It is light weighted and is one-third the weight of lead acid batteries. It is nearly 100% efficient in both charging and discharging
as compared to lead battery which has 70% efficiency.
It completely discharges i.e. 100% as compared to 80% for lead acid. It has life cycle of 5000 times or more compared to just 400-500 cycles in lead acid.
It also maintains constant voltage throughout entire discharge cycle whereas voltage in lead acid battery drops consistently throughout its discharge cycle.
