How Lead Acid Batteries are Damaged

Auto start batteries are not made to be discharge below 10.5 volts. If this happens the lead sulfate formed on discharge will expand across the plates and separators and short the battery. The voltage across the terminals will measure 10.5 volts. This battery is dead and is not restorable. Another result of low discharge of an auto start battery is the reversal in polarity of one cell. In this...
