Lead acid battery

详情

A lead acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lead dioxide (PbO2) as the positive plate, sponge lead (Pb) as the negative plate, and a sulfuric acid solution as the electrolyte. It is widely used due to its cost-effectiveness, reliability, and ability to deliver high surge currents. Lead acid batteries are commonly found in automotive applications, such as starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) systems, as well as in backup power supplies, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and various industrial and renewable energy systems. They are known for their robustness and ability to perform well in a variety of conditions. However, they are relatively heavy and have a limited cycle life compared to more advanced battery technologies. Proper maintenance and recycling are essential to manage their environmental impact and extend their service life.
