Is it better to buy lithium batteries or lead-acid batteries?

There are advantages and disadvantages to purchasing lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries. Here are some comparisons. You can choose according to your specific needs: performance Battery life: Generally speaking, lithium batteries have a longer battery life. Under the same volume or weight, lithium batteries have a higher energy density, can provide more power, and have a relatively longer range. For example, in electric bicycles, models using lithium batteries typically have a longer range than those using lead-acid batteries. If you have high requirements for the range of your device, lithium batteries may be more suitable. Battery cycle life The service life of lithium batteries is usually longer than that of lead-acid batteries. Under normal use, the charging and discharging cycles of lithium batteries can reach over a thousand times, while the charging and discharging cycles of lead-acid batteries are generally around 300-500 times. If you want a longer battery life and lower replacement frequency, lithium batteries are a better choice. The internal structure of lead-acid batteries is relatively simple, with relatively stable chemical properties, and the probability of dangerous situations such as explosions is low. If the protection circuit design of lithium batteries is unreasonable or used improperly, it may cause problems such as spontaneous combustion. But lithium batteries produced by legitimate manufacturers have complete protective measures, and as long as they are used correctly, their safety is guaranteed. Volume and weight Lithium batteries are small in size and light in weight, which is crucial for scenarios that have strict requirements for device weight and volume, such as portable electronic devices, electric bicycles, etc. In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a larger volume and heavier weight, making them less suitable for situations that require higher portability. Environmental protection Lithium batteries have more advantages in terms of environmental protection. Lithium batteries do not contain toxic and harmful heavy metal elements such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc., and their pollution to the environment during production, use, and disposal is relatively small. Lead acid batteries contain heavy metals such as lead, which can pollute the environment if not handled properly. In summary, if you are concerned about range, service life, safety, portability, and environmental friendliness, then the BTR lithium battery is a better choice. As a large lithium battery manufacturer, BTR has 27 years of research and development technology in lithium-ion batteries. Whether it is high-capacity lithium batteries, wide temperature lithium batteries, high rate lithium batteries, etc., we can customize different types and specifications of lithium battery products according to customer needs.
