Features
    + Least expensive
    + Durable
     Low energy density
     Toxic
     Low self-discharge
     40% in one year (three months for NiCd)
     No memory
     Cannot be stored when discharged
     Limited number of full discharges
     Danger of overheating during charging
     Ratings
    CCA: cold cranking amps (0F for 30 sec)
    RC: reserve capacity (minutes at 10.5v, 25amp)
     Deep discharge batteries
    Used in golf carts, solar power systems
    2-3x RC, 0.5-0.75 CCA of car batteries
    Several hundred cycles
    1. BATTERY CASE & COVER:- The battery case and cover ...
     form a sealed container
     Protects the internal parts
     Keep the internal parts in proper alignment
     Prevent the electrolyte leakage
     is made of polypropylene, hard rubber, and plastic base materials.
    2. PLATES:-Two plates:
    1. POSITIVE PLATE- It is made of antimony covered with an
    active layer of lead dioxide(brown coloured).
    2. NEGATIVE PLATE- It is made of lead covered with an active
    layer of spongy lead.
    3. SEPERATOR:- Plates are separated by thin porous separator (woven glass or
    plastic envelope).They allow electrolyte to pass freely between
    the plates but prevent the plates from touching each other.
    4. CELLS:- A typical lead acid battery is organized into cells.Each cells....
     consist of multiple positive and negative plates immersed in their own electrolyte
    reservoir.
     produce about 2.1 volt regardless of battery size.
     are connected in series with heavy internal straps.
    There are four stages of working:
    1. CHARGED: A fully charged battery contains....
    • Negative plate of spongy lead
    • Positive plate of lead oxide
    • Electrolyte consisting of 36% acid & 64% water.

    2. DISCHARGING: During discharging...


    • Electrolyte becomes diluted and plates becomes
    sulphated.
    • Electrolyte divides into hydrogen and sulphate.
    • The hydrogen combines with oxygen from the
    positive plate to form more water.
    • The sulphate combines with the lead in both plates
    to form lead sulphate.

    3. DISCHARGED: In a fully discharged battery, both


    plates are covered with lead sulphate and the
    electrolyte is diluted to mostly water

    4. CHARGING: During charging...


    • Sulphate leaves the plates and combines with
    hydrogen to become sulphuric acid.
    • Free oxygen combines with lead on the positive
    plate to form lead dioxide.
