Get StartedLead-acid batteries typically use heavy lead plates and sulfuric acid, while lithium-ion battery systems rely on lightweight lithium compounds and organic electrolytes, offering higher efficiency and energy stored. How does battery capacity compare between lead-acid and lithium-ion?
Whether you opt for lead-acid or lithium technology, our goal is to help you harness solar power effectively and take control of your energy future. As the energy landscape continues to evolve, the choice between lead-acid and lithium batteries for solar storage will likely become even more nuanced.
The LIB outperform the lead-acid batteries. Specifically, the NCA battery chemistry has the lowest climate change potential. The main reasons for this are that the LIB has a higher energy density and a longer lifetime, which means that fewer battery cells are required for the same energy demand as lead-acid batteries. Fig. 4.
Life cycle assessment of lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries is performed. Three lithium-ion battery chemistries (NCA, NMC, and LFP) are analysed. NCA battery performs better for climate change and resource utilisation. NMC battery is good in terms of acidification potential and particular matter.
In general, lead-acid batteries generate more impact due to their lower energy density, which means a higher number of lead-acid batteries are required than LIB when they supply the same demand. Among the LIB, the LFP chemistry performs worse in all impact categories except minerals and metals resource use.
Finally, for the minerals and metals resource use category, the lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP) is the best performer, 94% less than lead-acid. So, in general, the LIB are determined to be superior to the lead-acid batteries in terms of the chosen cradle-to-grave environmental impact categories.
