Ni-Cad or Lead acid battery
Ni-Cad or Lead acid battery
(OP)
We are in the process of choosing the battery for ac and dc ups. Our client is a Eroupen company which dictates the battery types. They object to SRA or VRLA type of battery. They only accept vented Lead acid or Ni-cad battery. This plant will be built in North America. NiCad battery manufacturer is not available locally. No recycling facility for Large Ni-CAD Battery in North America. I am trying to get some expert opinions about Vented Lead acid and VRLA (SLA). Any inputs would be appreiated.

As for the Ni-Cad, beware of not just the upfront cost but what it will cost to dispose of these batteries at end of life. I'm in Australia, and the last time I needed to get rid of a bank of these they needed to be shipped to New Zealand for recycling, and the cost was exhorbitant.

Disposal costs in the UK are such that Ni-Cads can be disposed of for a nominal cost, if you shop around, and lead-acid cells are collected free-of-charge.
