Though the low internal resistance and high energy-to-weight ratios are advantages that make lead acid batteries favorable in automobiles, there are also numerous disadvantages. The main ones include sulfation, risk of exploding under certain conditions, and environmental issues. Sulfation occurs when the battery is old or stays discharged for long enough. The negative cathode becomes coated with a layer of sulfur which reduces the effectiveness of the battery, often preventing it from holding charges and supplying the power needed. This is one of the main causes of car batteries needing to be replaced.
Gasses build up inside of the battery as some of the water in the battery is electrolyzed. In the event that the vents are blocked, a single spark can cause the battery to burst and possibly cause injury. This is quite rare because the water is mainly electrolyzed when the battery is overcharged. Lead acid batteries also contain lead which is known to cause reproductive harm, brain damage, and other environmental problems. Leaking batteries or batteries that have not been properly disposed of are a serious risk because lead dust can be inhaled and cause damage especially to children who are still developing.
As long as the battery is well maintained and disposed of properly, the benefits of this strong and cheap battery outweigh the disadvantages.

Which is a disadvantage of rechargeable batteries?
Rechargeable batteries oftenomst have FAR shorter battery life than non-rechargeable(some instances about 25 times less).
What products do Rayovac make?
Rayovac makes non-rechargeable alkaline batteries ranging from triple-A to nine volt batteries, as well as rechargeable alkaline batteries and rechargeable NiMH batteries. Rayovac also makes specialty batteries such as those for hearing aids.
How do non rechargeable batteries works?
The same way rechargeable batteries workS. Anode, cathode, electrolyte, difference in charges, flow of electrons. The only difference is when you are done with non rechargable batteries, you throw them away.
Can you Use Regular Batteries In Inwood Solar Lights?
I would strongly suggest the use of rechargeable batteries over conventional batteries. Non rechargeable batteries could "explode" during recharging. Any rechargeable battery will work if they are the same voltage.
Can you recharge non rechargeable batteries in xbox 360?
No you can not. it says it's non-rechargable anyways!
How do you recharge cr1616 batteries?
You don't. These are disposable non-rechargeable cells. Neil
Are double A batteries rechargeable?
Only batteries that are marked "Rechargeable" are rechargeable. Are others are single use.
Are rechargeable batteries worth the cost?
Rechargeable batteries are worth the cost. Let's do the math. A pack of 12 Duracell AA batteries cost around $10-$12. Meanwhile a 4 pack of Duracell AA rechargeable's and a charger is around $15 dollars. A rechargeable battery can usually be recharged 30-50 times. This means for three dollars more you basically get 120-200 batteries. Basic math shows that 120 batteries for $15 (rechargeable) than to pay $120 (non-rechargeable).
What are rechargeable car batteries?
a car battery that can be recharged. All automobile batteries are rechargeable.
5 advantages and 5 disadvantages of wet and dry cell batteries?
Alkaline batteries use a different electroyte, and last five to eight times as long as long as zinc carbon cells Wet cell batteries are rechargeable, but require a charger and can suffer from the memory effect. They also can contain harmful chemicals. Dry cell batteries are non-rechargeable but often last longer than one charged wet cell.
What type of rechargeable batteries are the most reliable?
The most type of rechargable batteries are Duracell and Energizer. They have some good rechargeable batteries. Energizer just came out with two good new rechargeable batteries.
