Performance appears to be directly related with battery cost. Battery experts believe that the core limitation of the lead acid battery is the utilization of lead. Lead-based technology has significant unused performance potential.
Technical progress with battery design and the availability of new materials have enabled the realization of completely maintenance-free lead–acid battery systems [1,3]. Water losses by electrode gassing and by corrosion can be suppressed to very low rates.
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.
Tests reveal that the EFB performs better than the regular flooded version, but it is not as good as AGM. Performance appears to be directly related with battery cost. Battery experts believe that the core limitation of the lead acid battery is the utilization of lead.
The energy can also be withdrawn in about the same time, meaning that the charge and discharge times can be made similar. Lead acid is unique in that the battery can be discharged at a very high rate but requires more than 14 hours to fully charge. Lead acid also needs periodic equalization to de-sulfate the plates and correct other ills.
In addi- tion, from an environmental problem, the use of the lead- acid batteries to the plug-in hybrid car and electric vehi- cles will be possible by the improvement of the energy density. References
