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.
Many organizations have established standards that address lead-acid battery safety, performance, testing, and maintenance. Standards are norms or requirements that establish a basis for the common understanding and judgment of materials, products, and processes.
This comes to 167 watt-hours per kilogram of reactants, but in practice, a lead–acid cell gives only 30–40 watt-hours per kilogram of battery, due to the mass of the water and other constituent parts. In the fully-charged state, the negative plate consists of lead, and the positive plate is lead dioxide.
The theoretical specific energy of the lead-acid battery is calculated below using the molecular weights of the reactants and the chemical formulas. The number of electrons exchanged is an important factor in the energy density of a battery reaction, because it determines the total current that the reactants can deliver.
This technology strategy assessment on lead acid batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
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.
