Compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion technology can save substantial time and money through increased efficiency, superior productivity and a lower total cost of ownership. Lithium-ion battery packs are sealed units with no watering or battery change-outs required and can be safer than lead-acid batteries. During charging, they avoid exposure to harmful acid and vapors and eliminate the need for expensive ventilation systems. During use, the battery management system measures individual cell temperature and voltage while providing deep-discharge, short circuit and overcharge protections.
