Applications that have these profiles are solar energy storage and energy storage for off-grid power. Two of the most common mistakes that lead to lead-acid battery damage involve charging — or lack thereof. Some owners discharge their batteries too deeply, permanently altering their chemistry and function.
Overheating is always a potential risk for lead-acid batteries, especially in hot conditions or with an otherwise failing battery. While all batteries will get warm during use, lead-acid batteries that overheat can become seriously damaged.
Lastly, high temperatures can significantly damage a lead-acid battery. Any temperature above 80 degrees significantly increases the degradation of the chemicals in a battery. This causes rapid self-discharge and sulfation. What Are the Most Common Mistakes Made by Owners of Lead-Acid Batteries?
Lead-acid batteries are a common type of rechargeable battery invented more than 160 years ago. At their core, their construction is pretty simple: Two lead plates (one positively charged, one negatively charged) suspended in an acid electrolyte solution.
Because these batteries run on chemical reactions, when conditions are not right for the reaction to occur, the batteries can become permanently damaged. For example, discharging lead-acid batteries below 50% charge will increase a chemical reaction called sulfation and damage the battery.
