Lead acid battery voltage, v maintaining without damage.
So in real terms any battery left on charge will alternate between 12.8 volt and 14.4 volt, so a small say 7 Ah battery will sit most of the time at 12.9 volt once it hits 12.8 it gets a pulse of charge hits 14.4 and quickly returns to 12.9 volt, the same applies to a large battery, where with the small one it switches completely off with the

Lead nitrate is soluble, so metal ions would go into solution. The lead(IV) oxide would not form again from these ions on charging, metallic lead from the electrode would dissolve. The battery would no longer be rechargeable. Lead chloride is insoluble, but lead(IV) oxide on the cathode would oxidize chloride into chlorine. Thus no more battery.

View more6 FAQs about [4 volt lead acid battery has no electrolyte]
Which electrolyte can be used in a lead-acid battery?
The only electrolyte that can be used in a lead-acid battery is sulfuric acid. Adding anything but water to a battery can instantly damage it, but some substances are worse than others. For example, baking soda can neutralize the sulfuric acid present in a battery's electrolyte solution.
Can we remove acid from flooded electrolyte lead acid batteries?
A lead acid battery, including flooded electrolyte types, should not have its acid completely removed once it has been filled and charged. It is important not to remove the acid. A lead acid battery consists of several major components, including the positive electrode, negative electrode, sulphuric acid, separators, and tubular bags.
What is the conductivity of a lead-acid battery?
Conductivity is < 1 uS/cm. Total Organic Carbon (TOC) < 50 ppb. Lead-acid batteries rely on a mixture of sulfuric acid and water to function effectively. During normal use, especially during charging, water in the electrolyte evaporates. This water loss reduces the electrolyte level, which can impact the battery’s performance if not replenished.
Could a lead-acid battery electrolyte be replaced by hydrochloric or nitric acid?
Hydrochloric acid, as well as nitric acid, are also strong acids like sulfuric acid. So, why are not they used commercially in lead-acid batteries? HCl and HNO3 can't be used because they both would participate in redox reactions.
What happens if a lead acid battery runs out of water?
If a lead acid battery runs out of water, meaning the electrolyte has fully dried up or the battery has been tilted or stored upside down causing the electrolyte to spill, this is the main concern.
What is a lead acid battery?
A lead acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that has positive and negative plates fully immersed in electrolyte, which is dilute sulphuric acid.
