Advantages of lithium batteries vs lead-acid batteries

17 Oct.,2023

 

Lead Acid battery: The charging efficiency of this type of battery is low – only 75%! A lead-acid battery needs more energy for recharging than it delivers. The excess energy is used for gasification and for mixing the acid internally. This process warms up the battery and evaporates the water inside, which results in the need to top up the battery with distilled (demineralised) water.

Lead-acid recharging has severe limitations and a number of critical points. Here are the most important ones:

  • Fast or partial charges ruin a lead-acid battery
  • Charging times are long:  from 6 to 8 hours
  • The charger does not collect full information on the battery. It only checks the voltage, and that’s not enough. Changes in temperature affect the recharge profile, so if the temperature is not measured, the battery will never charge completely in winter and will gasify too much in summer
    An incorrect charger or setting reduces battery life
  • Poor maintenance will also reduce battery life

Lithium ion battery: Lithium-ion batteries can be “fast” charged to 100% of capacity.

A lithium battery saves on your electric bill, as it is up to 96% efficient and accepts both partial and rapid charging.

A lithium battery can be charged to 50% capacity in only 25 minutes.

This innovative characteristic enables our customers to equip their devices with lower installed battery capacity than the capacity required with lead-acid batteries, because lithium batteries can be recharged repeatedly over a short time

Electronic systems inside the battery control the charger effectively, so it can deliver the exact current that is consistent with internal parameters (voltage, temperature, charge level, etc …). If a customer connects an unsuitable battery charger, the battery will not activate and is thus fully protected.
