Lead-acid and lithium battery comparison

 

Lifepo4 battery:

 

  • Durability:Lifepo4 battery durability is strong, slow consumption, charging and discharging more than 1500 times, and no memory, general life in 5-8 years.

 

  • Discharge multiplier:lithium iron phosphate batteries can be high-current discharge, suitable for use in solar street lamps, electric vehicles, electricity, communications and so on.

 

  • Volume quality: lithium batteries are relatively small.

 

  • Battery capacity: the same volume of lithium battery capacity than lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid battery capacity of about 8-10A; lithium battery capacity of 20A.

 

  • No memory effect: Lifepo4 batteries in any state, can be charged with the use, without having to discharge and then charge.

 

  • Single nominal voltage: lifepo4 battery single nominal voltage: 3.2V.

 

  • Environmental protection: lithium materials without any toxic and hazardous substances, the world that the green battery, the battery in both production and use of pollution-free, become widely concerned about the hot spot of research.

 

  • Safety: Lifepo4 battery has been rigorous safety testing even in the worst traffic accidents will not produce an explosion, showing higher safety performance.

Lead-acid batteries:

 

  • Lead-acid batteries are generally deep-charged and deep-discharged within 300 times, there is memory, life expectancy is generally about one or two years. And lead-acid batteries have liquid inside, after consuming for a period of time, if you find that the battery is hot or the charging time becomes shorter, you need to replenish the liquid.

 

  • The general lead-acid battery weight, and, the volume is larger.

 

  • There is a large amount of lead in the lead-acid batteries, in the waste if not handled properly, will pollute the environment in the production process there is pollution.

 

  • Lead-acid battery single nominal voltage: 2.0V.A common lead-acid battery voltage is often 12V.
