There are two battery lifespans that a car owner probably knows best: the 2-3 year lifespan of a smartphone lithium-ion battery and the 3-5 year lifespan of the conventional lead-acid battery in an ICE vehicle. It all comes down to the technology. Some are even covered for longer periods of time/distance.

For reference, a typical lead acid battery can survive 500-800 cycles while 2,800 cycles is almost 8 years of use assuming one cycle a day. They are usually delivery vehicles working within a neighborhood, and are on the road for 6-8 hour a day and are recharged overnight. The USCAR/DOE long term goal is 5,000 cycles.

For small batteries, the team notes, conventional diffusion-based architectures are superior because the cost of the circulating pump alone would be more than the cost of the traditional diffusion-based battery. Since then, definitive data has been collected that validates increased power output and recharging capabilities.

The eminent success of electric vehicles depends on four factors: good battery systems, customer confidence, reasonable costs and, perhaps most importantly, customer convenience. Lithium, nickel metal hydrides and even advanced lead acid products are now capable of great energy storage and have strong recycle lives.
