At present, there are many brands of electric vehicles sold on the market, and the two batteries of lead acid and lithium batteries have become the two major camps of the current electric vehicle market, and each has its own advantages. Therefore, when buying a car, the two types of battery models made everyone confused.

So, before discussing how to choose lead acid and lithium batteries, let’s first understand the difference between electric vehicles with these two batteries.

Lead acid/ Lithium battery electric vehicle difference

So, what is the difference between lead acid battery and lithium battery? Here, we have compiled the following 4 major differences so that everyone can see it at a glance.

1. Durability/battery life: lead acid batteries generally have service life of about 2 years, while lithium batteries are more durable, with a lifespan of 4-5 years; and the complete charge and discharge of lead acid batteries is generally within 300 times, while lithium batteries have full charge and discharge cycles of more than 500 times.

2. Volume mass/easy operability: is lightweight than a lithium battery with only 2.5/3 kg of lightweight body, generally the same capacity lead-acid battery weighs about 16/30 kg; not only the battery is of larger quality, but also large volume; compared with the effortless movement of lead-acid vehicles, lithium chariot is detachable, making it more convenient to ride and carry.

3. Market price/cost-performance ratio: currently has mainstream lead-acid batteries on the market for about 450 yuan, while lithium batteries are more expensive at around 1,000 yuan; the prices of the two types of batteries are different, and the prices of corresponding electric vehicles are also very different. At the same time, the warranty period of lithium batteries is 1 year longer than that of lead acid and can be insured for 2 years.

4, range/battery capacity: is also a 48V battery. When fully charged, the range of lead-acid/lithium battery electric vehicles is about the same, which depends on factors such as speed, motor size, etc. Of course, in terms of battery capacity, lead-acid batteries will be slightly larger than lithium batteries.

Of course, in addition to the above 4 key points, under the current general trend of global new energy development, compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries are relatively green and environmentally friendly in both production and recycling.

Lead acid/Lithium battery electric vehicles should be selected

See the above 4 differences, I believe everyone will find that compared with the difficult operation, bulky, and undustworthy lead acid batteries, lithium battery electric vehicles seem to have more advantages. Of course, lead-acid battery electric vehicles are cheaper. So, how to choose a lithium battery or a lead-acid battery electric vehicle?

Here, the author will suggest that everyone is "scrupulous", that is, follow your Heart to follow your heart - choose a car on demand.

First, we need to see what everyone needs. When buying a car, ask yourself what kind of car model you really need? What is the approximate budget? Want to buy a lightweight or a luxury electric car? Is it necessary to operate and multi-function electric vehicles intelligently? Commuting distance, etc.

If you are buying an electric car, considering that your usual commuting distance is relatively close, your budget is limited, and your charging is convenient, you should recommend that you choose lead-acid battery electric cars first. Because of the cheap price and good performance of lead-acid vehicles, they have always been popular among users.

On the contrary, if the daily cycling route is relatively long, the budget is sufficient, and charging is inconvenient, lithium battery electric vehicles are recommended here. Especially for female users, whoever uses lithium tram knows whether it is the convenience of removable batteries or the long battery life and durability.

In addition, when you buy an electric car, you can also decide based on your usual travel conditions. If you go to and from get off work across urban areas, have a long commute distance, or need to bring people or climb hills, you can choose a model with a large battery voltage and good stability.

In short, how to choose a lithium tram and lead-acid electric car depends on your own budget and needs. However, since the new national standard policy is introduced, electric vehicles must be registered and registered before they can ride on the road in the future, it is best to choose electric vehicles that meet the standards.
