LONG SERVICE LIFE

A Voltphreaks battery has an extremely long service life, lasting much longer than a comparable lead-acid battery, which helps to offset the higher initial cost of a lithium battery versus a lead-acid battery.

For example, a typical lead-acid battery can be charged and discharged 300 times, after which the battery must be replaced.

A Voltphreaks battery can be charged and discharged over 2000 times! After 2000 charge/discharge cycles, capacity and power will be reduced, but the battery can still continue to be used.

Typically, you can expect a Voltphreaks battery to last 3 to 4 times as long as the lead-acid battery it's replacing, and 5-10 years or more. The chart below shows the cycle life at 100% DOD (depth of discharge), meaning how many times the battery can be discharged to empty and charged to full.

It is common for racing teams to replace batteries yearly (Le Mans, Daytona Prototypes, etc). If your normal replacement cycle is one year (one racing season), you can safely increase that to 3-5 years or more by using a Voltphreaks battery. This results in money saved and less waste over time.
