Axion Power has developed several technological improvements to traditional lead-acid batteries, and owns numerous patents covering them. Resulting enhancements include deeper cycling, longer life, elimination of sulfation and shedding on the negative plate, lighter weight, and easier and more rapid recharging capabilities.

The reversible redox reaction without the formation of resistive solid products promotes rechargeability, demonstrating 100 cycles with negligible capacity fading. The Li-I 2 batteries showed high energy density and excellent recharge ability. The high solubility of triiodide/iodide redox couples results in an energy density of ~ 0.33?kWh?kg

Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. By 2020 our battery costs will be less than $100 a kilowatt-hour (kWh). For example, a lead acid battery does not perform well at 1 C C-rate. Earlier post.). Brunini, W.

"From what we have seen so far, [Chinese electric vehicle] technology is not that advanced" in terms of things like battery life, driving range and recharging, said Nick Reilly, head of GM Asia-Pacific operations, on Monday. "But low-cost commuter EVs like ours is already a reality, within the reach of thrifty farmers."

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.
