Battery Discharging and Charging
One of two chemical processes is always occurring inside a
battery at any given time—discharging or charging. Here is how
the discharge process works. The electrolyte solution contains
charged atomic particles called ions, made up of sulfate and
hydrogen. The sulfate ions are negatively charged, while the
hydrogen ions have a positive charge. When an electrical load
is placed across a battery’s terminals (starter motor, headlight,
horn, etc.) the sulfate ions travel to the negative plates
