Industrial Batteries
The strength and readiness of industrial lead-acid batteries to handle deep discharges make them an extremely reliable supply for a variety of industries. they can withstand conditions like extreme cold and hot temperatures, vibrations and nonstop operation for extended periods. These batteries still are the only practical power source for many applications—such as powering backup generators at hospitals or data centers—as well as providing long-duration energy storage when the electric grid is not available (as might happen during an extended natural disaster).
There are many ways to put together a lead-acid battery, but the essence of the matter is that you've got your positive and negative plates, and in between them, you have electrolyte—either in a free gas state or in some sort of immobilized form. The most common form for a lead-acid battery to take is the "flooded" arrangement. In this arrangement, the electrolyte and the electric charge both do what they're supposed to: The electrolyte allows electrons to move through it; as it does so, it facilitates propagation of an electric current from one plate to another. A close runner-up would be absorptive glass mat (AGM) technology. AGMs use fiberglass mats that soak up the electrolyte when batteries are built—all part of making modern inconvenient-to-maintain lead-acid batteries safer.
