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.
A lead battery energy storage system was developed by Xtreme Power Inc. An energy storage system of ultrabatteries is installed at Lyon Station Pennsylvania for frequency-regulation applications (Fig. 14 d). This system has a total power capability of 36 MW with a 3 MW power that can be exchanged during input or output.
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.
Improvements to lead battery technology have increased cycle life both in deep and shallow cycle applications. Li-ion and other battery types used for energy storage will be discussed to show that lead batteries are technically and economically effective. The sustainability of lead batteries is superior to other battery types.
It has been the most successful commercialized aqueous electrochemical energy storage system ever since. In addition, this type of battery has witnessed the emergence and development of modern electricity-powered society. Nevertheless, lead acid batteries have technologically evolved since their invention.
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.

Energy Storage with Lead–Acid Batteries
The use of lead–acid batteries under the partial state-of-charge (PSoC) conditions that are frequently found in systems that require the storage of energy from renewable sources causes a problem in that lead sulfate (the product of the discharge reaction) tends to accumulate on the negative plate. This so-called ''sulfation'' leads to loss of power and early …
