sulfating
Lead-acid crystal buildup
Sulfating is the formation of lead sulfate crystals on battery plates, particularly in lead-acid batteries that sit unused or undercharged.
The buildup reduces the battery's capacity and lifespan: The car wouldn't start because the battery had been sulfating all winter.
Also spelled sulphating in British English.
