Despite the higher upfront cost of lithium-ion batteries, the true cost of ownership is far less than lead-acid when considering life span and performance.
Changing batteries less often means fewer replacement and labor costs. These savings make lithium batteries a more valuable long-term investment than lead-acid batteries.
The table below compares the total cost of ownership of RELiON’s RB100, a 12V 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery, to three equivalent size (BCI Group 31) off-the-shelf lead-acid battery technologies. Using measured lifetimes taken from the manufacturer’s published specifications of each battery, our analysis shows that the RB100 costs at least 51% less over life than even the most cost-effective lead-acid battery.
Lithium-ion batteries out-perform lead-acid batteries and cost less over time. RELiON LiFePO4 batteries deliver more power and longer life in a lightweight, maintenance-free package. BCI-standard sizes are available for many types of applications.
