Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

APRIL 1, 2019

A study by a team of researchers from Germany and South Africa forsees the gradual replacement of lead-acid SLI (starter, lighting and ignition) batteries with Li-ion batteries over the next couple of years. That will see an uptake of more hybrid-, plug-in hybrids and BEVs in the EU.

With an appropriate modification of the alternator control strategy, lead-acid batteries can provide brake energy recuperation functionality. It is a more durable 12V lead-acid battery. One of the critical parameters for a start-stop system battery is dynamic charge acceptance (DCA). —Budde-Meiwes et al.

The greatest challenge is the same as that which is plaguing the adoption of fuel cells in the automotive market—the buildout of low-cost green hydrogen infrastructure. Historic growth outside of China is driven by Europe and India, markets affected by the pandemic in 2020 but which recovered in 2021.

In Europe, track electrification will eliminate the need for either diesel or battery storage in many areas. Most of this capacity will be in lead acid and advanced lead acid batteries, with a portion of the market utilizing sodium metal halide and lithium-ion batteries. —senior analyst Dave Hurst.
