The faults in the use of lead-acid batteries can be divided into external faults and internal faults according to the location.

1) External failure: shell crack, pole pile corrosion, pole pile looseness and sealant dry crack.

2) Internal failures: plate vulcanization, self-discharge, plate short circuit, active material shedding, plate grid frame corrosion and plate arching.

Common internal failures of lead-acid batteries:

1. Plate vulcanization

Failure phenomenon:

1) The battery capacity is reduced, and the single-cell voltage drops rapidly.

2) The density of the electrolyte drops below the specified normal value.

3) The voltage of the battery is too high at the beginning and the end of the charge, which can reach more than 2.7v.

4) The battery generates bubbles prematurely during charging, and even has bubbles at the beginning of charging.

5) The electrolyte temperature rises too fast when charging the battery, easily exceeding 45°C.

6) The voltage drops too fast when the battery is discharged (discharge with a low discharge rate), and it drops to the end voltage prematurely.

7) Generate hard, insoluble, large white particles on the plate.

cause of issue:

1) The battery is placed in the discharged and half-discharged state for a long time. Because the lead sulfate has a large temperature difference between day and night, the two opposite processes of dissolution and crystallization in the electrolyte continue to occur alternately, resulting in recrystallization. When crystallized, coarse and insoluble lead sulfate crystal grains are formed on the electrode plate.

2) The accumulator is often over-discharged or deeply discharged with a small current, so that lead sulfate is generated in the inner layer of the small pores of the electrode plate, and it is not easy to recover from charging.

3) The electrolyte level is too low, and the active material on the upper part of the electrode plate is exposed to the air to be oxidized. When the car is running, the fluctuation of the electrolyte makes it contact with the oxidized active material, producing coarse-grained lead sulfate.

4) The initial charging is not complete or regular supplementary charging is not performed. The initial charge of the battery is not complete or the regular supplementary charge is not performed during use, so that it can be used for a long time in a semi-charged state. The discharge product lead sulfate on the electrode plate will exist for a long time, and it will also form coarse particles through recrystallization.

5) The battery self-discharge due to impure electrolyte or other reasons will produce lead sulfate, thereby providing a material basis for the recrystallization of lead sulfate.

troubleshooting:

If the battery has a mild vulcanization failure, it can be charged with a low current of 2~3A for a long time, that is, overcharge; or use a full discharge and full charge cycle method to reduce the active material; it can also be eliminated by desulfurization charging. Severely vulcanized batteries should be scrapped.

Analysis of the energy density of lithium batteries, how to improve the energy density of lithium batteries?

"Energy density" refers to the amount of energy stored in a unit of a certain space or mass matter. The energy density of a battery is the electric energy released by the average unit volume or mass of the battery. The energy density of a battery is generally divided into two dimensions: weight energy density and volume energy density.
