The lead–acid battery Pb/H 2 SO 4 /PbO 2 [] provides a fast cell discharge at 2.0 V, it is relatively low-cost, and 98% of the batteries used in the USA are recycled. This battery has dominated the market for rechargeable batteries, but Pb is heavy and the practical energy density of the battery is only about 25% of its limited theoretical energy density (Wh/kg).
