Our area of expertise lies in industrial applications such as forklift truck lead acid batteries and we specialize in how to maximize the performance of the batteries to match and even reach beyond the life expectancy of the trucks themselves. In these applications the average guaranteed lifespan of a basic lead acid battery is around 1,500 cycles.
Poor management, no monitoring and a lack of both proactive and reactive maintenance can kill a battery in less than 18 months. This can drastically affect the performance of a battery room. However, there are numerous ways to improve and maximize the number of cycles a typical battery will achieve.
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.
The life of the batteries at a design temperature value of 26 °C and 37 °C can be calculated using the estimated parameters from the model listed in Table 8 and Eq. (9). At design value of 26 °C, the batteries are predicted to last for 23,512 h or 2.7 years and at 37 °C the batteries are forecasted to last for 18,029 h or 2.05 years.
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.
A selection of larger lead battery energy storage installations are analysed and lessons learned identied. Lead is the most efcientlyrecycled commodity fi fi metal and lead batteries are the only battery energy storage system that is almost completely recycled, with over 99% of lead batteries being collected and recycled in Europe and USA.
Key aspects of a 5MWh+ energy storage system
According to calculations, a 20-foot 5MWh liquid-cooled energy storage container using 314Ah batteries requires more than 5,000 batteries, which is 1,200 fewer batteries than a 20-foot 3.44MWh liquid-cooled energy storage container using 280Ah energy storage batteries.

How to store lead acid batteries – BatteryGuy Knowledge Base
In general terms the higher the temperature, the more chemical activity there is and the faster a sealed lead acid battery will discharge when in storage. Tests, for example, by Power-Sonic on their 6 volt 4.5 amp hour SLA battery found it would need recharging within two months when stored at 104°F (40°C) compared to 18 months when stored at 41°F (5°C).
