Definition: Any battery that consists of lead and sulfuric acid, is used as a power source, and has a capacity of six volts or more, except that this term shall not include a small sealed lead-acid battery. A small sealed lead-acid battery weighs twenty-five pounds or less, and is used in non-vehicular, non-SLI (starting lighting ignition) applications.
The domestic lead battery industry is still thriving after more than 100 years of operation, offering good-paying jobs in rural communities that prove American manufacturing is alive and well.
