Li-ion Vs Lead-Acid batteries, which one is better?

 

Lead-Acid:
Cheaper but shorter life , higher weight , and high toxicity

Li-ion:
longer life ,less weight , and low toxicity but the cost is higher


So, go for Lithium-ion , if the cost difference is not a problem for you.

Note that:
- in some applications like drones ,electric vehicles, e-bikes the weight is an important constrain.

 

Lead-acid battery is a tried-and-true technology that costs less, but requires regular maintenance and doesn’t last as long.

Li-ion battery is a premium battery technology with a longer lifespan and higher efficiency, but you’ll pay more money for the boost in performance.

Personally, going for the more durable battery is the best option but it all depends on what you need the battery for.
