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.
Coolant compatibility with battery chemistry and materials can vary, potentially limiting use in certain batteries. These factors highlight the complexities and need for careful consideration when implementing liquid cooling systems .
Lead-acid batteries, typically employed in low-to-medium power scenarios (from a few watts to hundreds of kilowatts), cater for short to medium discharges, lasting minutes to a few hours . They serve automotive starting batteries, backup power systems, and off-grid solar energy storage.
Safety needs to be considered for all energy storage installations. Lead batteries provide a safe system with an aqueous electrolyte and active materials that are not flammable. In a fire, the battery cases will burn but the risk of this is low, especially if flame retardant materials are specified.
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.
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.
