Are lead-acid batteries a good choice for energy storage?

Lead–acid batteries have been used for energy storage in utility applications for many years but it has only been in recent years that the demand for battery energy storage has increased.

Are lead batteries sustainable?

Improvements to lead battery technology have increased cycle life both in deep and shallow cycle applications. Li-ion and other battery types used for energy storage will be discussed to show that lead batteries are technically and economically effective. The sustainability of lead batteries is superior to other battery types.

Where are lead-acid batteries made?

Lead–acid batteries are manufactured in 18 states across every region of the country . In addition, 10 states have recycling facilities, 9 have technology development, and 10 have companies that provide supplies (e.g., graphite) or equipment to the lead–acid industry.

Why are lead-acid batteries so popular?

The total vehicle market for lead–acid batteries is ~5 times greater than that based on new vehicles due to battery replacements (3-yr life). Although batteries are larger in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, over 70% of all of the SLI energy storage (GWh) is in light-duty vehicles due to their significant advantage in total sales (Figure 24).

What is a lead acid battery?

Lead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.

Are lead-acid batteries a good choice for light-duty vehicles?

Although batteries are larger in medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, over 70% of all of the SLI energy storage (GWh) is in light-duty vehicles due to their significant advantage in total sales (Figure 24). Advanced lead–acid batteries for micro (48-V) and start-stop (12-V) hybrid vehicles are a potential area of growth for lead–acid batteries.
