BCI Battery

The Battery Council International (BCI) is a trade association of manufacturers of original-equipment and after-market automobile batteries and other lead-acid batteries. It promotes the recycling of lead-acid batteries, and claims that almost all car batteries are eventually recycled.

Lead-Acid Battery Technology History.

Over its more than 150 year history, lead-acid battery technology has achieved superior safety and reliability. These characteristics have made it the most commonly used technology in rechargeable batteries, for the widest range of applications. Lead-acid batteries have demonstrated the safest and most reliable track record of any power storage solution in use today.


While the lead-acid battery industry is the world’s largest consumer of lead, air emissions of lead from lead battery production are less than 1% of total U.S. lead emissions.
