Lead Acid Battery

Problem Statement: The critical component in any LA battery is the Grid plate. The challenges that lead acid batteries facing can be addressed by improving the performance of the Grid plate by novel design. Can we increase (i) the battery capacity (ii) specific energy density, (iii) the discharge rate performance, (iv) service life and reduce the weight of the battery?

Background:

Lead Acid (LA) Batteries are time tested and have following advantages over other batteries: low cost; high battery voltage; good high-rate performance; good charge retention; maintenance-free designs; high recyclability of components. The disadvantages are: short cycle life; low energy density; irreversible polarization of electrodes. Though Lithium batteries are preferred in consumer products which are mobile because of their high energy density and light weight, LA batteries are still cost effective and used in most of the stationary applications. There are attempts to make it better with energy density and weight of the battery

Our Technology:

Our unique technology using a multiphysics optimized Grid Design maximizes its chemical, electrical, thermal, structural and service life capacity. The suggested Grid Plate design provides capacity, specific energy density, light weight, high rate discharge performance and service life of lead acid battery.
