FAA grounds US Boeing 787 Dreamliners after second incident with Li-ion battery; GS Yuasa Lithium Power the manufacturer

Green Car Congress

At the time, GS Yuasa said its Li-ion batteries offered 100% greater energy storage capacity than the existing nickel-cadmium batteries used in airliners. Since it is maintenance-free and has longer service life comparing to current nickel-cadmium batteries, it makes for lower operating costs and increased safety for airline companies.

Take a detailed look at 7 types of energy storage batteries

Setec Powerr

The advantages of lead-acid batteries are mainly: safety sealing, gas discharge system, simple maintenance, long service life, stable quality, and high reliability; the disadvantage is that the pollution of lead is significant, and the energy density is low (that is, too bulky).

How the transition from graphite to silicon anode batteries will revolutionize the EV industry

Charged EVs

Nickel-cadmium batteries from 30 or 40 years ago got replaced by nickel-metal-hydride batteries. And fairly quickly, nickel-metal-hydride got replaced by traditional lithium-ion batteries. They are lower-maintenance, they are lower-cost in many respects, depending on what features you want and so forth.
