When choosing between a lithium-ion battery like Eco Tree Lithium’s LiFePO4 batteries and a lead acid battery, most users are looking to upgrade from their traditional lead-acid batteries. Today, the debate of lead-acid vs lithium-ion is somewhat redundant, as lithium-ion batteries are generally considered the better option.
A lithium-ion battery and a lead-acid battery function using entirely different technology. A lithium-ion battery typically consists of a positive electrode (Cathode) and a negative electrode (Anode) with an electrolyte in between. A lead-acid battery, on the other hand, consists of a positive electrode (Lead Oxide) and a negative electrode (Porous Lead) dipped in an acidic solution of diluted sulphuric acid.
The combination of these two types of batteries into a hybrid storage leads to a significant reduction of phenomena unfavorable for lead–acid battery and lower the cost of the storage compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are 55% lighter than lead batteries, with a 3 KWh lithium battery weighing about 6 kg. They also have a greater energy density, which means they don’t need the same physical space as conventional lead-acid batteries. Therefore, lithium-ion technology is a better option if you want a lightweight and compact battery solution.
Lead Acid Batteries Lead-acid batteries consist of lead dioxide (PbO2) and sponge lead (Pb) plates submerged in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. The electrochemical reactions between these materials generate electrical energy.
Typically a lithium-ion battery could be anywhere from 50 to 200 percent more expensive than its lead-acid counterpart. But lithium iron phosphate batteries like the ones from Shorai are nearly the same cost. Do factor in that you will need a charger that works with lithium batteries, but any charger that does lithium will also do lead-acid.
