For mobility scooters and power wheelchairs, the choice between lead acid and lithium-ion batteries significantly affects performance, weight, and usability. Lead acid batteries are heavier and have a lower energy density, making them bulkier and requiring more frequent replacements. However, they are more affordable upfront. Lithium-ion batteries, in contrast, are lighter and have a higher energy density, offering longer ranges and lifespans with less bulk, but they come at a higher initial cost. The choice between the two often comes down to balancing cost considerations with the need for performance and convenience.
