Global Lead Acid Battery Market for ESS 2015-2019

About lead-acid batteries
An ESS is used to store surplus electricity that can be utilized during power shortages, blackouts, and peak hours of demand. It is useful when the amount of electricity generated is greater than the demand.

Various technologies such as pumped-hydro storage systems, flywheels, lead-acid batteries, advanced batteries (Li-ion), and other evolving technologies such as CAES are available for ESS.

A lead-acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses plates made of lead oxide or pure lead. These plates contain lead electrodes along with diluted sulfuric acid that acts as an electrolyte. A typical lead-acid battery contains pure lead that is referred to as a negative electrode and lead dioxide that is used as a positive electrode. The combination of these is known as cells. When two or more cells are connected together, it forms a battery. The battery generally discharges when no current flows between the cells.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global lead-acid battery market for ESS to grow at a CAGR of 5% during 2014-2019.
