Results for tag: "Flooded Lead Acid Battery"

Flooded lead acid batteries are a well-established technology commonly used in the automotive industry for starting, lighting, and igniting (SLI) applications in vehicles. These batteries feature lead plates submerged in an electrolyte solution of sulfuric acid and water. They have been the primary choice for automotive batteries due to their reliability, relatively low cost, and established manufacturing and recycling infrastructure. While the automotive battery market has been witnessing a shift towards advanced battery technologies such as lithium-ion for electric and hybrid vehicles, flooded lead acid batteries continue to hold a considerable share of the market for traditional internal combustion engine vehicles and in areas such as aftermarket sales and replacements. With the advent of more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technologies, manufacturers of flooded lead acid batteries are focusing on innovation, improving charge acceptance, and reducing maintenance to retain their market position. Additionally, these batteries serve various other functions in vehicles, including powering electrical systems when the engine is off and providing a surge current when the engine starts. Some notable companies operating within the flooded lead acid battery market for automotive uses include Johnson Controls, Exide Technologies, East Penn Manufacturing, GS Yuasa Corporation, and EnerSys. These companies produce a range of automotive batteries catering to different vehicle requirements and have a strong presence in both the OEM and aftermarket sectors. Show Less Read more
