Install Lithium ion batteries today.
Lead acid batteries (LABs) have long been the standard for energy storage, but technological advancements have led to the development of a better and safer option in the form of lithium ion batteries and lithium iron or lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) batteries.
If you rely on lead acid batteries for backup power at your Arizona home or business, it may be time to upgrade to new, lithium ion or LFP batteries. Energy Solution Providers installs Enphase Encharge and SimpliPhi Power Batteries and can help you make the switch.
Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of LFP batteries for residential or commercial solar backup power.
Lead Acid Batteries vs Lithium Ion Batteries: What’s the Difference?
LFP batteries are a high-performance energy storage solution that offers many advantages over traditional lead acid batteries.
Lead Acid Batteries | Lithium Ferrous Phosphate Batteries |
❌ Heavy and difficult to install | ✅ Lightweight and easier to install |
❌ Made with toxic acids that can leak | ✅ Made with safe, nontoxic materials |
❌ Require regular maintenance | ✅ 100% maintenance-free |
❌ Expected to last 2-7 years | ✅ Typically comes with a 10-year warranty |
LFP Batteries Outperform LABs in Every Category
More Energy Density
The more energy-dense a solar battery is, the more backup power it can provide. For example, SimpliPhi LFP batteries are six times more energy-dense than lead acid batteries, allowing you to store more energy with fewer batteries.
Better Efficiency
Lead acid batteries waste about 20% of the energy they store through round trip efficiency losses. LFP batteries solve this problem and are around 7.5 times more efficient than LABs, so you waste less and save more.
Lower Cost
Lead acid batteries may look more affordable upfront, but they will end up costing you more in the long run. LABs are lower-performing, require ongoing maintenance, and have a shorter lifespan than LFP batteries. This limits their value and makes LFP solar batteries a smarter investment with a lower total cost of ownership.
Safer
Most LABs create caustic acids and gasses that can build up without a proper enclosure, active ventilation, and operating limits. LFP batteries, on the other hand, are nontoxic and won’t leak sulfuric acid or build up hydrogen gas, making them a much safer choice for your home or business.
