    ABSTRACT:
    Lead acid batteries have been well established for over 150 years and remain the largest segment of batteries in use. The market continues to grow in the automotive sector in ICVs, HEVs and EVs, e-bikes, small vehicles, energy storage, and back-up UPS. Furthermore it is well supported by a strong recycling infrastructure which is the envy of all other battery technologies. New recycling methods offer opportunities for controlling the morphology and structure of electrode components in order to derive new energy and power benefits from nanotechnology. New materials offer options for long-life electrode grids that are light and corrosion resistant. A doubling of capacity and rate at a lower cost will offer a paradigm shift in creating new markets for lead-acid batteries.
