What are the differences between lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries

2023-04-12

There are many types of lithium batteries at present, and different lithium batteries have different functions. For example, the batteries we often see include lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, 18650 lithium batteries, etc. The differences between different batteries are also various, so what should we do? to identify them. Today, let's take a look at the difference between lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries.
Regarding the difference between lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries, let's first compare them in terms of durability. Lead-acid batteries are generally deep charged and deep discharged within 400 times, have memory, and have a service life of about two years. The durability of lithium batteries is stronger than that of lead-acid batteries, and the consumption is also very slow. It can be deeply charged and discharged more than 500 times, and it still has no memory. The general life expectancy is basically about 4 to 5 years.
Next is the comparison of volume and quality. Most lead-acid batteries are relatively large. The weight is generally 16-30 kg. On the contrary, the weight of lithium batteries is generally much lighter than that of lead-acid batteries, most of which are around 2.5-3 kg. And it's very small. It is very convenient to carry. There is pollution in the process of manufacturing lead-acid batteries, which is a great harm to environmental protection. Lithium batteries are relatively more environmentally friendly.
The performance of the two batteries is the same 48-volt battery. When fully charged, electric vehicles with lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries can travel 30-40 kilometers, and there is not much difference. The speed again depends mainly on the size of the motor used.
Finally, in terms of price, combined with various performances of lithium batteries, they have advantages over lead-acid batteries in all aspects, but the price will be slightly higher than that of lead-acid batteries. This is also inevitable.
