Lead-acid batteries have been fulfilling the needs of day-to-day energy storage for years now, encouraging both renewable energy and keeping a low carbon footprint. One of the biggest challenges to a battery-energy storage system is the difficulty in identifying the right type of battery. Conducting a reasonable comparison is difficult, because of varied factors, such as depth of discharge, operating temperature, recharge time, size/footprint, energy density, cost and more. Every industry has different requirements, which are growing and changing rapidly. Leoch Battery produces lead-acid batteries keeping all these factors in mind and serves various industries as per their requirements. A global manufacturer of lead-acid batteries, Leoch Battery has been supplying a wide variety of designs in batteries for 20 years. From telecom, automotive to general-purpose applications, the company offers solutions that fit the needs of all, in terms of energy storage component, use, and functionality. “We provide the heart and soul of an energy storage solution—the battery—working with system integrators who combine with the other components to provide the whole solution,” says Dianne Dickey, President of Leoch Battery, North America.The company manufactures lead-acid batteries that suit different weather conditions, specific applications, and system sizes.

The company started twenty years ago, with just one plant in China, and has since expanded its presence in five different countries with ten manufacturing plants and production capacity of 20,000,000 KVAH per year. With around 500 engineers working in the company’s six R&D centers, Leoch Battery is continuously exploring advanced designs and technologies to create the next generation of battery design. One example is its strategic partnership with Gridtential Energy for the development of an innovative award-winning bipolar battery design.
