Why aren''t lead-acid batteries used to store power for the grid,
The design of batteries on the grid is that they would mostly discharge every night as say solar is not available. Lead acid batteries do not like full discharge. That significantly reduces its life. Lithium on the other hand will last far longer and are not damaged with full discharge. This is main reason lead acid still used in ice cars.
