---|---|---|---|---|---|
Li-ion (Lithium-ion) | High | 500β1000 | Light | Widely used, fast charging | Heat sensitive, relatively expensive |
LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) | Medium | 2000β5000 | Heavier | Very safe, long lifespan | Lower energy density |
NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) | Very High | 1000β2000 | Light | Efficient, popular in EVs | Expensive, less stable at high temps |
Lead-Acid | Low | 300β500 | Very Heavy | Cheap, reliable | Short lifespan, slow charging |
