Sodium Sulphate greatly extends the number of useful cycles the battery can go through (charge/discharge), it also extends the amount of time a given current can be taken before the voltage starts to fall significantly. Not all batteries have this added but the more expensive ones with over 500 cycles claimed almost always have it. Batteries offering only 200 cycles or so will hardly ever have the sulphate added - but around 20g per cell for a normal battery CAN be added if the battery is new or in generally good condition.
Adding it to older batteries with a lot of "sludge" and/or sulphate crystals can encourage the battery to develop an interal short.

Which acid is used in lead acid battery?
Traditionally, sulphuric acid is used at a strength of around 30-38%. However amazingly, a lead acid battery can be emptied of acid, neutralised with something like sodium bicarbonate and then filled with a solution of distilled water and sodium aluminium sulphate. This (astoundlingly I think) can work even better than conventional acid. I am not sure of the chemistry going on when this is done, but should you be interested, googling for somethnig like : lead acid sodium aluminium sulphate - ought to yield results for further study. Anyway, to recap, the traditional acid on a lead acide battery is roughly 35% sulphuric acid. Ok I think it is Alkine coz any time i c a battery it says alkine sorry if its not the info you need
What is the word equation for lead carbonate and sulfuric acid?
Lead carbonate + sulphuric acid = Lead sulphate + carbon dioxide + water
What is the difference between a lead acid wet battery and a lead acid dry battery?
one is dry one is wet... wet once are used for car batteries and dry lead acid batteries the once you put in your remote lets say. I think the dry lead acid battery is maintenance-free and sealed batteries, and the wet batteries is the traditional batteries which needs more maintenance.
What are 10 example of compounds?
Sodium Chloride Potassium Carbonate Sulphuric Acid Iron Oxide Nitrous Oxide Hydrogen Sulphate Lead Chloride Hydrogen Peroxide Silver Chloride Sodium Hydroxide.... 10 examples of chemical compounds.
What gives you lead sulphate and hydrogen when mixed together?
Lead and sulfuric acid would make lead sulfate and hydrogen
Are lead acid batteries installed in cars in factories?
no lead acid batteries are not installed in factories only acid batteries are!!
How do you replenish acid in batteries?
On standard unsealed lead-acid batteries, just unscrew the caps and refill if needed. This cannot be done on sealed lead-acid or gel cell lead-acid batteries. Dry cell batteries don't contain acid.
What are lead-acid car batteries made from?
lead and acid
What do automobile batteries contain?
Common automobile batteries are Lead/acid (dilute sulphuric acid) batteries.

Is sulfur every used in batteries?
Lead-acid storage batteries contain sulfuric acid.
What compound do car batteries use?
Almost all car batteries are "lead acid" type batteries. These type of batteries use thin lead plates and are immersed in Sulfuric acid which acts as an electrolyte.

What is the element used in metal plates in car batteries?
It is lead. That is why such batteries are called lead-acid battery. The chemical make up of the plates in a car battery changes dependant on the amount of charge in the battery. Fully Charged is + plate = lead peroxide or PbO2, -plate = spongy lead or Pb Discharge both the + plate and - plate are Lead Sulphate or PbSO4 Electrolyte is made of Sulphuric acid and distilled water. H2SO4 SDS
Who proposed double sulphate theory of lead acid accumulators?
double sulphate theory was proposed by GLADSTONE AND TRIBE
