Common Causes of Lead Acid Storage Battery Failure

Undercharging:

Continuous operation of a battery in a partial state of charge (sulphation)
Not allowing the batteries to reach a full state of charge after use (sulphation)
Storing a battery in a partial state of charge (causes hardened sulphation)
Continuous low charging voltage may cause stratification of the electrolyte causing the formation of lead sulfate (sulphation)

Overcharging:

Continuous-charging by a poorly designed battery charger causing:
- corrosion of the positive plates
- excessive water consumption
- overheating

Under-watering:

Water is lost during the charging process which may cause irreparable damage if the electrolyte level is allowed to drop below the top of the plates.

Over-watering:

Excessive watering of a battery results in additional dilution of the electrolyte resulting in reduced battery capacity.

WARNING: Never add acid to a battery.
