Advancements in Lead Acid Battery Technology: Exploring New Systems
Most battery systems nowadays offer reasonably fast charging, typically within an hour, and can discharge energy in a similar timeframe. However, lead acid batteries stand out with their capability for high-rate discharge but require over 14 hours for a full charge. This unique characteristic, coupled with the need for periodic equalization to address sulfation issues, presents challenges.
The sluggish process of lead sulfate formation and dissolution on the negative electrode, made of pure lead, is a primary concern. This phenomenon leads to hydrogen generation and water loss during charging, limiting the battery's charge acceptance. Over time, lead sulfate crystals engrain, further reducing performance.
To tackle these limitations, new lead acid systems integrate carbon into the negative electrode, yielding promising results.
Advanced Lead-carbon (ALC) technology addresses sulfate accumulation by incorporating carbon into the negative plate, transforming the battery into a quasi-asymmetric supercapacitor. This enhancement improves charge and discharge performance significantly. ALC batteries are being tested as replacements for traditional starter batteries in start-stop applications and 48V micro and mild hybrid systems. Their rapid charging capability, especially during regenerative braking, surpasses that of conventional lead acid batteries. Additionally, ALC batteries boast advantages over lithium-ion counterparts, such as lower cost, operational viability at subfreezing temperatures, and independence from active cooling requirements. They can operate between 30 and 70 percent state-of-charge without sulfation concerns, outlasting traditional lead acid batteries. However, they exhibit a rapid voltage drop on discharge, resembling supercapacitor behavior.
Enhanced Flooded Battery (EFB) technology emerged as a cost-effective solution for start-stop mode in vehicles. While not as robust as absorbent glass mat (AGM) batteries, EFB batteries outperform traditional flooded batteries in this application, albeit with some compromise on performance.
In summary, advancements in lead acid battery technology, particularly through the integration of carbon-based materials, hold the key to unlocking the untapped potential of lead-based systems. These innovations promise improved performance, reduced sulfation, enhanced conductivity, and increased charge acceptance, driving the evolution of lead acid batteries.
