Stratification and drainage

A uniform distribution of sulfuric acid electrolyte between the plates of the battery is essential if the battery is to provide an optimum service. Two types of departure from this ideal are encountered in practice (i) a heterogeneous distribution of the liquid phase when saturation is incomplete (ii) and the development of concentration gradients within the liquid phase. [Pg.178]

The heterogeneous distribution of electrolyte between the plates not only influences the oxygen cycle but also prevents complete utilization of the active material since regions of the plate which dry out are unable to take part in the discharge reaction. This phenomenon becomes a progressively more serious problem as water is lost and the total volume of electrolyte decreases. [Pg.178]
