From morning commutes to tooling around the golf course on a sunny Saturday afternoon, batteries get your customers where they need to go. The most popular types of batteries for powering vehicles are lead-acid batteries. Though they date back to the 19th century, lead-acid is still the technology drivers rely on most to keep them moving.
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageLead-acid batteries should never be allowed to remain for a long period in a discharged state because lead sulfate could harden and permanently clog the pores of the electrodes. Before storing it for a long time the battery should be completely charged, then the electrolyte should be drained so that the battery is stored dry.
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageLead-acid batteries are prone to a phenomenon called sulfation, which occurs when the lead plates in the battery react with the sulfuric acid electrolyte to form lead sulfate (PbSO4). Over time, these lead sulfate crystals can build up on the plates, reducing the battery''s capacity and eventually rendering it unusable.

About Photovoltaic Energy StorageElectrolyte Condition / Specific Gravity The liquid electrolyte needs to be kept in proper condition in two ways, in the following order: 1) The specific gravity of the electrolyte needs to be tested, using a good-quality battery hydrometer, and 2) The fluid level must be maintained in each cell so that the tops of the lead plates are never exposed to air.
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageIn a functional lead-acid battery, the ratio of acid to water should remain close to 35:65. You can use a hydrometer to analyze the precise ratio. In optimal conditions, a lead-acid battery should have anywhere between 4.8 M to 5.3 M sulfuric acid concentration for every liter of water.
