Abstract: This paper discusses new developments in lead-acid battery chemistry and the importance of the system approach for implementation of battery energy storage for renewable energy and grid applications.
Lead batteries are very well established both for automotive and industrial applications and have been successfully applied for utility energy storage but there are a range of competing technologies including Li-ion, sodium-sulfur and flow batteries that are used for energy storage.
Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries. Indeed the total installed capacity for stationary applications of lead–acid in 2010 (35 MW) was dwarfed by the installed capacity of sodium–sulfur batteries (315 MW), see Figure 13.13.
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.
A battery is an energy storage device. Here the lead–acid battery's working theory is discussed. It's rare in the world of rechargeable or secondary batteries. The positive plate contains lead dioxide (PbO 2), the negative plate contains sponge lead (Pb), and the electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4).
Choosing the Right Charger for Lead-Acid Batteries The most important first step in charging a lead-acid battery is selecting the correct charger. Lead-acid batteries come in different types, including flooded (wet), absorbed glass mat (AGM), and gel batteries. Each type has specific charging requirements regarding voltage and current levels.
