Lithium Batteries: The Better Alternative to Lead-Acid Batteries

In 2014, lead-acid batteries accounted for more than 70% of the battery market and were widely used in communication equipment, backup power supplies, and solar energy systems. However, due to their high maintenance costs, short battery life, and significant environmental pollution, they are gradually being replaced by lithium batteries.

It is estimated that the market share of lithium-ion batteries will surpass that of lead-acid batteries by 2025. Among them, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are particularly promising. With a nominal voltage of 3.2V, the combined voltage of LFP batteries is the same as that of lead-acid batteries, making them an ideal drop-in replacement.

At the same volume, LFP batteries offer higher energy density and are much lighter in weight. This makes them the best alternative for applications demanding efficiency, reliability, and environmental responsibility.
