The battery heat is generated in the internal resistance of each cell and all the connections (i.e. terminal welding spots, metal foils, wires, connectors, etc.). You''ll need an estimation of these, in order to calculate the total battery power to be dissipated (P=R*I^2).
There is a small amount of joule heating simply from the currents flowing through the battery components. Also, lead-acid batteries are exothermic on charge, meaning the cell generates heat from the chemical recharge reactions. Under normal operating conditions, this generated heat is easily dissipated to the surroundings.
Thus, under certain circumstances, it is possible to lower the temperature of the lead-acid battery during its discharging.
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
Thus, the maximum voltage reached determines the slope of the temperature rise in the lead-acid battery cell, and by a suitably chosen limiting voltage, it is possible to limit the danger of the “thermal runaway” effect.
Heat issues, in particular, the temperature increase in a lead-acid battery during its charging has been undoubtedly a concern ever since this technology became used in practice, in particular in the automobile industry.
Because of the gradual increase in internal resistance during discharge, this heat will be most pronounced towards the end of the discharge. In the latter case, it is the thermochemical heat generated (or consumed) by the electrochemical reaction at the electrodes during discharge, i.e., the conversion of lead and lead oxide to lead (II) sulfate.
The battery heat is generated in the internal resistance of each cell and all the connections (i.e. terminal welding spots, metal foils, wires, connectors, etc.). You''ll need an estimation of these, in order to calculate the total battery power to be dissipated (P=R*I^2).
When a battery is charged (usually under float charge at constant voltage), its temperature rises due to the internal chemical and electrochemical reactions and Joule heating. When the generated heat is balanced by the heat dissipation to its surrounding, the temperature rise stops at a moderate temperature (Figure 1 (a) ).

There are two types of lead acid batteries: vented (known as "flooded" or "wet cells") and valve regulated batteries (VRLA, known as "sealed"). The vented cell batteries release hydrogen continuously during charging while the VRLA batteries release hydrogen only when overheated and/or overcharged. The vented cell batteries emit approximately 60 times more hydrogen …
