READ MORE5 · This is one battle in the lithium vs. lead acid war that has an undeniable winner. A lead acid battery''s packaging will state how long it''s rated to last. Usually it''s a measly 400 cycles or so. Compare that to 3,000-5,000 partial cycles for lithium. Translated to years, it''s 2-6 for lead acid and at least 10 for lithium.
READ MOREFinally, lithium batteries have a longer lifespan than lead-acid batteries. Lithium batteries can last up to 10 years or more, while lead-acid batteries typically last between 3-5 years. This means that over time, lithium batteries can be a more cost-effective option, as they will need to be replaced less frequently.
READ MORELead Acid Batteries, on the other hand, require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The electrolyte in Lead Acid Batteries can evaporate over time, leading to a decrease in battery capacity. To counter this, distilled water needs to be added periodically to maintain the proper electrolyte level.
