The Advantages of UPS with Lithium-ion over Lead Acid Batteries
- High Energy Density: Li-ion batteries have a higher energy density than lead-acid batteries and can store more energy in a smaller space.
- High Energy Efficiency: Li-ion batteries are more efficient than lead-acid batteries and can deliver more energy per unit of weight
- Self-discharge: Li-ion batteries have a lower self-discharge than lead-acid batteries and lose less energy when not in use
- Lighter: Li-ion batteries are lighter than lead-acid batteries and are easier to transport and install
- Greater Operational Flexibility: Lithium-ion batteries can operate in a wider temperature range than lead-acid batteries.
- Higher Working Voltage: Li-ion batteries have a higher working voltage than lead-acid batteries and can deliver more energy per unit of volume.
- Longer Working Life: Li-ion batteries have a longer life than lead-acid batteries
- Higher Life Cycles: Li-ion batteries have a longer life cycle than lead-acid batteries and can be discharged and recharged more times with less loss of capacity
- Working Temperature: Li-ion batteries can operate in a wider range of temperatures than lead-acid batteries
