Lead Acid Battery, your future is now
I can’t imagine that there are no batteries in our life. Can mobile phones receive a call? May a flashlight illuminate your way? Will your watch turn? Could you still listen to your MP3 while riding a bike? Does your car get started? Of course, you and yours can’t!
Electric vehicles will become a joke without lead acid battery, which is a kind of batteries. It is well known that electric vehicles are completely powered by the battery. If the battery has any problem, you may need to push your vehicles when it stopped. Maybe this will happen to you one day if you don’t maintain your battery.
You may speak of Li-ion batteries that you never see they needs maintenance. So did I. A watch requires a Li-ion button cell battery which is small. And it is often thrown out when it is dead. It will be replaced by a new one frequently for it is cheap. However, if it were your car battery, I think you won’t throw it away. Car battery is lead acid battery which has long life. Of course, it is different from Li-ion battery. The lead acid battery stores energy through a reversible chemical reaction. The reaction of lead and lead oxide with the sulfuric acid electrolyte produces a voltage. Batteries operate in constant cycles of discharging and charging. During discharge, the lead dioxide (positive plate) and lead (negative plate) react with the electrolyte of sulfuric acid to create lead sulfate, water and energy. During charging, the cycle is reversed: the lead sulfate and water are electro-chemically converted to lead, lead oxide and sulfuric acid by an external electrical charging source.
Lead acid batteries are environmentally sound in that they are recycled at an incredibly high rate. Today, 98% of them are recycled. With low maintenance requirements, the battery includes no memory and no electrolyte to fill on the sealed version.
Has been used more than 150 years, lead acid battery is reliable, mature secondary batteries, globally manufactured and therefore a widely understood technology. 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.
With high technology, the lead acid battery will be improved to overcome its compact size and environmentally unfriendly, and then compete in modern times. In the future, lead acid batteries are still the major batteries in many applications. With constant improvement, they will have better future all over the world. No one can replace it regardless of past, present and future.
