The production scale of lead acid battery in China

      The data of investment analysis and prospect forecasting report about battery industry in China during 2017 to 2021 by CIConsulting indicated that the capacity of lead acid battery industry in China increased minus 4.78% year on year during Jan to Dec in 2015.Among them, the capacity in Dec increased 24.49% year on year.

      The capacity of lead acid battery industry in China increased 5.84% year on year during Jan to Sept in 2016. Among them, the capacity in Sept increased 4.91% year on year.

      Analysis on development of super lead acid battery(lead carbon battery)

      The three ministries joint-printed a report on june 20, 2016 that Made in China 2025-Energy Equipments’ implement plan. It indicated that high performance lead carbon battery(supper lead acid battery) is an important program needed to be researched. The target is that researching high conductivity and anti-corrosion new electrode material,designing long life lead carbon mulriple electrode and new anti-corrosion positive plate grid, mastering the thchnology for manufacturing lead carbon battery and developing a long life, low cost lead carbon storage energy device. The report placed a greater demand on lead carbon battery, at the same time, the key position of lead carbon battery in energy storage field was confirmed which will provide a strong support to the development of lead carbon battery.

      In eraly June, 2016,National Energy Board issued Notice on promoting electrical energy storage taking part in the work that power assistant service compensation(market) mechanism pilot in three north area. It is the first substantive policy for supporting energy storage industry. Dominant market position of electrical energy storage facilities were confirmed.

      Lead carbon battery has a obvious advantage in cost. The cost of most of the energy storage technology calculated by per kilowatt or kilowatt hour are too high, which hinders its wide use in energy storage field. Although traditional lead acid batteries have a low price, they don’t have advantages in energy storage system for their short cycle life. The monomer of lithium ion battery can achieve thousands of cycles of life, but the monomer has a small capacity, the cycle of life will be shorten substantially when a large mount of monomers make up for batteries group. So it(lithium ion battery) still has a high cost. The cost of lead carbon battery can be as low as 0.5 yuan per kwh. On the basis of a large scale of production, FCP lead carbon battery is even expected to reduce the cost to less than 0.4 yuan per kwh.

      CIConsulting pointed out in investment analysis and prospect forecasting report about battery industry in China during 2017 to 2021. Lead carbon battery has a wide prospect in the future due to all kinds of policies and its advantages in performance.
