The research on lead-acid battery activation technology is a key link in the “ reduction and resource utilization “ of lead-acid batteries. Charge and discharge technology is indispensable in the activation of lead-acid batteries, and there are serious consistency problems in decommissioned lead-acid batteries.
Studies have shown that LFP batteries can maintain more than 95 % of their capacity after 1000 cycles . Therefore, lithium-ion batteries can replace lead-acid batteries and have broad prospects in terms of energy storage . The production phase of batteries is an energy-intensive process, which also causes many pollutant emissions.
The results showed that the secondary utilization of LFP in the energy storage system could effectively reduce fossil fuel consumption in the life cycle of lithium-ion batteries. If more than 50 % of lithium-ion batteries could be reused, most environmental impacts would be offset.
Charging and discharging a battery with poor consistency will hardly allow the battery to be effectively activated. According to the characteristics of lead-acid batteries, we carry out research on lead-acid battery activation technology, focusing on the series activation technology of lead-acid batteries with poor consistency.
The environmental and economic considerations associated with lithium-ion battery recycling emphasize the need to address environmental impacts, conduct life cycle assessments, evaluate economic feasibility, and explore job creation and resource recovery potential.
