While lead acid batteries may not possess the glamour of lithium-ion or the exotic promise of flow batteries, they remain a cost-effective powerhouse for large-scale energy storage. Their
Lead–acid batteries are supplied by a large, well-established, worldwide supplier base and have the largest market share for rechargeable batteries both in terms of sales value
Lead-acid battery energy is also a well-established alternative, with an enviable track record. It had a market share valued at US$ 48.3 billion in 2022. Although this slice of the cake should grow to US$ 75.0 billion by 2031, according to Straits Research. The lead-acid battery sector includes two major divisions.
A selection of larger lead battery energy storage installations are analysed and lessons learned identified. Lead is the most efficiently recycled commodity 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.
Lead-acid batteries (in total) amounted to 401 MW capacity worldwide in 2015 (0.1% of installed utility-scale storage) (IRENA, 2015) - this is assumed to be for both temporal and short-term storage. The global storage capacity is dominated by pumped hydro storage at 99% of installed capacity (IRENA, 2015).

Lead−acid batteries are eminently suitable for medium- and large-scale energy-storage operations because they offer an acceptable combination of performance parameters
Lead–acid batteries are supplied by a large, well-established, worldwide supplier base and have the largest market share for rechargeable batteries both in terms of sales value and MWh of production. The largest market is for automotive batteries with a turnover of $25BN and the second market is for industrial batteries

Lead-acid batteries can be found in a wide variety of applications, including small-scale power storage such as UPS systems, starting, lighting, and ignition power sources for automobiles, along with large, grid-scale power systems. While inexpensive when compared to competing battery technologies, lead-acid cells have a significantly lower
Lead acid batteries are known for their economical lead acid battery pricing. They help save money in solar energy storage systems. They take up 20% to 30% of costs in the life of microgrid systems. Though Li-ion batteries last longer, are more efficient, and can be used more deeply, they''re more expensive.
While lead acid batteries may not possess the glamour of lithium-ion or the exotic promise of flow batteries, they remain a cost-effective powerhouse for large-scale energy storage. Their proven reliability, coupled with their remarkable cost advantage, makes them an indispensable ally in the transition to a more sustainable and resilient
Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries. Indeed the total installed capacity for stationary applications of lead–acid in 2010 (35 MW) was dwarfed by the installed capacity of sodium–sulfur batteries (315 MW), see Figure 13.13.
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.
Of the 31 MJ of energy typically consumed in the production of a kilogram of lead–acid battery, about 9.2 MJ (30%) is associated with the manufacturing process. The balance is accounted for in materials production and recycling.
Applications of lead-acid batteries in medium- and long-term energy storage While the energy density and cycling characteristics of Pb-acid battery technology are inferior to competing technologies, these are offset to a large degree by the low cost and high maturity level of the industry.
The global market for lead–acid batteries is forecast to reach US$ 15.4 billion by the year 2015, charged by sustained demand from the automobile industry, specifically the aftermarket/replacement market. Currently, stationary energy-storage only accounts for a tiny fraction of the total sales of lead–acid batteries.
Lead–acid batteries may be flooded or sealed valve-regulated (VRLA) types and the grids may be in the form of flat pasted plates or tubular plates. The various constructions have different technical performance and can be adapted to particular duty cycles. Batteries with tubular plates offer long deep cycle lives.
