Benefits of Lithium-ion Batteries
No regular maintenance or watering required
• Just keep it connected to the charger when not in use-that's all!
Lifespan is much longer than wet/flooded, AGM & AES batteries
• Lithium-ion lifespan: 5-10 years (3,500-4,000 charge cycles)• Wet/Flooded & AGM/AES lifespan: 1-2 years (200-350 charge cycles)
2-3x longer run-time than wet/flooded, AGM & AES batteries of equal amp-hours
• Run your machine for up to 2-3x longer without needing to charge
Save money on replacements & service
• Lithium-ion batteries typically "pay for themselves" within 2 years because you won't have to pay for replacements or the associated service charges as oftenAverage Battery Pack Replacements over 5 years
Side-by-side comparison chart of the total costs of each battery type over 5 years (pricing estimated for 24-volt equipment, but the cost savings for 36-volt equipment are even higher):
The estimated total cost per wet/flooded battery pack is $1,160 and needs to be replaced once a year on average. The total cost of wet/flooded batteries over 5 years is estimated to be $5,800, plus 5 times the labor and trip fees.
The estimated total cost per AGM battery pack is $2,000 and also needs to be replaced once a year on average. The total cost of AGM batteries over 5 years is estimated to be $10,000, plus 5 times the labor and trip fees.
As for AES battery packs, they cost about $2,115 but last 2-3 years and have a 3-year full-replacement warranty. Over the course of 5 years, you can expect to pay $6,345 on 3 battery packs, plus 3 times the labor and trip fees.
Lithium-ion battery packs cost about $2,500 but last 5+ years with a 5-year full-replacement warranty. Over the course of 5 years, you will only pay for 1 battery pack and the cost of labor and trip once.
Line graph showing the estimated total spent on battery pack replacements over 5 years
with each line representing a different battery type:
By year 2, the cost of AGM battery packs alone (not including labor or trip fees)
have exceeded the cost of a single lithium-ion battery pack that will last at least 5 years and by year 3,
wet/flooded and AES battery packs have also exceeded the total cost of lithium-ion.
Estimated Cost of Fleet Battery Pack Replacements Over 5 Years:
If switching your fleet of machines from wet/flooded batteries to lithium-ion, you will save up to 232%. For a fleet of 50 machines, you'd save $165,000.
If switching your fleet from AES batteries to lithium-ion, you will save up to 253.8%. For a fleet of 50 machines, you'd save $192,250.
If switching your fleet from AGM batteries to lithium-ion, you will save up to 400%. For a fleet of 50 machines, you'd save $375,000.
*Pricing is estimated for 24-volt equipment, but the cost savings for 36-volt equipment are even higher.
Extended warranty coverage
• Lithium-ion warranty coverage: 5-year full-replacement• Wet/Flooded & AGM warranty coverage: 12-month pro-rated (excl. labor and trip charges)
• AES warranty coverage: 3-year full-replacement (excl. labor & trip charges)
No risk of hazardous battery acid corrosion
• Wet/Flooded batteries are prone to battery acid leakage & corrosion
