Only on the basis of a sound analysis of the application profile can a reliable statement be made about the optimum energy package. These include, for example, operating procedures, shift models, intermediate charging options, grid connection capacities and local conditions. There is no one-size-fits-all answer as to which technology is better.
The economic viability of different battery technologies cannot be assessed on the basis of acquisition costs alone. A lifetime consideration such as Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), on the other hand, is a suitable basis for the investment decision. Depending on the application scenario, a lithium-ion battery can pay for itself in just a few years compared to a lead-acid battery. This is mainly due to the higher number of cycles and the associated longer service life, lower maintenance costs, lower operating costs and better vehicle availability.
– Higher energy density: same performance with a smaller installation space
– Emission-free: no separate loading space with ventilation required and no explosion hazard due to oxyhydrogen gas
– Constant power: Reliably high power even when no longer fully charged
– Ease of use: No water filling and battery change necessary
– Energy efficiency: Higher efficiency of the technology
– Decentralized charging management: fast and intermediate charging for maximum vehicle availability
– Lifetime: Multiple number of cycles
