New lead alloys for high-performance lead–acid batteries

Consumers require lead–acid batteries with a high level of reliability, low cost and improved life, and/or with less weight and good tolerance to high-temperature operation. To reduce the thickness (weight) of the grids, the alloy materials must exhibit higher mechanical properties and improved corrosion resistance. In this study, the

Introduction to Silver Calcium Battery

Silver-Calcium alloy battery is one kind of lead-acid battery. Instead of the typical lead-calcium alloy or lead-antimony alloy, the grids are built of a lead-calcium-silver alloy. They are notable for their corrosion resistance and resilience to the damaging effects of higher temperature. In the consequence, battery life was extended and strong beginning power was maintained over
