WORKING PRINCIPLE

The chemical reaction equation for RESOURCE Battery during Charging and Discharging is as follows:

1. At the termination of charging or when the battery is overcharged, Oxygen is produced on positive plate:

   2H₂O=O₂↑+4H⁺+4e^-                                 (2)

    

2. During discharging, Oxygen reaches negative electrodes through the gas path on separator and reacts with active material spong-Pb (in charging state) and H₂SO₄, which, converts a part of active material spong-Pb into lead sulphate (in charging state) and restrains the generation of Hydrogen at the same time.

   2Pb+O₂=2PbO                                         (3)

   PbO+H₂SO₄=PbSO₄+H₂O                        (4)

    

3. Lead sulphate in discharged state due to reaction with oxygen returns to charged state again (spongy lead) through continuous charging.

   PbSO₄+2H⁺+2e^-=Pb+H₂SO₂                     (5)

   Thus, the total reaction on negative electrode plate is:

   (3)+(4)+(5) that is: O₂+4H⁺+4e^-=2H₂O        (6)

   This is right the reversal course of the reaction (2) on positive electrode plate.

   In general, we can see that the Oxygen produced on the positive electrode plate due to decomposition water reacts with the active material on the negative electrode plate and deoxidize water. During this whole process, there is no loss of water in storage battery, therefore RESOURCE Battery can be designed to a sealed structure.
