Transporter Energy - Make the switch to Lithium
For over 150 years, we have continued to use the same technology for rechargeable power from batteries. This lead-acid option invented in 1859 is still widespread today. Lead-acid batteries are cheaper and might be a suitable option for many, but when it comes to powering your boat, is lead the safest and most cost-effective option in the long run?
