Lead-acid batteries are made of a Lead-dioxide (cathode), a sponge metallic Lead (anode), and a Sulphuric acid solution electrolyte. This heavy metal element in lead-acid storage batteries makes them toxic and incorrect disposal can be lethal to the environment.

Lead is the significant raw material in a lead-acid storage battery.

The lead-acid storage battery is recyclable with 50% of lead retrieval possible on recycling.

Recycling an old lead-acid storage battery to regain and collect its lead content is not only economically essential but also ecologically required as well.

The cell voltage is 2 Volts.

Leading manufacturers of lead-acid storage batteries are EXIDE, LUMINOUS, AMARON, MICROTEK, etc.

There are many advantages of lead-acid storage for all involved in the value chain be it manufacturers, distributors, retailers, or customers.

Lower cost

Lead-acid storage batteries involve a lower cost of production making it more in demand than other batteries. Manufacturers achieve economies of scale on production prices. The customer gets lead-acid batteries at lower prices too.

Trustworthy and Reliable

Lead-acid batteries have undergone over 140 years of development and have seen changes from then to now and their sustainable uses make it friendly for all parties involved in the sale and purchase of batteries making them trustworthy and reliable for all.

Tough and tolerant

Lead-acid batteries are tolerant to unfavorable conditions which makes it the most sought-after batteries in the long run. Improper working environment and the changing temperature have no or negligible effect on the working of lead-acid batteries.

Inert to overcharging

Overcharging has no effect on lead-acid storage batteries and makes them last longer and become inert to overcharging. The dangers of overcharging can be properly avoided in lead-acid batteries.

High current delivery

Lead-acid batteries can deliver high current making it more effective and efficient than lithium and nickel batteries.

Long shelf life

The long shelf life of storage without electrolytes. Lead-acid batteries have long-lasting advantages in storage without electrolytes giving high performance over other batteries.

Availability of wide varieties of sizes and capacities

Lead-acid storage batteries are available in a wide range of sizes and capacities which makes it superior and rest above other batteries. Multiple uses and multiple applications are feasible.

A wide number of manufacturers & suppliers in India

Many leading manufacturers like EXIDE, LUMINOUS, AMARON, and MICROTEK manufacture and supply lead-acid storage batteries in India making it customers' first choice.

Recycling is its biggest advantage

Recycling lead-acid storage batteries is its biggest advantage making it possible to recycle and regain up to 50% of its lead content

Less effect on the environment

Lead-acid storage batteries on safe disposal put less pressure on the environment and ecosystem.
