Question

What is sulphation as applied to lead acid cells?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Sulfation happens inside Lead–acid batteries when the electrolyte starts to break down. As the sulphuric acid (electrolyte) splits up, sulfur ions become free forming crystals.
• These sulfur ion crystals then stick to the lead plates of the battery, thus forming lead sulfate crystals.
