Lightweight
Traditional lead-acid batteries are relatively large, and the overall vehicle weight is relatively heavier. Lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, are not only smaller, but also make the vehicle lighter, giving them a significant advantage in terms of portability compared to lead-acid batteries.
Service life
Lithium-ion batteries can typically be fully charged and discharged up to 500 times, while lead-acid batteries can only be fully charged and discharged about 350 times. This means that the lifespan of lithium-ion batteries is about 1.5 times that of lead-acid batteries, which indicates that electric vehicles powered by lithium-ion batteries have a longer lifespan than those powered by lead-acid batteries.
Battery price
Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than lead-acid batteries. Therefore, electric vehicles using lead-acid batteries of the same size are significantly cheaper than those using lithium-ion batteries. From this perspective, lead-acid battery electric vehicles have a greater advantage.
stability
From this perspective, lead-acid electric vehicles also have an advantage. Compared to lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid battery technology is relatively mature and more stable, which means that lead-acid electric vehicles are also safer.
After-sales costs
As we all know, electric vehicle batteries have a limited lifespan and therefore need to be replaced periodically. Lead-acid batteries are significantly cheaper than lithium-ion batteries, and their replacement cost is also lower. From this perspective, lead-acid electric vehicles have a clear advantage.
