Lead –acid batteries can cover a wide range of requirements and may be further optimised for particular applications (Fig. 10). 5. Operational experience Lead–acid batteries have been used for energy storage in utility applications for many years but it hasonlybeen in recentyears that the demand for battery energy storage has increased.
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.
Electrochemical energy storage in batteries is attractive because it is compact, easy to deploy, economical and provides virtually instant response both to input from the battery and output from the network to the battery.
In principle, lead–acid rechargeable batteries are relatively simple energy storage devices based on the lead electrodes that operate in aqueous electrolytes with sulfuric acid, while the details of the charging and discharging processes are complex and pose a number of challenges to efforts to improve their performance.
Energy storage using batteries is accepted as one of the most important and efficient ways of stabilising electricity networks and there are a variety of different battery chemistries that may be used.
Batteries are valued as devices that store chemical energy and convert it into electrical energy. Unfortunately, the standard description of electrochemistry does not explain specifically where or how the energy is stored in a battery; explanations just in terms of electron transfer are easily shown to be at odds with experimental observations.

Energy Storage with Lead–Acid Batteries
Lead–acid batteries in applications with limited charging time or in PSoC operation are rarely fully-charged due to their limited charge-acceptance. Therefore, they suffer from sulfation and early capacity loss. When appropriate charging strategies are applied, however, most of the lost capacity may be recovered.
