Energy storage batteries are devices that can store electrical energy and output it for use when needed. In the context of China's energy transformation and carbon neutral strategy, energy storage batteries are an important component of power system reform and new energy power construction. Many users have concerns about battery selection, so which type of battery is better for energy storage batteries?

Lead acid batteries

The use of lead-acid batteries as energy storage batteries has been a long-standing practice. The advantages of lead-acid batteries include their early invention and relatively mature technology, as well as their low production and manufacturing costs, which are also one of the main factors in their popularity. However, due to its low energy density and heavy weight per unit volume, coupled with its relatively small capacity to provide multiple discharge, the power it provides often cannot meet demand, and its production and manufacturing materials pose significant harm to the environment and human body. Under the promotion of environmental protection and sustainable development in China, it is constantly being replaced by lithium battery applications.

Lithium battery

Currently, lithium iron phosphate batteries are likely to become the main battery in the field of energy storage battery applications in the future. Firstly, in terms of temperature resistance, lithium iron phosphate battery is the most high-temperature resistant battery among all energy storage batteries, laying a certain foundation for safety and stability. Secondly, in terms of providing high current discharge, lithium iron phosphate batteries are much better than lead-acid batteries. Currently, many intelligent cargo trucks or robots used in warehousing and logistics use lithium iron phosphate batteries. Thirdly, in terms of environmental protection, lithium iron phosphate batteries are environmentally friendly and pollution-free, with a wide range of raw materials used and manufactured, and are good products for sustainable development. In addition, in terms of electrochemical performance, such as battery capacity, energy density, cycle life, etc., are far better than lead-acid batteries.
