All lead acid batteries discharge when in storage – a process known as ''calendar fade'' – so the right environment and active maintenance are essential to ensure the batteries maintain their ability to achieve fill capacity. This is true of both flooded lead acid and sealed lead acid batteries. Temperature. The ideal storage temperature is 50°F (10°C). In general terms
Lead-acid batteries have their origins in the 1850s, when the first useful lead-acid cell was created by French scientist Gaston Planté. Planté''s concept used lead plates submerged in an electrolyte of sulfuric acid, allowing for the reversible electrochemical processes required for energy storage.
Lead acid batteries play a vital role in solar energy systems, as they store the electricity generated by solar panels for later use. When sunlight hits the solar panels, it generates DC (direct current) electricity.. But, this

Abstract: This paper discusses new developments in lead-acid battery chemistry and the importance of the system approach for implementation of battery energy storage for renewable energy and grid applications.
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.
The high-rate charge acceptance of lead–acid batteries can be improved by the incorporation of extra carbon of an appropriate type in the negative plate — either as small amounts in the active material itself, or as a distinct layer as in the UltraBattery ®.
Hydrogen that is generated during the overcharging of lead–acid batteries that are housed in confined spaces may become an explosion risk. This hazard can be avoided by management of the charging process and by good ventilation. 13.4. Environmental Issues The main components of the lead–acid battery are listed in Table 13.1.
