Design And Function: Corrosion
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Batteries may corrode in hot conditions, particularly in countries with hot climates. At high temperatures, the grille in the cell plates corrodes and becomes porous. The connections between the plates may also corrode. The result is a reduction in conductivity and therefore capacity.
