Lead-acid batteries are one of the oldest and most widely used types of rechargeable batteries. They are commonly used in vehicles, backup power supplies, and other applications requiring high values of load current. These batteries are made up of lead plates and an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid and water.
The transportation of lead acid batteries by road, sea and air is heavily regulated in most countries. Lead acid is defined by United Nations numbers as either: The definition of ‘non-spillable’ is important. A battery that is sealed is not necessarily non-spillable.
The lead and sulfuric acid in the battery can leach into the soil and water, leading to contamination. Recycling the batteries can mitigate these impacts, but improper disposal can lead to serious environmental damage. What is the lifespan of a lead-acid battery?
Most Sealed Lead Acid batteries using Gel or Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) technology is classed as non-spillable while even a ‘sealed’ standard lead acid battery with liquid electrolyte is spillable.
