Everyone cannot do without electric cars or bicycles. However, how to choose electric vehicles, especially lead-acid/lithium battery models? Today, let's talk about lead-acid/lithium-ion electric vehicles together. I believe everyone will understand after reading it.

At present, there are many electric vehicle brands in the market, and lead-acid and lithium batteries have become the two major camps in the current electric vehicle market, each with its own advantages. So when buying a car, the two battery models make everyone confused.

Therefore, before discussing how to choose lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries, let's first understand the differences between these two types of battery electric vehicles.

The difference between lead-acid/lithium battery electric vehicles

So, what is the difference between lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries? Here, we have compiled the following four major differences for everyone to understand at a glance.

The difference between lead-acid/lithium battery electric vehicles

1. Durability/Battery Life: Lead acid batteries generally have a lifespan of around 2 years, while lithium batteries are more durable, with a lifespan of 4-5 years; Lead acid batteries generally complete charge and discharge within 300 cycles, while lithium batteries complete charge and discharge more than 500 cycles.

2. Large size/easy operation: Compared to a lightweight body with a lithium battery of only 2.5/3kg, lead-acid batteries of the same capacity generally weigh about 16/30kg; Not only is the battery of high quality, but it also has a large volume; Compared to the laborious hassle of lead-acid cars, the detachable design of lithium batteries makes riding and transportation more convenient.

3. Market price/cost performance ratio: at present, the mainstream lead-acid battery in the market is about 450 yuan, while the price of lithium battery is about 1000 yuan. The prices of the two types of batteries are different, and the corresponding electric vehicle prices also differ significantly. At the same time, the warranty period of lithium batteries is one year longer than lead-acid batteries, and can be guaranteed for two years.

4. Range/Battery Capacity: With the same 48V battery, when fully charged, the range of lead-acid/lithium battery electric vehicles is almost the same, depending on factors such as speed and motor size. Of course, in terms of battery capacity, lead-acid batteries are slightly larger than lithium batteries.

Of course, in addition to the four key points mentioned above, in the current global trend of new energy development, lithium batteries are relatively green and environmentally friendly compared to lead-acid batteries in both production and recycling.
