The performance of a soluble lead-acid flow battery and its comparison to a static lead-acid battery
The performance of a soluble lead-acid flow battery and its comparison to a static lead-acid battery
The electrochemistry of static lead-acid and soluble lead-acid flow batteries is summarised and the differences
between the two batteries are highlighted. A general comparison of the performance of an unoptimised
soluble lead-acid flow laboratory cell and a commercial lead-acid battery during charge and
discharge is reported. The influence of the depth of discharge on cycle life for both batteries is also considered.
The flow battery was found to have a better charge efficiency than the static one, but the cells
were found to have comparable energy efficiencies. The self-discharge characteristics of the soluble
lead-acid battery were also measured and compared to reported values for a commercial static battery.
Some self-discharge of the soluble lead-acid flow battery is observed during prolonged periods on opencircuit
but the battery could recover its normal performance after a single charge–discharge cycle.

Abstract
The electrochemistry of static lead-acid and soluble lead-acid flow batteries is summarised and the differences
between the two batteries are highlighted. A general comparison of the performance of an unoptimised
soluble lead-acid flow laboratory cell and a commercial lead-acid battery during charge and
discharge is reported. The influence of the depth of discharge on cycle life for both batteries is also considered.
The flow battery was found to have a better charge efficiency than the static one, but the cells
were found to have comparable energy efficiencies. The self-discharge characteristics of the soluble
lead-acid battery were also measured and compared to reported values for a commercial static battery.
Some self-discharge of the soluble lead-acid flow battery is observed during prolonged periods on opencircuit
but the battery could recover its normal performance after a single charge–discharge cycle.
