When compared directly to lead acid batteries, it’s not hard to see that lithium batteries are a superior option for solar energy systems.
• 1 lb of lithium is 3 to 4 times more powerful than 1 lb of lead-acid.
• Amp-hour for amp-hour, lithium is 3-4 times lighter than lead acid
• Lithium batteries have 6-8 times longer life than lead acid
• Solar charge acceptance is 98% for lithium batteries vs. 36% for lead-acid batteries
• Lithium batteries maintain 75% of its energy after 1 year without use, vs. near zero for lead-acid
• Lithium batteries have a higher initial cost, but significantly lower cost of ownership
• Lithium batteries are much safer than lead-acid batteries with ventilation required
