β¦ Synopsis
Tetrabasic lead sulphate (4BS) is only formed in battery pastes that see temperatures in excess of 70 "C. Although it is difficult to oxidise anodically, when converted to PbOz it forms the alpha-polymorph which gives the positive plate a long cycle life. This statement is a summary of what appear to be currently held beliefs. In this discussion, the relevant literature is reviewed showing that this view is wrong.

The physicochemical and electrochemical properties of lead-acid battery positive plates were studied with regard to the method of curing. It has been observed that curing conditions strongly influence electrode composition and electrical performance.
