The main factors that cause the self-discharge in rechargeable batteries include internal electron leakage due to electrolyte partial electronic conductivity, external electron leakage from poor battery sealing, electrolyte leakage, electrode mechanical isolation from the current collector, etc.
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
Thus, the maximum voltage reached determines the slope of the temperature rise in the lead-acid battery cell, and by a suitably chosen limiting voltage, it is possible to limit the danger of the “thermal runaway” effect.
For single cells, it would suppress the energy output due to the capacity loss, and the accumulation of undesired side reactions would result in excessive cation loss and shorten cycle life. For larger battery packs, the self-discharge will result in inconsistent charging states among cells during charge (Figure 1c).
For the first time, the self-discharge of rechargeable batteries induced by parasitic reactions is elucidated from the sight of the Evans Diagram, which is an effective method used in corrosion science for analyzing the coupled relationship between kinetics and thermodynamics.
Thus, during discharge, the generated Joule heat heats up the battery, while the electrochemical conversion of lead-based active materials with sulfuric acid to lead sulfate and water is accompanied by an endothermic reaction that cannot be neglected in terms of thermal management of the battery.
Similarities between battery chemistries and causes of self-discharge are identified; concepts and ideas obtained this way are outlined. As an outcome of a better understanding of both common and system-independent causes and mechanisms of self-discharge as well as chemistry-specific processes approaches to reduce self-discharge are presented.

[7-13] Unfortunately, the inevitable parasitic reactions in rechargeable batteries always frustrate the real battery performance away from their initial designs due to irreversible self-discharge, [14, 15] which refers to the progress where a fully or partially charged battery gradually loses its initial stored capacity as self-discharge (Figure 1a,b).

However, one drawback of this battery type is that the inherent thermodynamics of the battery chemistry causes the battery to self-discharge over time.
Self-discharge is a phenomenon in batteries.Self-discharge decreases the shelf life of batteries and causes them to have less than a full charge when actually put to use.
