What are the advantages of replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries

In the past, most of our electric tool equipment used lead-acid batteries, but with the development and iteration of technology, lithium batteries have gradually become the equipment for electric tool equipment today. Even many devices that previously used lead-acid batteries have begun to use lithium batteries to replace lead-acid batteries. Why replace lead-acid batteries with lithium batteries?

This is because current lithium batteries have more obvious advantages compared to traditional lead-acid batteries:

1. Under the same battery capacity specifications, lithium batteries have a smaller volume, approximately 40% smaller than lead-acid batteries. This can reduce the size of the tools, increase the load-bearing capacity of the machinery, or increase the amount of batteries to increase storage capacity. Currently, with the same capacity and size of lithium-ion lead-acid batteries, the temporary volume of the cells in the battery box is only about 60%, which means there is still about 40% empty;

2. Under the same storage conditions, the storage life of lithium batteries is longer, about 3-8 times that of lead-acid batteries. The storage time for new lead-acid batteries is generally around March, while lithium batteries can be stored for 1-2 years. The storage time for traditional lead-acid batteries is much longer than that of current lithium batteries;

3. Under the same battery capacity specifications, lithium batteries are lighter, about 40% lighter than lead-acid batteries. In this way, electric tools are more lightweight, the weight of mechanical equipment is reduced, and its power is increased;

4. In the same battery usage environment, the number of charging and discharging cycles of lithium batteries is about 10 times that of lead-acid batteries. Generally speaking, the cycle times of traditional lead-acid batteries are about 500-1000 times, while the cycle times of lithium batteries can reach about 6000 times, which means that one lithium battery is equivalent to 10 lead-acid batteries.

Although lithium batteries are slightly more expensive compared to lead-acid batteries, there are advantages and reasons why more people will use lithium instead of lead batteries. So if you understand the advantages of lithium batteries over traditional lead-acid batteries, would you use lithium batteries to replace old lead-acid batteries?
