Lead Acid Battery: How Do They Work? | Working Animation | Electrical4U

A SIMPLE explanation for how a Lead Acid Battery works. This tutorial covers the working principle of a Lead Acid Battery and how it is constructed. You can learn more about Lead Acid Batteries here: www.electrical4u.com/working-...
The storage battery or secondary battery is such a battery where electrical energy can be stored as chemical energy and this chemical energy is then converted to electrical energy as and when required. The conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy by applying external electrical source is known as charging of the battery. Whereas conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy for supplying the external load is known as discharging of the secondary battery.
During charging of the battery, current is passed through it which causes some chemical changes inside the battery. This chemical changes absorb energy during their formation.
When the battery is connected to the external load, the chemical changes take place in the reverse direction, during which the absorbed energy is released as electrical energy and supplied to the load.
Now we will try to understand the principle working of lead-acid battery and for that, we will first discuss about lead-acid battery which is very commonly used as storage battery or secondary battery.

*This battery reconditioning program exceeded my presumptions. It worked on any drill battery, several AA and AAA batteries, **batery.repair** and any camera battery. The steps are simple and the act itself is exciting to do. No matter what type of battery you`ve got, it is sure to function again!*

So in your cell, negative plates are hooked together and positive plates are hooked together and then in the next cell I assume the end of each positive are hooked to the negative of that cell and the end of the negative of the first cell plates to the positive of the next so to add up the voltage. At 1: 20-time frame in your video tell me why would SO4 -2 move towards Pb electrode if that electrode wasn't positive in the first place or provide some positive ion to attract the SO4-2. What is up with that and why is no one catching it. If you manage to explain it, I suggest to explain it really good. So your understanding makes sense to you and to me hopefully. Thank you.

Lead(IV) oxide, commonly called lead dioxide or plumbic oxide or anhydrous plumbic acid (sometimes wrongly called lead peroxide,) is a chemical compound with the formula PbO2. It is an oxide where lead is in an oxidation state of +4; bond type is predominantly covalent.

[@Rod-bp8ow]

The Lead acid content and relation with that of the compounds and non compounds are good, since the said compounds and non compounds can be controlled/adjusted to be cleaner, safe as well as healthier, for them to be as efficient, durable and long lasting since it is recyclable/environment friendly, 2022 onwards.

[@edwardchen2031]

The major problem of battery failed is we can not charge battery in a perfect solution. It means every time we charge battery and some PbSO4 does not be removed 100% from Pb plates. So PbSO4 accumulated to cause high internal resistance. The high resistance will make the charge voltage increase fast but battery does not complete the charge process. Finally, the battery capacity runoff. So how to reduce internal resistance by using a perfect charger is what I am doing now. We already work with golf club to repair the failed battery of golf cart. It works as the way to protect environment.

Suresh Pandya I absolutely understand about the electron flow. When your in chemistry and physics realm you use the fact that the elections flow from negative to positive but when you get into the world of electrical schematics conventional current is used exclusively.

If overfilled with distilled water and caused huge amount of the electrolyte to be drained, should sulphuric acid be added or the charging process will auto equalise the acid concentration?

[@DMSGP19]

The thing is that during discharging, the sulphuric acid is in the form of PbSO4, attached or sticked to the electrodes. However when being charged, the PbSO4 is broken down to Pb metal and SO4 ions, which react with 2H+ to form H2SO4.

[@machinerytraders6484]

Good

[@sagarupreti]

Got the fact!!

[@ashchin-a-foeng9667]

How would you charge this battery?

[@muatasimkamal1723]

The best

[@alchemy1]

So you are starting your video to show what happens chemically to an already charged battery as you discharge it. What is a charged battery? "(i.e. a charged battery is a battery that has inequality of electrons in the terminals. The side with more electrons is negative and the side with less is positive). Therefore you are saying that PbO2 is a positive Ion and Pb a negative Ion? You can not put a load to the discharged battery, you can but you won't get anywhere. Which means a charged battery has PbO2 in the positive electrode and Pb in the negative electrode. And as it discharges both electrodes gradually become PbSO4 and once it reaches to that state completely you got a dead battery. So when you begin to charge it again. You turn one of the PbSO4 back to PbO2 and the other to Pb. Since both electrodes are pretty much the same in a state of discharge the reason the negative electrode becomes negative is that you put the negative terminal of the charger to it. So in a nutshell. The charged battery has PbO2 in its positive terminal and Pb in its negative terminals. And in a discharged battery both terminals becomes PbSO4. Right? So you are not creating an imbalance of electrons in the terminals as you are discharging because you are clearly helping remove the imbalance and move the battery towards becoming dead (i.e. increasing entropy) but you say the opposite that you create an inequality of electrons in the electrodes in your website and I copy and paste it here; " As H+ ions take electrons from PbO2 plate and SO4 − − ions give electrons to Pb plate, there would be an inequality of electrons between these two plates"

[@vijayjoshi9154]

Can we use pb3o4 (red lead) instead of pbo2 to form a positive battery plate ?

[@indrafi227]

No brow it has no camical reaction

[@esasaarinen2423]

what would happen if there is too little sulfuric acid in the battery ? My brand new fully charged battery rolled over and lost all of the liquid . When I noticed this I added distilled water and charged the battery. I tested the battery after it was fully charged the specific gravity was only 1.200. The other similar batteries that I have have a specific gravity of 1.300 or more when fully charged. I think I need to add some sulfuric acid in the battery

[@JBattler]

Hmmm...if there are more negative electrons on the Pb plate, wouldn't current flow the other way?

[@killgo3041]

cool

[@baiduipod]

For Sealed Lead Acid battery, there are a lot gas come out during charging but why the Chemical equation doesn't show that?

[@hepburn118]

but H2SO4 disassociates in water into H30 and HSO4, im confused by the H2 and SO4 bit.

[@chandraashutosh2500]

Y end plates r negative plate?

[@sionemoala8093]

Props to whoever came here to learn.

[@everburningblue]

Wait...SO4 gives an electron to Pb, creating an overall negative charge. Yet, the electron flow seems to stem from PbO2 at 2:24. Why? Shouldn't it be the other way?

[@kamalkumarboronofnnagaon6610]

អរគុណThank

[@serene1402]

DC source? What is that word he's saying during charging?

[@dannhagstrom586]

I was confused when you said electrons move from anode to cathode. I thought they go the other way. They are negative and attracted to positive. Thoughts? Clarification?

[@drewniak2094]

On anode there are oxidation, when on cathode there are reduction. From an oxidation you get electrons flowing in a wire (or sth) to a cathode where they are involved into reduction. By the time of they travel, they are used to do electric work. And while you are charging battery you are making the whole situation reverse; electrons from your external source of current are reducing the oxidated form of lead to its REDUCED FORM (PbSO4 => Pb), and on the other side you have SO4 2- ion that is giving its 2 electron to a H+ ions, and then (as radical) reacting with PbSO4 to return lead to its OXIDATED FORM (PbSO4 => PbO2). So while charging you are just reducing the oxidated form and oxidating the reduced form, so you can return to a starting point. The thing is that in PbSO4 you have lead on +II oxidation state, and it can be reduced (to 0: Pb II SO4 --> Pb 0) or oxidated as well (to IV: Pb II SO4 --> Pb IV O2) which is giving possibility to just reverse process and make battery charged again. I hope that you understand :D
