Lets say you pay 250 each = £500.
You could pay $1000 for a lithium battery instead.
Lets compare the two deals.
Lead will give you 68Ah and around 40 of that is actually usable. Giving you say 15 miles range (initially), falling to 10 after say 18 months and then you replace.
So 500 div by 18 months = £27.77 per month for an average of 12.5m range.
Lithium, for £1000 gives you 120Ah of which ALL is usable. Instead of 15 miles range you now have 45 miles. 3x better!
Instead of the odyssey 400 cycles (18 months or less charged nightly) you get either 10s of thousands of cycles if you only go 15 miles. And you can charge every 2 days and yet still only use 66% discharge level. So get at least 8k charges. Thats probably going to outlive that chair, (and you). So we say a nominal 10 years plus for easy numbers.
So with lithium, you get 3x the range, all for less than one third the cost at £8.30 per month...
The realty is even better. Because even if you lost HALF the range, at say 15 years, thats still got much more than a set of brand new lead bricks! So if this is OK, then you probably keep going and its down to around £5.80 per month.
Nobody can afford lead. It performs crap. And works out 3 to 5 times more expensive with rubbish range!
