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.
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.
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.
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.
For most solar system setups, lithium-ion battery technology is better than lead-acid due to its reliability, efficiency, and battery lifespan. Lead acid batteries are cheaper than lithium-ion batteries. To find the best energy storage option for you, visit the EnergySage Solar Battery Buyer’s Guide.
