TPPL BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

PAST & FUTURE

Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) is a well-established battery technology that is employed in a wide array of different application scenarios. As the name implies, it utilises electrodes that are of thinner construction than those employed in conventional designs (and of higher purity too). Among the many industry sectors that benefit from it are data centres, telecommunication infrastructure, public transportation, materials handling and logistics, as well as both military and commercial vehicles.

So what exactly is TPPL, and how does it fit in with the ongoing evolution of the lead-acid battery? In the following whitepaper we will look to answer these questions. Its development over the decades will be charted - going from its initial inception back at the start of the 1970s, right through to the latest innovations in this area. The advantages that can be derived from use of this technology will also be covered, and several case study examples given.
