The reasons for the higher price of 12V lithium batteries can be boiled down to several aspects, and here are some of the main ones:
Cell quality and safety
High-quality 12V lithium batteries tend to use high-quality cells, such as ternary lithium batteries, which have higher energy density and longer cycle life, but the cost is also relatively high.
The source channel of the battery cells will also affect the price, and batteries that use imported cells are usually more expensive than those that use domestic batteries.
The grade of the battery cell (such as A, B, C) will also affect the price, and the price of high-quality cells is higher.
Protection Board Quality and Circuit Design
High-quality 12V lithium batteries use high-quality electronic components and protection boards, as well as multiple protection circuit designs, such as constant temperature and constant voltage, overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and other protection mechanisms, these designs and materials have increased the cost.
Differences in shell materials
Some high-quality 12V lithium batteries use shells made of high-grade materials such as PC+ABS, which not only have good heat dissipation performance, but are also more durable and durable, but the cost is also correspondingly higher.
Brand & Manufacturing Process
Well-known brands tend to pay more attention to the quality and reliability of their products, and adopt more advanced manufacturing processes and technologies, which will increase the cost of products.
Market demand and supply and demand
If the demand for 12V lithium batteries in the market is greater than the supply, the price will rise accordingly.
Investment in technology R&D and innovation
R&D and innovation of lithium batteries require a large investment of capital, and these costs will eventually be reflected in the price of the product.
Environmental and regulatory requirements
With the improvement of environmental awareness and the improvement of relevant regulations, the production and recycling of lithium batteries need to meet higher environmental protection requirements, which will also increase the cost of products.
In summary, the reasons for the high price of 12V lithium batteries mainly include the requirements of cell quality and safety, the quality of protection boards and the complexity of circuit design, the difference of shell materials, the influence of brands and manufacturing processes, market demand and supply and demand, technology research and development and innovation investment, environmental protection and regulatory requirements. The combination of these factors has led to the relatively high price of 12V lithium batteries.
