Study sees gradual, focused replacement of lead-acid SLI batteries by Li-ion batteries over next couple of years

Green Car Congress

The Pb-acid SLI battery will still continue to be in demand for the many small and cheap ICE vehicles where cost of the battery replacement will always be the deciding factor. That will see an uptake of more hybrid-, plug-in hybrids and BEVs in the EU.

To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. electricity) to hybrid and electrical vehicles, although the cost of implementing EES is of great concern. Among the most important factors are capital cost and life-cycle cost.
