One of the most important properties of lead–acid batteries is the capacity or the amount of energy stored in a battery (Ah). This is an important property for batteries used in stationary applications, for example, in photovoltaic systems as well as for automotive applications as the main power supply.
The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.
Although lead acid batteries are an ancient energy storage technology, they will remain essential for the global rechargeable batteries markets, possessing advantages in cost-effectiveness and recycling ability.
Wide differences in cycle performance may be experienced with two types of deep cycle batteries and therefore the cycle life and DOD of various deep-cycle batteries should be compared. A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid.
However, lead–acid batteries have inferior performance compared to other secondary battery systems based on specific energy (only up to 30 Wh/kg), cycle life, and temperature performance. The low-energy density limits the use of lead–acid batteries to stationary and wheeled (SLI) applications.
Another important performance factor for lead–acid batteries is self-discharge, a gradual reduction in the state of charge of a battery during storage or standby. The self-discharge takes place because of the tendency of battery reactions to proceed toward the discharged state, in the direction of exothermic change or toward the equilibrium.

Energy Storage with Lead–Acid Batteries
The fundamental elements of the lead–acid battery were set in place over 150 years ago 1859, Gaston Planté was the first to report that a useful discharge current could be drawn from a pair of lead plates that had been immersed in sulfuric acid and subjected to a charging current, see Figure 13.1.Later, Camille Fauré proposed the concept of the pasted plate.

Technology: Lead-Acid Battery
There are two general types of lead-acid batteries: closed and sealed designs. In closed lead-acid batteries, the electrolyte consists of water-diluted sulphuric acid. These batteries have no gas-tight seal. Due to the electrochemical potentials, water splits into hydrogen and oxygen in a closed lead-acid battery.
