6 FAQs about [Lead content in base station batteries]

Are lead-acid batteries corrosive?

Lead-acid batteries contain sulphuric acid and large amounts of lead. The acid is extremely corrosive and is also a good carrier for soluble lead and lead particulate. Lead is a highly toxic metal that produces a range of adverse health effects particularly in young children.

What is a lead acid battery?

The lead acid battery works well at cold temperatures and is superior to lithium-ion when operating in sub-zero conditions. Lead acid batteries can be divided into two main classes: vented lead acid batteries (spillable) and valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries (sealed or non-spillable). 2. Vented Lead Acid Batteries

What is a flooded lead acid battery?

Vented Lead Acid Batteries Vented lead acid batteries are commonly called “flooded”, “spillable” or “wet cell” batteries because of their conspicuous use of liquid electrolyte (Figure 2). These batteries have a negative and a positive terminal on their top or sides along with vent caps on their top.

What happens if you store a lead acid battery?

Stored lead acid batteries create no heat. High ambient temperatures will shorten the storage life of all lead acid batteries. Vented lead acid batteries would normally be stored with shipping (protecting) plugs installed, in which case they release no gas.

How much lead does a battery use?

Batteries use 85% of the lead produced worldwide and recycled lead represents 60% of total lead production. Lead–acid batteries are easily broken so that lead-containing components may be separated from plastic containers and acid, all of which can be recovered.

Can a lead acid battery be regulated?

For example, a vented lead acid battery (UN2794) may no longer be regulated if all the acid has leaked out due to a crack in the case. Heavy metals found in lead acid batteries are toxic to wildlife and can contaminate food and water supplies.
