Lead Acid v. Lithium Battery: Which is Better? A Look at Battery Lifespan & Maintenance Video
John Schaeffer, President and Founder at Real Goods, explains the differences between lead acid and SimpliPhi lithium iron phosphate batteries & why he ended up choosing SimpliPhi. “Choosing the batteries was critically important. For 18 years we had some flooded lead acid batteries, which did their job for 18 years longer than you'd expect them, but there was a lot of maintenance. I had to remember to water them every month, I had to remember to clean the terminals every year, I had to put on the gloves and bring out the baking soda and all of the work it entails with lead acid batteries.
These [SimpliPhi] batteries are maintenance-free, will never be any water change. These [SimpliPhi] batteries have a 10,000 cycle life. If you do like I do, one cycle a day, that's 27 years of use out of these batteries. I'll be 105 years old before I have to replace these. We'll see who outlasts who. If you ask me, the best battery on the market today for just about all renewable energy uses is the SimpliPhi battery.”
