This experiment can be used as a class practical or demonstration. Students learn how to construct a simple lead–acid cell consisting of strips of lead and an electrolyte of dilute sulfuric acid. The cell should then be charged for different lengths of time, before being discharged through a light bulb.
The recovery of lead acid batteries from sulfation has been demonstrated by using several additives proposed by the authors et al. From electrochemical investigation, it was found that one of the main effects of additives is increasing the hydrogen overvoltage on the negative electrodes of the batteries.
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.
In other words, they have a large power-to-weight ratio. Another serious demerit of lead-acid batteries is a rela- tively short life-time. The main reason for the deteriora- tion has been said to be the softening of the positive elec- trodes.
Thus, under certain circumstances, it is possible to lower the temperature of the lead-acid battery during its discharging.

The "coup de fouet" is a phenomenon particular to lead-acid batteries (LABs), which occurs at the beginning of the discharge of a battery (or a cell) previously fully charged. It corresponds to a short voltage drop ( Fig. 1 a) of about 10–30 mV by cell, lasting a few minutes or less depending on the operating conditions [1] .

Innovations of Lead-Acid Batteries
Lead-acid battery was invented by Gaston Plante in ... This phenomenon is called "sulfa-tion". If the charging voltage is simply increased in order to recover from the sulfation, the most current will be spent not in charging but in the electrolysis of water, which will cause a temperature rise and drying up of the electrolyte of the battery. Therefore, such a battery will usually be ...

How Does Lead-Acid Batteries Work?
Lead-acid batteries are prone to a phenomenon called sulfation, which occurs when the lead plates in the battery react with the sulfuric acid electrolyte to form lead sulfate (PbSO4). Over time, these lead sulfate crystals can build up on the plates, reducing the battery''s capacity and eventually rendering it unusable. Desulfation is the process of reversing sulfation …
