Can lead-acid batteries give full play to the final waste heat in clean energy transformation?

The international battery Innovation Alliance (CBI) recently outlined the research objectives for the development of lead-acid batteries, claiming that the potential of lead-acid battery technology has not been fully developed and that it can take advantage of the growing opportunities in the energy storage market to achieve the research and development objectives. It is composed of stakeholders in the lead-acid battery industry.

Lead acid batteries can play an important role in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage applications and other energy applications together with lithium-ion batteries and other energy storage technologies.

Davidson, head of the international battery Innovation Alliance (CBI), said: "as governments are trying to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy, battery technology is also in the wave of revolution and innovation. We need to provide a series of high-performance batteries for different products and applications to adapt to this growth trend.

Davidson published a survey called "innovative road map of advanced lead-acid batteries", which pointed out that the demand for all types of energy storage systems is increasing due to the continuous increase of renewable energy generation capacity and the demand that energy storage systems can support intermittent power generation. Due to its wide application in electric vehicles, people's attention is mainly focused on lithium-ion battery products.

In the summary of the report, Davidson pointed out that "driven by the ambitious goals set by governments around the world for decarbonization and electrification, energy demand is growing significantly. But only one technology can not meet the demand. The scale and performance of lead-acid battery make it one of the battery technologies that can meet these requirements.
