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 …
