Using the high power and small size of PowerGenix NiZn battery cells, the UP-Stealth system is a much smaller and lighter package than lead-acid equivalents. Compared to the current lead-acid standard, the PowerGenix-PSI solution is about 70% lighter, with a much longer service life and requires no maintenance.

However, Pike expects hybrid locomotives to have a strong return on investment (ROI), as a result of the ability to use low-cost batteries. Lead acid batteries cost less, weigh more, and will be used in many of the first hybrid locomotive applications. Advanced lead acid batteries will make inroads as well.

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.
