What to Consider When Choosing a Battery Power Source for Your Equipment.

The world is changing and batteries are changing the way we use power. It’s time to leverage an increasingly practical, sustainable – and in-demand– power source.

However, choosing the right battery pack solution for your application may feel like unfamiliar territory. There are multiple parameters to consider (voltage, safety, cycle life, capacity….) that makes the process of selecting the best battery for your equipment not an easy task.

For that reason, we’ve asked the Vanguard battery experts to break down the main differences between a lead acid battery and a lithium-ion battery.
