Lead-acid batteries pose safety concerns due to their surplus of lead and sulfuric acid. The corrosive nature of the acid makes it a carrier for soluble lead and lead particulates, resulting in several countries categorizing lead-acid batteries as hazardous materials. Improper handling of these batteries can pose health hazards, as excessive lead exposure can lead to kidney and brain damage, hearing impairment, and various other associated health issues. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure the appropriate collection and environmentally friendly recycling of lead-acid batteries once they reach the end of their operational life.
