So I know lithium ion is the current hot stuff right now, but is anyone still running on lead-acid batteries? There have been several reported advancements that are supposed to be coming to market in the next two years. Lead/graphene-acid and bipolar lead-acid to name two.
Both of these developments claim to increase capacity while decreasing weight and improving charging time.
Lead has several advantages over lithium (energy density not being one of them) such as recyclability and a well established infrastructure.
All this being said, is anyone running anything interesting for lead-acid batteries?
I still run in the lead-acid class in my Electrathon races so I'm always interested in finding the best batteries I can.
The Victron Super-Cycle batteries look interesting...
but I haven't tried them yet.
