If you're not limited by space isn't lead-ion cheaper?

[–] dgmib@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It is, but lead based chemistries tend to wear out and need replacing a lot sooner than lithium ion.

You’re core idea is correct though, there’s a lot of battery techs that are cheaper / better when size and weight are irrelevant.
