Consortium for Lead Battery Leadership

The Consortium for Lead Battery Leadership in Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) brings together industry leaders and national labs to advance lead battery technology. With a focus on improving storage capacity and reducing costs, this collaboration aims to enhance energy storage solutions for a sustainable, resilient future.

Advancing Long Duration Energy Storage: The Consortium for Lead Battery Leadership

The Consortium for Lead Battery Leadership in Long Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is a collaboration supported by a $5 million Department of Energy (DOE) grant. It includes BCI, CBI, lead battery manufacturers, and national labs, focused on advancing lead battery technology to achieve 10+ hours of storage and reduce costs. The project aims to enhance battery performance through research, techno-economic analysis, and material science, ultimately improving long-duration energy storage solutions for a cleaner, more resilient energy future.

BCI member companies participating in the consortium include Advanced Battery Concepts, C&D/Trojan, Clarios, Crown Battery, East Penn Manufacturing, EnerSys, Gridtential, and Stryten Energy. The collaborating national laboratories are Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
