Will Lead-acid Batteries Be Eliminated?

Feb 23, 2023

1. High security and stable technology
Since its birth, it has been decades of development history, and the technology has been quite mature. No matter the safety performance or stability performance, other materials of batteries can not achieve. It can be said that the popularity of electric vehicles is inseparable from the development of lead-acid batteries.
Therefore, the unique safety and stability of lead-acid batteries are destined to remain the mainstream of the electric vehicle market in the future.

 

2. Excellent price, high cost performance
Numerous market research and consumption habits show that the final choice of consumers is often determined by product prices.
Take our common 48V10Ah battery for example, the price of lithium battery pack is much higher than that of lead-acid battery, and the price of some large brands of lithium battery pack is even 3~4 times that of lead-acid battery. The price of lithium-ion electric vehicles with the same configuration is often more than 1000 yuan higher than that of lead-acid ones.
Under the condition that the performance, appearance and power of electric vehicles are the same, 95% of consumers will choose lead acid with lower price and higher cost performance.
The high density and high power lithium battery is bound to have higher technical requirements, and the extra cost can only make consumers pay. However, the fact is that when most consumers choose electric vehicles, price is the dominant factor.
Therefore, the unique high cost performance of traditional lead-acid batteries is destined to remain the mainstream of the electric vehicle market in the future.

 

3. Core advantage: complete recycling industry chain
As we all know, lead-acid batteries currently have a complete set of production-selling and recycling industrial chain. At the same time, the unique high recycling rate of waste lead-acid batteries can form stable recycling use while avoiding waste pollution of the environment, which is also an important reason why the lead-acid batteries can continue to maintain strong market vitality.

 

4. Highlight advantages: easy storage and transportation
As mentioned in the previous article, lithium battery is an "extremely active" battery, which is extremely easy to explode after severe collision. Therefore, lithium batteries have extremely strict requirements for transportation and storage conditions. Even scrapped lithium batteries still have large residual energy. During transportation, special dangerous goods vehicles are required for transportation, and insulation treatment is also required.
