A lead acid battery is a kind of rechargeable battery that stores electrical energy by using chemical reactions between lead, water, and sulfuric acid. The technology behind these batteries is over 160 years old, but the reason they’re still so popular is because they’re robust, reliable, and cheap to make and use.
If you’re looking to store energy produced by a solar array, lead acid batteries can be a good choice, but newer technologies may prove more convenient and compact.
The article below is all about lead acid batteries for solar storage, but we also have a more general article about home solar batteries.
