← ScienceWhich consequence results when excessively discharging a lead-acid battery below its voltage limit?
A)Internal resistance increases significantly
B)Electrolyte's conductance increases linearly
C)Plate sulfation process becomes irreversible✓
D)Active material converts into lead
💡 Explanation
Irreversible plate sulfation occurs from prolonged discharge because lead sulfate crystals form and cannot be fully reconverted during recharge. This reduces active material, therefore reducing capacity irreversibly, rather than simple internal resistance changes under normal operation.
