Lead-Acid Batteries

Lead-Acid Batteries

Lead-acid batteries are the oldest type still found in some low-cost or older electric scooters. They’re heavy, bulky, and slower to charge, but relatively cheap to produce. They have lower energy density, meaning less range and more weight for the same power. They’re best suited for budget or stationary applications, not long-distance riding.

• ✅ Affordable and easy to source
• ⚠️ Very heavy and large
• ⚠️ Short lifespan and slow charging
• ⚠️ Limited range compared to lithium type
