What happens if lead sulphate crystals form on a battery?

At the end of the discharge, both plates have been transformed to lead sulphate (PbSO4) If the lead sulphate has formed hard crystals on the plates, normal recharging or equalization is not feasible. The crystals are a very poor electrical conductor and, as a result, the battery can conduct only a minute amount of current.
