Why Lithium
Smaller and lighter
Weight and form factor are considered important selling points in consumer electronics and transportation domain, where heavy AGM and Lead batteries can’t solve the purpose.
High energy density
Li-ion batteries have higher energy density than other rechargeable batteries. This means having high power capacity without being bulky.
Low self-discharge
Li-ion batteries have low self-discharge rate. This means that the battery has a longer shelf life when not in used because it discharges slowly than other rechargeable batteries.
Low memory effect
Li-ion batteries have minimal memory effect. Memory effect is a phenomenon observed in rechargeable batteries in which the batteries lose their maximum energy capacity when repeated recharged after being only partially discharged.
Quick charging
Li-ion batteries are quicker to charge as compared to other rechargeable batteries.
Longer lifespan
Li-ion batteries can typically handle hundreds of charge-discharge cycles. Some lithium ion batteries lose only 20 percent of their capacity after 1000 cycles.
Environment Friendly
Li-ion batteries are consider much more environment friendly, as compared to Lead acid battery.
Maintenance Free
Flooded lead acid batteries must be periodically topped off with distilled water, whereas Li-ion batteries are 100% Maintenance Free.
