The lead-acid battery industry is going through turbulent times.
Battery manufacturers have to contend with new battery chemistries entering the market.Lithium-ion batteries are taking away certain applications that were the preserve of lead-acid batteries.The battery manufacturers are competing with each other and getting into a price war - with many manufacturers shutting down shop.The customers have become more demanding.Manufacturers with deep pockets and good negotiation skills are surviving.All battery manufacturers must sharpen their negotiation skills to remain in business. How to do it, is the question.

In today’s episode, I have a dear friend, Mr. Achim Lulsdorf, to discuss an important aspect of battery manufacturing.
Your response to the previous two episodes featuring Mr. Achim has been fantastic, and I’m sure you’ll benefit from listening to him today as well.
In a previous episode, I highlighted the importance of battery charging. That was in April 2023 ‘Secret Revealed – The Key To Long-Lasting Batteries’.
However, we’ve both realized that battery formation still doesn’t receive the attention it deserves from manufacturers. Many high-quality batteries perform poorly in the field or have a shortened lifespan due to neglect during the final stage-battery commissioning charge or initial charging.
Mr. Achim and I believe this critical aspect of battery manufacturing needs more focus and proper resources. We therefore decided to do this episode.
Mr. Achim has served as the CTO of Hammond Industries and the R&D Chief of Exide India. He is a busy international consultant, constantly traveling and often away from his base in the USA.
I love podcasting with him, but securing his time is difficult.
Mr. Achim has over 34 years of extensive experience in the field. I greatly admire his willingness to share his knowledge of lead-acid batteries.

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that my dear friend Mike - Dr. Michael McDonagh, decided to contribute to my podcast. During our conversation, he generously shared a wealth of his expertise on GEL batteries.
Dr. Michael McDonagh is a battery industry veteran from Wales in the UK. He completed his PhD in Metallurgy and Materials Science in 1977. That same year, he joined Crompton Batteries, marking the beginning of his distinguished career in the battery industry.
Since then, he has played several roles in the battery business, including worldwide consultant, and has made major contributions to the battery industry. He and I first met in 1998.
Dr. Michael McDonagh is currently the technical editor of BEST magazine, an international periodical focused on batteries and associated topics.
This episode includes his thoughts and responses to the following questions, as well as a few others.
How exactly is a Gel battery different from flooded electrolyte batteries? How does the performance of a GEL battery vary with a flooded electrolyte battery?Do these batteries need to be operated in a specific environment? I mean AC rooms or in rooms with good ventilation?Which is a better battery in terms of life and performance? Flooded Type, AGM, or GEL type?

Lead-acid batteries, a sustainable product, conforming to a circular economy are made using recycled lead.
All used batteries are collected as scrap for melting and smelting. These scrap batteries are recycled. They are smelted and refined. The refined lead is combined with other metals to be used again in the future.
The recovery of lead from scrap batteries is one of the major advantages that makes lead acid batteries economical and a favorite of the circular economy advocates.
All battery manufacturers including established large-scale industries use recycled lead to make alloys for the grid.
The lead oxide used as active material in the battery though made from pure lead, is in a majority of the cases obtained from recycled lead.
Some distributors & dealers of batteries misinform the battery user that their batteries contain pure lead and the competition uses recycled lead.
This podcast episode debunks the myth that battery manufacturers using recycled lead make substandard batteries.

मेरे पॉडकास्ट के इस एपिसोड में, मैं बैटरी निर्माण की एक महत्वपूर्ण प्रक्रिया के बारे में बात करूंगा। यह प्रक्रिया इतनी महत्वपूर्ण है कि इस प्रक्रिया के दौरान जरा सी भी लापरवाही बैटरी की विफलता का कारण बनती है। यहां तक कि इस प्रक्रिया में गलती के कारण उत्कृष्ट सामग्री के साथ इकट्ठी हुई बैटरी भी विफल हो जाती है।
बैटरी का प्रदर्शन और जीवन दोनों ही इस प्रक्रिया पर काफी हद तक निर्भर हैं। वास्तव में, यदि इस प्रक्रिया को ठीक से नहीं किया गया तो सर्वोत्तम बैटरियां क्षतिग्रस्त हो सकती हैं।
