🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of lead-acid batteries during normal charge vs. overcharge • What causes gassing in a battery and when it becomes dangerous • Relationship between charging rate and battery temperature/gas production

💭 Think About

• Think about what should normally happen when you first connect a discharged lead-acid battery to a proper charger. Should it immediately gas violently, or does that usually occur later in the charge? • Consider whether a normal charge, a shorted cell, or an excessive charge is more likely to cause rapid heating and strong gassing right at the start. • Ask yourself what gassing tells you about the voltage being applied to the battery compared to what it can safely accept.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare normal gassing (light bubbling near full charge) with violent gassing (heavy bubbling, possible overheating) • Recall what happens to current flow if there is a shorted cell—does it usually increase gassing or reduce effective charging voltage across that cell? • Verify which condition would most likely require immediate reduction of charging rate to prevent damage or explosion risk.
