Lead Acid Battery

Advantages:

The stability and safety factor of lead-acid battery are higher, the impact of temperature on battery life is relatively small, the manufacturing cost of lead-acid battery is lower, the price is relatively cheap, and in the maintenance level, the maintenance of lead-acid battery is relatively convenient.


Disadvantages:

The volume and weight of lead-acid battery is large, so it is not convenient to carry and extract, especially the large capacity battery can only be charged safely in the battery compartment. Compared with lithium batteries, the service life of lead-acid batteries is shorter. Most brands have a service life of about 2 years, and some batteries can be used for 3 years.


Lithium Battery

Advantages:

The battery is small and light. The lithium battery of the same size has higher capacity and stronger endurance than the lead-acid battery. The service life of lithium batteries is longer. Compared with lead-acid batteries, the service life of lithium batteries is one or two years longer.


Disadvantages:

The price of lithium battery is relatively expensive, and the lithium battery with the same capacity and endurance is more expensive than the lead-acid battery. In addition, it is impossible to replace the old and new batteries after reaching the service life, which virtually increases the use cost. It is relatively sensitive to the weather and temperature. The low temperature in winter is not very friendly to lithium batteries, so the battery life will be greatly reduced. Safety factor and stability, such as lead-acid batteries.
