🔄 Lead-Acid to Lithium Conversion: Essential Steps and Safety Guidance

Why Convert to Lithium?

Lead-acid batteries are:

• ❌ Heavy

• ❌ Short-lived

• ❌ High-maintenance

LiFePO₄ lithium batteries are:

• ✅ Lightweight

• ✅ Long-lasting (up to 5,000 cycles)

• ✅ Maintenance-free

• ✅ Safer and more energy-efficient

📊 Lead-Acid vs Lithium: Side-by-Side Comparison

Feature	Lead-Acid	LiFePO₄ Lithium
Weight	Heavy	50–70% lighter
Cycle Life	300–500	3,000–5,000+
Usable Capacity	~50%	Up to 90%
Maintenance	Required	None
Charge Time	Slow	Fast

🛠️ Step-by-Step Conversion Guide

1. 🔋 Confirm system voltage (12V/24V/48V)

2. 🔌 Ensure your charger supports lithium profiles

3. ⚠️ Safely disconnect and remove lead-acid batteries

4. 🧰 Install lithium batteries with secure mounting

5. 🔎 Test system and confirm polarity

6. ✅ Activate BMS (Battery Management System) and run validation test

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• 🚫 Using an old lead-acid charger with lithium batteries

• 🧯 Placing batteries in poorly ventilated or hot areas

• 🔋 Over-discharging (allowing voltage to drop too low)

✅ Conclusion

Switching from lead-acid to lithium transforms your power system—lighter, longer-lasting, and more efficient.
