Stationary batteries come in a wide variety
of designs for different applications. They are used for
applications where power is necessary only on a standby or
emergency basis. Stationary batteries are infrequently
discharged. Stationary batteries remain on a continuous
float charge so that they can be used on demand. The largest
types of stationary batteries are those used for electrical
load leveling. Load-leveling batteries store electrical
energy for times of peak power demand and are taken off-line
during times of low power demand. Stationary batteries are
also used for backup emergency power, telecommunications
equipment, and uninterruptible power supplies. Stationary
batteries are manufactured in a variety of plate designs. An
example of a stationary battery used for backup power is
shown below.
