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.
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.
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.
Over the past two decades, engineers and scientists have been exploring the applications of lead acid batteries in emerging devices such as hybrid electric vehicles and renewable energy storage; these applications necessitate operation under partial state of charge.
Carbons play a vital role in advancing the properties of lead-acid batteries for various applications, including deep depth of discharge cycling, partial state-of-charge, and high-rate partial state-of-charge cycling.
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.
Battery Specifications Explained
When mixed ready for use in a lead–acid battery, the SG of the diluted sulphuric acid (battery acid) is 1.250 or 1.25 kg per liter. As the battery is charged or discharged, the proportion of acid in the electrolyte changes, so the SG also changes, according to the state of charge of the battery.

What are carriage requirements for waste batteries?
Waste batteries (usually scrap lead acid batteries from vehicles - UN 2794) may be carried in bulk subject to the conditions set out in ADR 7.3.3 VC1, VC2 and AP8. There is no minimum load for bulk carriage so ADR/CDG apply in full. This is fully understood by the relevant trade association and its members have undertaken to train drivers to ADR standards as soon as practicable. If …
