Electric vehicle battery selection: Which is better, lead-acid or lithium battery.

Electric vehicle battery selection: Which is better, lead-acid or lithium battery.

The new national standard for electric vehicles will be officially implemented in less than a month. The new national standard is a new challenge and a new journey for the industry. As the power source of electric vehicles, 

batteries are as important as the human heart, and their safety issues cannot be ignored. The shocking incidents of electric vehicle fires one after another are largely caused by the batteries catching fire first. The new national standard has put forward higher requirements for the safety of electric vehicles, with a vehicle weight not exceeding 55KG (including battery) and a battery voltage of 48V. These regulations also indicate that future electric vehicle batteries will mainly be low voltage and lightweight. Traditional lead-acid batteries no longer meet the requirements of the new national standard. In the upcoming era of the new national standard, replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries is the trend. 

For ordinary lead-acid batteries on the market, lithium batteries have the following ten advantages: long cycle life, good low-temperature discharge performance, strong charge retention ability, strong endurance, high energy, wide working temperature range, short charging time, high green environmental performance, high current discharge, and high current discharge does not affect the service life. When choosing lithium batteries, one should also be extremely cautious. 

Only large quantities of lithium batteries that have undergone multiple life cycles and long-term market testing are safe and reliable. At this year's electric vehicle exhibition, many car companies have released their own new national standard models. In terms of batteries, without exception, lithium batteries are used to replace traditional lead-acid batteries. It is not difficult to see that in the era of new national standards, lithium electrification of electric vehicle batteries is imperative. Meanwhile, with the rise in lead prices, the cost of lithium batteries has significantly decreased compared to lead-acid batteries, but their performance is more advantageous than lead-acid batteries. 

Driven by the dual requirements of the new national standard and cost advantages, lithium batteries are bound to become the market leader, and lithium battery electric vehicles are about to experience a major explosion. So, when buying and selecting a car, everyone must pay special attention to the battery specifications. When buying a battery model that meets the regulations, it is better to choose a lithium battery. Lithium electric vehicles not only ensure driving safety, but also have strong performance. Choosing a lithium electric vehicle model is definitely not wrong!
