Starting-lighting-ignition batteries

SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) batteries used in automohUes. 

The introduction of the Tesla electric vehicle in 2007 with a 200 + mile range should set the stage for the transition to electric propulsion. The new cathode and anode systems also offer the potential to replace the present lead acid SLI (starting-lighting-ignition) battery on gasoline-powered vehicles. 

Industrial Consumption. The total consumption of primary antimony fell during the period from 1970 to 1986 (Table 3) because of the declining demand for antimony in most types of metallic uses. Since 1986, the demand for primary antimony in antimonial lead has increased, probably because of an increase in demand for starting—lighting—ignition (SLI) batteries. Total consumption in nonmetallic uses has remained stable. However, an increasing proportion of this is made up of flame retardant uses. Currendy, batteries and flame retardants are the two largest markets for antimony.

While EV, HEV and Fuel Cell electric vehicles receive tremendous attention, the largest worldwide reehargeable battery application is stUl the common lead acid Starting Lighting, Ignition (SLI) hattery. 

SLI Battery A battery designed to start internal combustion engines and to power the electrical systems in automobiles when the engine is not running (starting, lighting, ignition).

The world market for batteries of all types now exceeds 100 billion. Over half of this sum is accounted for by lead-acid batteries - mainly for vehicle starting, lighting and ignition (SL1), and industrial use including traction and standby power, with about one-third being devoted to primary cells and the remainder to alkaline rechargeable and specialist batteries. 

SLI batteries (starting, lighting and ignition) 100-600 Wh Cars, trucks, buses, tractors, lawn mower traction... 

SLI battery A battery of usually 12 or 24 V used for starting, lighting and ignition in vehicles with internal combustion engines. 

The latter batteries are used for such different applications as in consumer elee-tronics, in vehicles for starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) and for traction, as emergency power supplies, in load-leveling systems of electric power stations to supply peak demand, and as systems to couple with alternative energy sources.
