Alongside wet cell tubular batteries, lithium inverter batteries just like its relative dry cell maintenance-free batteries (Gel and AGM batteries), have carved up a strong reputation for themselves in the world of energy storage.
Lithium batteries are known for their high energy density. While a battery bank of tubular and other dry cell batteries takes up space and might be a source of concern where room is limited, lithium batteries can store a large amount of energy in a relatively small package.
Just like tubular batteries, lithium batteries have a long lifespan and a high number of charge-discharge cycles. However, care must be taken to buy from a reputable brand.
Lithium batteries can be charged at a much faster rate and is very suitable in Nigeria where power supply is erratic. They also have high charge and discharge efficiency, a higher number of charge cycles, and a better depth of discharge (DoD).
A battery’s charge cycle is the number of times the battery will be discharged and charged up during its lifespan. Depth of discharge (DoD) is the degree to which a battery can be drained at a time without damaging its cells.
Tubular Battery (Wet Cell) Vs Lithium Battery: Which Is Better?
A major advantage of lithium batteries over tubular batteries (also known as wet cell batteries) is that lithium batteries are maintenance-free, while tubular batteries require the recommended distilled water to be above the recommended level as seen on the gauge.
However, tubular batteries are cheaper than lithium batteries.
So if you have that extra space and do not care about some little rust and spills, then tubular batteries can win you over. But if you are space-conscious and want a fancy-looking and energy-packed single power bank, say hello lithium!
