Lithium and Alkaline Batteries?

Pros/cons for lithium ion batteries vs. lead acid batteries. Used to power nursing laptops in hospitals.?

  • We use wireless carts on wheels to hold our Dell D610 laptops. Someone has suggested that we use lead acid batteries to keep these laptops powered as opposed to the lithium ion batteries that we currently use. We get approx. 10 hours use out of our current lithium batteries. (with 2 on board batteries and one external lithium ion) What are the pros and cons for both battery types?

  • Answer:

    litium batts last longer and have more power per size than lead acid. also a lead acid batt is more dangorus than a lituim. go litium they maybe more pricey but you'll be better off in the long run.
