No one can replace the lead acid battery

The lead acid battery has been the oldest rechargeable battery since it was invented by the French physician Gaston Planté in 1859. Today, they are widely used in many different industries, such telecommunication, power systems, radio, and television systems, solar, UPS, electric vehicles, automobile, forklifts, emergency lights, etc.

Technology progresses in the mid-1970s when researchers developed a maintenance-free lead-acid battery that was able to operate in any position. The liquid electrolyte was transformed into moistened separator and the enclosure was sealed. In addition, safety valves were added to allow venting of gas during charge and discharge.

After research and endeavor of many years, two designations of sealed lead acid batteries have emerged: sealed lead acid (SLA), also known as GEL cell, which serves predominantly in wheeled mobility, and the large valve regulated lead acid (VRLA), which is used for stationary applications. VRLA battery basically replaced flooded batteries in 1996.

In China, Leoch is the largest export merchant of lead acid batteries, supporting OEM production, which has high quality R&D team and unparalleled quality manufacturing standards.

There are more efficient models of these lead-acid batteries in the works. Many companies are working on new or modified approaches of this longstanding battery technology to gain more power and better performance. These approaches take many forms including the use of lighter glass-mat materials, the use of new compounds like low sodium silicate, and the use of lighter materials like lead-tin alloys.

With high technology, the lead acid battery will be improved to overcome its compact size and environmentally unfriendly, and then compete in modern times. NO one can replace the lead acid battery regardless of past, present and future.
