Lead–acid batteries

In this chapter, we introduced lead–acid batteries in more detail. Different aspects of batteries are discussed. Active materials, electrochemistry, main and side reactions, and other issues related to this type of batteries were explained. Finally, applications of lead–acid batteries were introduced. The governing equation of lead–acid batteries are obtained out of the general governing equations of batteries. The properties are also presented via tables, equations, and relations. This information will be used in the next chapter to simulate lead–acid batteries under different operational conditions.
