The latest issue of Best Magazine (Winter 2021 n.71) was published last week.

Among the many interesting topics, there was an article dedicated to the opinions of battery industry professionals about whether the approach to the future of the lead acid battery industry should be based on changing peoples’ about lead batteries or promoting technological developments to make them more competitive with respect to Li-ion technology. Our Customer Liaison, Maria Pia DeSimone shared CAM’S point of view, and in particular, she highlighted that:

“𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙗𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙞𝙚𝙨…”

This point is fundamental: recycling the primary element: lead, the heart of the lead acid battery. This is key to the future of this method of energy accumulation.

As of today, the lead acid battery is truly the only “green” energy accumulator: lead is 100% recyclable, and 95% of the other components, such as plastic and sulfuric acid can be salvaged. This means that the main path to an ecologically sustainable world already exists, and there is a guaranteed industry in place, regulated by international norms, already doing the work.

The second point is that we know the life cycle of lead acid batteries. We’re talking about a century old technology that has been studied and improved in international research centers. There is solid evidence and testing to back it, not guessing games and hypotheses, that differentiate it from newer technologies.

Another strong point is the competitive price, which is in reality too low with respect to other batteries.

Finally, the guarantee of lead acid batteries is backed up by strong, competent industry suppliers, some with fifty years and more of experience and research under their belts. They are more than qualified to assure high quality of the final product, and one such company is CAM, with its tried and tested CAM Method.
