Technology / Why Lithium
There are many lithium batteries on the market, and the more common lithium batteries on the market now are divided into lithium iron phosphate lithium batteries and ternary lithium batteries. Now, most passenger electric vehicles will choose lithium batteries, the main reason is that lithium batteries have higher requirements for safety performance, but also higher requirements for range.
We all know that the chemical properties of lithium metal are very active, the use of lithium metal processing, preservation, use, the requirements of the environment is very high. So lithium batteries have not been used for a long time. With the development of electronic technology now, miniaturized devices are increasing, putting high demands on the power supply. Now lithium batteries are also entering the stage of large-scale use.
Whether we look at the volume or capacity from the lithium battery is much better. From the point of view of use, the service life of lithium batteries is more than three times higher than the service life of lead-acid batteries, lead-acid batteries are generally about 3/4 years, while the service life of lithium batteries is generally about 8/10. Compared to the price of lithium batteries, then the price of lead-acid batteries is also cheaper and can be repaired to continue the service life.
Although the cost of lithium batteries is much higher than the price of lead-acid batteries, from the long-term view of maintenance costs, lithium batteries are much better than lead-acid batteries.
We all disagree on the safety performance of the battery, some people will feel that the safety performance of lead-acid batteries than lithium batteries, but some people feel that lithium batteries to be better than lead-acid electromagnetic, this depends on personal views. I think lithium batteries will be much better than lead-acid batteries, whether, in terms of safety performance or weight, lithium batteries have an advantage over lead-acid batteries.
