Within the Lead-Acid batteriesA key factor influencing its performance is the composition of the grids. This feature can make a significant difference, especially depending on the battery's intended use.
Below, we explain the different types of grids we use in our batteries and how their characteristics impact the performance and lifespan of the product.
1 – Grid composition
Pb/Sb (Lead-Antimony):
The grids are made of a lead-antimony alloy. This alloy improves mechanical strength and tolerance to deep cycles.
Pb/Ca (Lead-Calcium):
The grids combine lead and calcium in the positive grid and lead-antimony in the negative. This design achieves a balance between mechanical strength and reduced water consumption.
Ca/Ca (Calcium-Calcium):
Both grids (positive and negative) are made of a lead-calcium alloy. This significantly reduces water consumption and self-discharge.
2 – Water loss and maintenance
Pb/Sb:
– They generate more gases during charging due to the use of antimony.
– They require periodic maintenance (refilling with distilled water).
Pb/Ca:
– They generate fewer gases than Pb/Sb, but even more than Ca/Ca.
– They have low maintenance, but are not completely maintenance-free.
Poop:
– They emit very few gases and are practically maintenance-free.
Used in heavy vehicles, industrial machinery, solar systems and applications with frequent deep cycles.
Pb/Ca:
A hybrid option, suitable for vehicles and equipment with moderate use and lower maintenance requirements.
Poop:
Designed primarily for modern automobiles and applications where low self-discharge and minimal maintenance are essential.
Conclusion
The choice of battery depends on the application:
Pb/Sb: If you need durability and resistance to deep cycles (solar systems, heavy machinery).
Pb/Ca: Ideal for versatile applications with low maintenance requirements.
Poop: Perfect for modern vehicles and users looking for convenience and low maintenance.
The importance of choosing the right battery
The selection of the technology type is crucial, as it influences factors such as corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and the battery's ability to withstand charge and discharge cycles.
