Lead-acid Solar Batteries: Definition, How it Works, and Different
The distinction between deep-cycle lead-acid batteries and regular lead-acid batteries is crucial in understanding their suitability for solar energy storage. Deep cycle
The container is a fundamental part of the lead acid battery's construction. There are, in general, two methods of producing the active materials of the cell and attaching them to lead plates. These are known after the names of their inventors. Plante plates or formed lead acid battery plates. Faure plates or pasted lead acid battery plates.
Lead acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lead plates and sulphuric acid to store and produce electrical energy. It works through a chemical reaction between the lead and electrolyte, which creates electricity when connected to a load. What are the characteristics of lead acid battery?
Lead acid batteries for solar energy storage are called “deep cycle batteries.” Different types of lead acid batteries include flooded lead acid, which require regular maintenance, and sealed lead acid, which don't require maintenance but cost more.
In order to obtain large capacity in smaller construction of lead acid battery, a large surface must be exposed to the electrolyte, and since the size of a single plate is limited, so to increase capacity of lead acid battery, number of negative and positive plates are connected in parallel.
