“Magnesium-ion water batteries have the potential to replace lead-acid battery in the short term – like one to three years – and to replace potentially lithium-ion battery in the long term, 5 to 10 years from now.
Table 1 shows applications of Lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries for real large-scale energy storage systems and microgrids. Lithium-ion batteries can be used in electrical systems for the integration of renewable resources, as well as for ancillary services.
A global team of researchers and industry collaborators, led by RMIT University in Melbourne, have invented recyclable “water batteries” that potentially mitigate safety concerns for large-scale grid energy.

A bank of lead-acid batteries is currently being used to store the surplus energy generated by the photovoltaic arrangement and meet the demand during the night and compensate for the intermittency and load variations of the photovoltaic generation.
Notably in the case of lead-acid batteries, these changes are related to positive plate corrosion, sulfation, loss of active mass, water loss and acid stratification. In recent decades, lead-acid batteries have dominated applications in isolated systems.
In the context of isolated microgrids, when comparing the two storage technologies under analysis, one can appreciate a clear advantage of Lithium-ion batteries, which appears to be consistent for the present and in the years to come. Depending on advances in the new lead-acid batteries—for example ultrabattery—this assessment can be revisited.
