As solar energy systems become more affordable and reliable, more homeowners are seeking efficient ways to store excess electricity. Choosing the right battery for your home energy storage system is critical. The two most common types are Lead-Acid and Lithium-Ion. But which one is right for your home?
Feature | Lead-Acid | Lithium-Ion (LiFePO4) |
---|---|---|
Cycle Life | 500–800 | 2000–6000 |
Depth of Discharge | 50% | 80–100% |
Maintenance | Required | Maintenance-Free |
Cost | Lower upfront | Higher upfront, lower long-term |
Efficiency | 70–80% | 90–98% |
Higher Energy Density: Store more power in less space
Longer Warranty & Service Life
Deeper Discharge = More Usable Capacity
Safety: LiFePO4 batteries are thermally stable and non-toxic
Off-grid cabins
Residential solar systems
Backup power for outages
Energy cost optimization (load shifting)
Wall-mounted 48V 200Ah LiFePO4 Battery – Sleek design + BMS + WiFi App Monitoring
Rack-mounted 5kWh Battery Pack – Expandable up to 40kWh
If budget is your only concern and your usage is occasional, lead-acid may suffice. But if you're planning long-term savings, deeper discharge, and cleaner tech—lithium is the way forward.
