Why is the battery leaking water?

[OElisa]

Car batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a type of battery that plays a crucial role in the operation of vehicles. These batteries are designed with a starved electrolyte system. During the charging process, gases are released inside the battery. Simultaneously, the active materials in the two plates generate heat, causing the electrolyte level to rise, which can result in the phenomenon of water leakage during charging. Solution for car battery water leakage: If you notice water leaking from the car battery, check the electrolyte level. When the level is below the standard line, promptly replenish it with pure water or distilled water, ensuring not to exceed the standard line. Factors affecting battery lifespan: Deep discharge: The molar volume of lead sulfate is larger than that of lead oxide, causing the active material to expand during discharge. Overcharging: Charging the battery electrolyzes water into oxygen and hydrogen. Severe overcharging can lead to significant oxygen release. Excessive temperature: The capacity of a battery increases with temperature. If the battery temperature rises while the total discharge remains unchanged, the depth of discharge decreases. Sulfuric acid corrosion: Increasing the sulfuric acid density in the battery electrolyte boosts the positive plate capacity, thereby increasing the battery capacity.
