2 Technical Features of 2V GEL Battery
2.1 Chemistry Reaction during Charge and Discharge
2.1.1 Electrochemical Process in a Battery as Follow
Discharge
PbO2 + 2H2SO4 + Pb 2PbSO4 + 2H2O
Charge
From the reaction equation, the following results can be obtained:
• Discharging: PbO2 in positive plate reacts with Pb in negative plates and H2SO4 in
electrolyte. This reaction generates PbSO4, and the density of H2SO4 decreased.
• Charging: PbSO4 is deoxidized to PbO2 and Pb, and the density of H2SO4 increased.

2.1.2 Chemistry Reaction of the Final Charging Stage
1 At the end of charging, the voltage of battery is up to a certain value, and the
positive pole will give off O2, because of dissolution of water. The reaction is:
H2O→2H＋
＋1/2O2＋2e－
2 The generated O2 is transferred to the negative pole through the separators, and
then reacts with Pb.
2Pb＋O2→2PbO
3 PbO is alkalescence oxide, which reacts with H2SO4 immediately and generates
PbSO4.
PbO+H2SO4→PbSO4+H2O
4 PbSO4 is transformed into sponginess Pb via charging.
PbSO4＋2H＋
＋2e
－
→Pb＋H2SO4
5 The reaction at the negative plate is:
O2+4H
＋
+4e
－
→2H2O
During charging, the water wasted on positive plate will be supplemented by the
water produced on negative plate, so there is no need to add water, which makes
battery easy to be maintained.

discharge depth
• Charging temperature compensation:
When the temperature is over 25℃, the float or equalization charging voltage will
decrease 3mV when the temperature goes up by 1℃, and the float or equalization
charging voltage will increase 3mV when the temperature goes down by 1℃.

2.3 Discharging Performance
• Rated capacity: Under condition of ambient temperature 25℃, discharging with I10
until the terminal voltage is down to 1.8V, the discharging capacity is rated capacity.
• Capacity with different discharge rate（refers to YD/T 1360-2005, at 25℃）
C10——rated capacity of 10 hours discharge current (A·h), the value is 1.0 C10
C3—— rated capacity of 3 hours discharge current (A·h), the value is 0.75 C10

C1—— rated capacity of 1 hours discharge current (A·h), the value is 0.50 C10
Ct —— Ct is the product of discharge current I(A) multiplicative the discharge
time(A·h)
Ce—— actual capacity at 25℃ (A·h)
I10——10 hours discharge current, the value is 1.0I10 (A) or 0.1C10
I3 —— 3 hours discharge current, the value is 2.5I10 (A) or 0.25C10

• Relationship curve between discharge capacity and temperature:
Figure 3 Relationship curve between discharge capacity and temperature
The general principle is: in the working condition below 25℃, GEL battery’s
effective capacity would decrease 8% when the temperature drops every 10℃.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence incurred by the temperature of
working condition when calculating the effective capacity.
• Self-discharge characteristics: The capacity could remain above 90% after storage
3 months at 25℃.
• Relationship curves between remaining capacity and temperature:

2.4 Life
• Design life of battery ≥ 20 years (20℃):
Temperature has a great impact on battery’s cycle life. Designed life is in float
charging at 20-25℃. Actual life varies with the ambient temperature. For example:
as temperature increased by 10℃, the cycle life of battery decreased by 50%.
