Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium iron phosphate(LiFePO4) batteries offer users practical advantages such as lighter weight and hands-off operation. There batteries also have longer lifetimes which makes for far less frequent battery replacements and service calls. But many first-time buyers of Lifepo4 batteries wonder if their higher purchase price compared to Lead-acid batteries makes sense in terms of total cost of ownership. Is Lifepo4 really more expensive than lead-acid?

Here is a form, it help you to figure out how much a lead acid battery and lifepo4 battery cost for a period of time.

Based on the estimated lifetime of the system, the lead-acid battery solution-based must be replaced many times. Lithium-Ion solution-based is not replaced during operation (5000 cycles are expected from the battery at 80% DoD cycles) Also , the costs of delivery and installation have to be calculated.

From this comparsion, we can see the upfront cost of lithium deep cycle battery is higher than a lead acid equivalent. But when you divide that cost of the life of the battery, LIFEPO4 battery is already cheaper than a lead acid battery. When you factor in the cost and time associated with changing the batteries, you really save a bundle when you decide to install lithium iron phosphate battery. At 3000 cycles most people will have these batteries for 10 to 15 years. So, Lifepo4 battery solution is much more cost-effective in long-term consideration.

Eleart’s long-lived LiFePO4 batteries reduce the inconvenience and expense of replacements and service calls, and they lend peace of mind to many users when it comes to demanding applications.
