What are the different types of lead-acid batteries?

The lead–acid batteries are both tubular types, one flooded with lead-plated expanded copper mesh negative grids and the other a VRLA battery with gelled electrolyte. The flooded battery has a power capability of 1.2 MW and a capacity of 1.4 MWh and the VRLA battery a power capability of 0.8 MW and a capacity of 0.8 MWh.

What is a lead-acid battery?

The lead-acid battery is the oldest and most widely used rechargeable electrochemical device in automobile, uninterrupted power supply (UPS), and backup systems for telecom and many other applications. Such a device operates through chemical reactions involving lead dioxide (cathode electrode), lead (anode electrode), and sulfuric acid .

What is a positive electrode in a lead-acid battery?

In all cases the positive electrode is the same as in a conventional 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.
