What Is a Lithium Battery?

Lithium batteries are a great option if you’re looking for a more efficient, longer-lasting battery and don’t have the space or budget to install a solar system. Lithium batteries have a higher warrantied lifespan, averaging around 10 years or 10,000 cycles. That’s compared to around 5 years for lead-acid. They also have a higher energy density, meaning they can store more power in the same space. These properties allow lithium batteries to be portable, such as a lithium car battery.

Lithium-ion batteries are excellent for residential applications when space is limited, especially if solar is the primary power source. They offer a higher depth of discharge, meaning that you can use more of the energy stored in your lithium-ion battery compared to other kinds of batteries. Just make sure that you have the right lithium battery charger to maintain a higher lifespan so that you can go longer without the worry of replacement batteries.
