With the help of this innovation and the use of lead plates, Wilhelm Josef Sinsteden invented the lead-acid accumulator. This was then improved upon in 1859 by Gaston Planté to become the lead-acid

W hen Gaston Planté invented the lead–acid battery more than 160 years ago, he could not have fore-seen it spurring a multibillion-dol-lar industry.

In the 1970s, the valve-regulated lead–acid (VRLA), or sealed, battery was developed, including modern absorbed glass mat (AGM) types, allowing operation in any position.

Single-cell lead-acid batteries powered early electrical systems, followed by rechargeable variants. However, it was the advent of lithium-ion batteries that revolutionized energy storage.

The lead battery that Gaston Planté invented in 1859, was the first ever rechargeable battery. In those early days of lead-acid battery history, they reigned supreme.

Invented by Otto Jache in the US, but commercially available only since the 1970s, the sealed or valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery is more practical in other respects, too. Overcharging a lead-acid
