Publish Time: 2024-08-26
Lead-acid Batteries have a series of significant advantages, which make them occupy an important position in many fields, such as automobiles, motorcycles, electric vehicles, communications, power transmission, etc. The following is a detailed summary of its advantages:
Mature technology and long history:
Lead-acid batteries have a history of more than 150 years since they were invented by Plant in 1859, and the technology is very mature. This long-term technological accumulation ensures the stability and reliability of lead-acid batteries.
Low cost:
The raw materials of lead-acid batteries are abundant and renewable, such as lead and sulfuric acid, which makes their production cost relatively low. At the same time, due to its wide application base and mature industrial chain, the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are further reduced.
Strong high current discharge performance:
Lead-acid batteries have excellent high current discharge capacity, which makes them excellent in application scenarios that require high current starting or short-term high load operation, such as car starting batteries.
Smooth voltage characteristics:
During the discharge process of lead-acid batteries, the voltage changes relatively smoothly, which is conducive to maintaining stable operation of the equipment and extending the life of the equipment.
Wide temperature application range:
Lead-acid batteries can work normally in a wide temperature range. Although their optimal operating temperature is generally between 20℃ and 25℃, even at lower or higher temperatures, their performance is reduced, but they can still maintain a certain discharge capacity.
Large single cell capacity:
Lead-acid batteries have a relatively large single cell capacity, which can meet the energy storage needs of various application scenarios. At the same time, they can be flexibly combined into battery packs of different voltages and capacities by connecting in series or in parallel.
High safety:
Lead-acid batteries have high safety under normal use and are not prone to dangerous situations such as combustion or explosion. In addition, their electrolyte is dilute sulfuric acid, which is relatively safe.
Recyclable:
Waste batteries of lead-acid batteries can be recycled and reused to reduce environmental pollution and waste of resources. At the same time, valuable resources such as metal lead can also be extracted during the recycling process.
Wide range of application fields:
Due to the above advantages, lead-acid batteries are widely used in automobiles, trains, tractors, motorcycles, electric vehicles, communications, power stations, power transmission, instrumentation, UPS power supplies, aircraft, tanks, ships, radar systems and other fields.
Lead-acid batteries play an important role in many fields with their mature technology, low cost, strong high current discharge performance, stable voltage characteristics, wide temperature range, large single cell capacity, high safety and recyclability.
