Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Gel batteries are the latest advancements in lead-acid battery technology. . The lead-acid (PbA) battery was invented by Gaston Planté more than 160 years ago and it was the first ever rechargeable battery. In the charged state, the positive electrode is lead dioxide (PbO2) and the negative electrode is metallic lead (Pb); upon discharge in the sulfuric acid electrolyte. . The lead acid battery has been a dominant device in large-scale energy storage systems since its invention in 1859. It has been the most successful commercialized aqueous electrochemical energy storage system ever since. While they face competition from newer battery technologies such as lithium-ion, lead-acid. .
