  2. Lead cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_cycle

    Lead (Pb) is a heavy trace element and is formed by the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium. In crustal rocks, it is present as the lead sulfide mineral galena. [1] Natural sources of lead in the lead cycle include wind borne dust, volcanic outgassing, and forest fires. [2]

  4. Lead–acid battery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead–acid_battery

    The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.

  5. Lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead

    Lead (/ l ɛ d /) is a chemical element; it has symbol Pb (from Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. When freshly cut, lead is a shiny gray with a hint of blue. It tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to ...

  6. Isotopes of lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lead

    Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_discharge

    For almost all known rechargeable battery technologies, such as lead-acid batteries of all kinds like AGM, there is a correlation between the depth of discharge and the cycle life of the battery. [10] For LiFePO

    A 12V VRLA battery, typically used in small uninterruptible power supplies and emergency lamps. A valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) battery, commonly known as a sealed lead–acid (SLA) battery, [1] is a type of lead–acid battery characterized by a limited amount of electrolyte ("starved" electrolyte) absorbed in a plate separator or formed into a gel; proportioning of the negative and ...
