What is the danger of leaving a battery discharged for a long time?
The lead sulfate that covers the plates will become hard when the battery is left discharged; the pores become obstructed and do not allow the electrolyte to flow, the active elements of the plates therefore cannot function, thus reducing the effective capacity of the battery. The end result is that a sulfated battery is more difficult to charge.
