The Continuing Relevance of Lead-Based Batteries | Carl Michael Odulio, Ph.D. | NEECECON 2024

The Continuing Relevance of Lead-Based Batteries: Evaluating Traditional Technologies and the Emergence of Lead-Carbon Solutions Carl Michael Odulio, Ph.D. Professor, UPD EEEI While lead-acid batteries represent an old and mature technology, they remain highly relevant due to their cost-effectiveness, tolerance to extreme temperatures, and well-established recycling infrastructure. Despite their lower energy density and shorter cycle life compared to newer technologies, lead-acid batteries continue to hold significant value in many applications. Lithium-ion batteries, with their higher energy density, extended cycle life, and superior efficiency, offer notable advantages over lead-acid batteries. However, these benefits come at a higher cost and introduce risks such as thermal runaway and a complex recycling process. Recent advancements in lead-carbon battery technology have further enhanced the performance of traditional lead-acid batteries. Lead-carbon batteries incorporate carbon materials to achieve improved energy density, longer cycle life, and better depth of discharge (DOD) performance. This study presents data from characterized lead-carbon batteries tested at various C-rates, demonstrating significant improvements in energy density and capacity compared to conventional lead-acid batteries. The results show that lead-carbon batteries offer a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion technologies for stationary energy storage applications, proving that lead-based batteries are far from obsolete. As part of the National Electrical, Electronics and Computer Engineering Conference (NEECECON 2024), this technical session is organized by the UP Electrical and Electronics Engineering Institute with the theme "National Development through Sustainable Industrialization." NEECECON 2024 is co-located with the Advanced Science, Technology, and Innovation Convention (ASTICON) 2024, held from 18 to 19 July 2024 at the Novotel Manila Araneta City in Quezon City. ASTICON 2024 showcased DOST-ASTI and UP EEEI's pioneering contributions to the ICT landscape while celebrating the partnerships that drive technological advancement and societal progress in the country.
