  • Battery weight matters every time you ride. A lighter battery puts less strain on your vehicle and gives you more control.

  • Lithium batteries hold more energy for their size. You get more power without adding extra weight.

Battery Type

Weight Comparison

Lithium (LiFePO4)

About 1/3 to 1/4 of lead-acid

Lead-Acid

Heavier, adds more weight

 

TYKOOL’s lithium battery technology works well in cold weather. You can trust your ride to start even when it is cold. The YTX4L-BS-PRO and YTX14AHL-BS Snowmobile Battery keep you moving in tough weather. You get steady performance, no matter the season.

 

Lifespan and Durability

 

You want a battery that lasts a long time. Lithium batteries for powersports last much longer than lead-acid batteries. TYKOOL’s lithium battery can last up to five times longer than a regular lead-acid battery. You save money and do not have to replace your battery as often.

 

  • Lithium batteries can reach up to 2,000 charge cycles. Lead-acid batteries usually last only 200-300 cycles.

  • In good conditions, a lithium battery can last 8 to 10 years. Lead-acid batteries often need to be replaced after just 2.5 to 3 years.

Lead Acid Batteries vs. Lithium-Ion Batteries

 

Maintenance and Safety

 

You want a battery that is easy to use. Lead acid batteries need you to check them often. You have to clean the terminals and check the water inside. You also need to make sure the wires are tight. If you forget, your battery might stop working or get damaged. Lithium-ion batteries are much easier to care for. You do not need to add water or check anything inside. TYKOOL’s lithium battery has a smart Battery Management System (BMS). This system stops overcharging and too much current. It also protects from deep discharge. Your battery stays safe and balanced every day.

 

Feature

Lithium-Ion Batteries

Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Batteries

Maintenance

Maintenance-free, no need for watering

Maintenance-free, no need for watering

Lifespan

2-3 times longer than SLA

Shorter lifespan, needs more frequent replacement

Weight

Lighter and more compact

Heavier and bulkier

Charging Speed

Faster charging time

Slower charging time

Cold Weather Performance

Slightly better performance

More forgiving in cold weather charging

Monitoring

Requires Battery Management System (BMS)

No special monitoring required

Availability

Less common in stores

Readily available in many stores

 

Lithium-ion batteries have extra safety features:

  • Battery Management System (BMS)

  • Overcurrent protection

  • Low voltage protection

  • Thermal regulation

 

You can feel safe every time you ride.

 

Environmental Impact

 

You want to help the planet. Lead acid batteries have lead inside. Lead can hurt the soil and water if not thrown away right. This can be bad for people and animals. Lithium-ion batteries do not have lead. They are safer for the earth. They last longer, so you throw away fewer batteries. This means less trash and a smaller carbon footprint.

 

Aspect

Lead-Acid Batteries

Lithium-Ion Batteries

Toxicity

Contains toxic lead, posing health risks and environmental contamination.

No lead content, significantly reducing environmental hazards.

Recycling Issues

Improper disposal and informal recycling lead to higher contamination levels.

Comparable recycling rates, but less frequent processing due to longer lifecycle.

Environmental Footprint

Higher carbon emissions and energy use due to heavier weight and shorter lifecycle.

Lower carbon emissions and energy use, with a longer lifecycle reducing waste.

Fire Hazards

Prone to fires, releasing pollutants and posing health risks.

Less prone to fires, reducing air quality issues.

 

Cost Over Time

 

You want to save money. Lead acid batteries cost less at first. But you have to buy new ones more often. Lithium-ion batteries last much longer. You do not need to replace them as much. You also spend less time on battery maintenance. Over time, you save more money. TYKOOL’s lithium battery gives you more power and lasts longer. You spend less and get to ride more. Pick a TYKOOL YTX20CH-BS ATV Battery for a smart choice for your vehicle.

 

 

You get more out of every ride with a TYKOOL lithium battery. You do not need to do maintenance. The battery is lighter and does not make pollution. TYKOOL’s lithium batteries last a long time and charge quickly.
