Lead-acid batteries are the most widely used type of secondary batteries in the world. Every step in the life cycle of lead-acid batteries may have negative impact on the environment, and the assessment of the impact on the environment from production to disposal can provide scientific support for the formulation of effective management policies.
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
The extracting and manufacturing of copper used in the anode is the highest contributor among the materials. Consequently, for the lead-acid battery, the highest impact comes lead production for the electrode. An important point to note is that there are credits from the end-of-life stage for all batteries, albeit small.
The LIB outperform the lead-acid batteries. Specifically, the NCA battery chemistry has the lowest climate change potential. The main reasons for this are that the LIB has a higher energy density and a longer lifetime, which means that fewer battery cells are required for the same energy demand as lead-acid batteries.

The technical challenges facing lead–acid batteries are a consequence of the complex interplay of electrochemical and chemical processes that occur at multiple length scales. Atomic-scale insight into the processes that are taking place at electrodes will provide the path toward increased efficiency, lifetime, and capacity of lead–acid batteries.
The sensitivity analysis shows that the use-phase environmental impact decreases with an increase in renewable energy contribution in the use phase. The lithium-ion batteries have fewer environmental impacts than lead-acid batteries for the observed environmental impact categories.
