Get a quoteLead–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.
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.
This is the primary factor that limits battery lifetime. Deep-cycle lead-acid batteries appropriate for energy storage applications are designed to withstand repeated discharges to 20 % and have cycle lifetimes of ∼2000, which corresponds to about five years. Battery capacity is reported in amp-hours (Ah) at a given discharge rate.
Batteries use 85% of the lead produced worldwide and recycled lead represents 60% of total lead production. Lead–acid batteries are easily broken so that lead-containing components may be separated from plastic containers and acid, all of which can be recovered.
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.
People used to buy “Lead-Acid” was because it was cheap; however, we are now offering “Lithium Batteries” at the same price per Usable/KWh that last (3x) as long and require no maintenance. Lead-Acid batteries have limited usable capacity and can be discharged to 50%.
