Lithium Battery Benefits
Allow us show you why upgrading to Lithium batteries will save you money. Lithium batteries are a genuine technology revolution and will continue to replace lead-acid batteries. Some of the reasons why it’s considering whether Lithium batteries could be right for you.
- No maintenance required, compared to lead-acids which require water to be added regularly and suffer from terminal corrosion and permanent damage if discharged too far.
- Shorter Charge times, saving you money on electricity and down-time.
- Reduced installation time and cost with single drop in power pack compared to 6 or 8 lead-acid batteries.
- Longer life cycle, Lithiums in some cases lasting well over 10 years (results vary based on application), compared to lead-acid lasting 4-5 years, less if not correctly maintained.
Here we compare a 48V Golf Cart with 6 x Lead-Acid Batteries to a single drop-in 80ah LiFePO4 replacement battery pack.
