Discharge

 

In a lead acid industrial battery, the conversion of the chemical energy of a battery into electrical energy through “Redox” (oxidation/reduction reaction), and the withdrawal of the electrical energy into a load.

Oxidation describes the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion.

Reduction describes the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion.
