As a "reserve army" to ensure the continuous supply of power, backup power plays a pivotal role, and lead-acid batteries in this field, with a series of unique advantages, show irreplaceable value.

In modern society, the stability of power supply is crucial, once the power outage, small family life into chaos, large hospitals, communication base stations, data centers and other key facilities to stall operation, may lead to serious consequences. As a "reserve army" to ensure the continuous supply of power, backup power plays a pivotal role, and lead-acid batteries in this field, with a series of unique advantages, show irreplaceable value.

Lead-acid batteries have a long history of development, since the advent of the 1850s, after more than 100 years of technical iterations, the process has been highly mature. In the field of communication base stations, it is well-deserved as the main force of backup power. Communication base stations shoulder the important task of signal sending and receiving and data transmission, and need to stay online at all times. Once the mains is interrupted, the lead-acid battery quickly "fills in" to supply power to the base station equipment and ensure the stable operation of the communication network. Taking China's huge communication base station network as an example, more than 80% of the base station backup power uses lead-acid batteries. The direct benefit of its technology maturity is that it has high stability, and after long-term practice, it can reliably output electrical energy in a variety of complex environments, and there are few unexpected failures. Moreover, the mature production process makes the production cost of lead-acid batteries relatively low, compared with other new batteries, in large-scale application can effectively control the construction and maintenance costs. For a large number of communication base stations throughout urban and rural areas, cost advantage is an important consideration for choosing lead-acid batteries as backup power supplies.

In terms of safety, lead-acid batteries have significant advantages. Taking hospitals as an example, medical equipment in key areas such as operating rooms and intensive care units has almost harsh requirements for the continuity and stability of the power supply and cannot be interrupted at all. In the process of charging and discharging lead-acid batteries, the chemical reaction is relatively mild, and the risk of thermal runaway is low. Even in extreme cases, such as the internal short circuit of the battery, the lead-acid battery will not burn violently or even explode like some lithium batteries, and its safety provides a reliable guarantee for hospitals and other places with high safety requirements. At the same time, the electrolyte of the lead-acid battery is sulfuric acid aqueous solution, and the chemical properties are relatively stable, and it is not easy to cause safety accidents under normal use and maintenance conditions. This reliable safety performance allows important places such as hospitals to safely use it as a backup power supply to ensure that medical equipment does not "fall off the chain" at critical times and protects the safety of patients.

In response to different environmental conditions, lead-acid batteries show excellent adaptability. Whether it is the scorching heat, the temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius in the desert area, or the cold wind, the temperature as low as tens of degrees below zero, it can work normally. In meteorological monitoring stations in remote areas, where the environment is harsh and the mains power supply is unstable, lead-acid batteries are used as backup power supplies to stably supply power to monitoring equipment, regardless of the harsh environment, and ensure the continuous collection and transmission of meteorological data. This is due to its simple and robust structural design, and the internal components are less affected by changes in ambient temperature and humidity. Compared with some new batteries that require harsh environmental conditions, the extensive environmental adaptability of lead-acid batteries makes them the best choice for backup power applications in complex environments, providing stable and reliable power support for key equipment and maintaining the normal operation of various facilities in various extreme environments around the world.

Lead-acid batteries also have unique advantages in recycling, which fits the current environmental protection concept. Its main component lead has a very high recovery value, the recovery rate can reach more than 90%. When the lead-acid battery reaches the service life, the recycling enterprise can separate and purify the lead, sulfuric acid and other substances through a professional process, and re-use it to produce new batteries or other lead products. In the data center, a large number of spare lead-acid batteries need to be replaced after a period of use, and its recycling can not only effectively reduce resource waste, reduce the dependence on primary lead mining, but also significantly reduce the potential pollution of waste batteries to the environment. This good recycling characteristics make the application of lead-acid batteries in the field of backup power more sustainable, in line with the development requirements of the society for green environmental protection and resource recycling, and lay a solid foundation for its long-term stable development.

Although new battery technologies continue to emerge in recent years, such as lithium batteries in the energy density and other aspects of outstanding performance, but lead-acid batteries with mature technology, stability, safety and reliability, environmental adaptability and recycling advantages, the core position in the field of backup power is difficult to shake. In the future for a long period of time, it will continue to play an irreplaceable role in ensuring the power supply of key social facilities, maintaining the normal order of production and life, and becoming a reliable "power guardian" that guards the stable operation of modern society.
