A lithium-ion battery should be able to Las 10,000 cycles before having to be replaced. How many cycles can a lead battery go through and, after 10,000 cycles and battery replacements, which is cheaper?
Don’t you mean 1000 cycles? That is what my li-ion phone & laptop batteries are rated at. Also: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/types_of_lithium_ion
So Li-I lasts longer & costs more than lead-acid forklift/golf cart type batteries...somewhat of a “wash” situation? Anyway, what about 1910 NiFe technology?!? Interesting read, see: http://www.nickel-iron-battery.com
