Lead vs. Lithium Episode 08

06 Oct, 2020

There are currently two main options for off-grid batteries: lead acid, and lithium ion.

In this 4-minute video, we outline the pros and cons for both.

Types of batteries for off-grid installation
Lead acid batteries (pros & cons)
Lithium ion batteries (pros & cons)
Design Considerations for off-grid lithium batteries

In fact, we recommend lithium over lead acid as being the battery of choice, due to size, fewer installation compliance regulations, superior scope for upscaling, efficiency, and the advancement of technology.

What our clients say

We recently had a 5Kw system installed by Mode Electrical, the experience has been one that I could not rate highly enough. Everyone from the first phone call to the last has been a pleasure to deal with. Installation was organised in a very timely manner and completed by a very professional team with very little fuss. Since the solar system has been installed, we have noticed a dramatic fall in our electricity bills (last bill we were in credit!). We highly recommend the Mode Electrical team!
