LEAD-ACID BATTERIES
What is a lead-acid battery?
The lead-acid battery is a battery that uses lead for its electrodes as the main material and sulfuric acid as the electrolyte.
Because of their reliability, affordability and ability to provide a constant power supply over a long period, these batteries are commonly used in a variety of fields.
There are 3 types of lead-acid batteries:
- Starting battery, used to power engine starting: cars, motorcycles, trucks, boats, etc.
- Traction battery, designed to provide constant power over an extended period, used for electric material handling equipment, golf vehicles, emergency power systems, some boats, etc.
- Stationary battery, intended for fixed installation, the stationary battery is designed to store energy. It is used as a solar and wind energy storage system, for emergency power, telecommunications, etc.

How do I know if my lead-acid battery needs regenerating?
- Incomplete charge/discharge cycles;
- A high temperature;
- Too high a sulfuric acid concentration,
etc.
So, if you notice that its charging capacity has diminished, that it’s showing starting problems, or simply that it’s reached the end of its lifespan, consider having your battery regenerated.
How Be Energy regenerates your lead-acid battery
Our lead-acid battery regeneration process, involves sending controlled high-power electrical impulses which will, little by little, break up the crystalline mass formed by the lead sulfate.
The latter, in turn, will electrolyze again to reconstitute the electrodes of the battery and its sulfuric acid concentration.
Who can benefit from regenerating their lead-acid battery?
2 formulas:
Preventive regeneration
By regenerating the battery at the very beginning of its life, you ensure that you always have trucks in working order, doubling or tripling its life and reducing your purchases of new batteries.
Carried out on your premises (or at Be Energy)
Regeneration in just a few hours
Systematic monthly battery check (to limit breakdowns)
Doubled or even tripled battery life, depending on use and model
Curative regeneration
We regenerate your battery when it’s at the end of its life, so it can be used again for the same purpose, for the same lifespan, with the same warranty, and at a lower cost.
Made at the Be Energy factory
Requires several days of processing
No monthly control
Shorter battery life than with preventive regeneration
The benefits of regenerating lead-acid batteries
By having your lead-acid battery regenerated at Be Energy, you’re helping to reduce the ecological impact of our industries and safeguard our ecosystem.
1 tonne of regenerated lead battery = 3 tonnes of CO2 saved.
50% less waste
By regenerating your lead batteries, you reduce the amount of waste associated with the disposal of used batteries.
Regeneration allows you to reuse your lead-acid battery without any change of use.
50% less expensive
Lower your operating costs with regeneration.
A more economical option than buying a new battery.
Preserving natural resources
You save natural resources by avoiding the production of new batteries and the extraction of raw materials.
50 to 70 times less carbon
The manufacture of new batteries and the recycling of used ones is associated with very significant CO2 emissions. By reusing your batteries, you reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
They trusted us to regenerate their lead-acid batteries
The SAMSE group is a building materials and tools distribution group with over 6,000 employees and more than 350 sales outlets in France. A Be Energy customer for some time now, the SAMSE group has entrusted us with the regeneration of its traction batteries. https://www.samse.fr/
“We’ve been working with Be Energy for 4 years now, and we trust them completely to regenerate our traction batteries. Their technicians are serious and diligent, and we recommend them. “
