The quality of a lead-acid battery is determined long before it reaches the finishing line. Specifically, the curing and acid formation stages are notoriously difficult to control due to extreme humidity and chemical environments. 

In this 20-minute technical webinar, Vaisala experts Maria Nyman and Bea Siuro walk through key stages of the lead-acid battery production process and explain how to stabilize these critical processes, eliminate manual sampling, and improve overall battery yield. 

The session is in 2 sections: 
- the curing process, and the condensation challenge 
- acid formation & filling, and the sampling challenge 

 

Why you should attend: 

  • Learn how to prevent condensation-related measurement failures and data loss in extreme process conditions: Discover why standard sensors fail in high-humidity curing chambers (90–98%rh) and how Vaisala's technology excels in these conditions.
  • Fully utilize chambers and reduce production costs: Hear strategies to lower energy consumption and reduce downtime, natural gas, and water usage by switching to non-drift, maintenance-free measurement tools.
  • Eliminate manual sampling, enable automation: Learn how to replace hazardous and slow manual acid checks with inline Polaris refractometers that provide real-time concentration data.
  • Maximize battery lifespan: Understand the direct correlation between precise acid density (30–38%) and the electrochemical performance of the final battery. Measure sulfuric acid concentration inline and in real time across dilution, formation, and filling. 
  • Optimize plate quality, lead formation, and load permeation with fast, reliable measurements.
