How long does a Shorai battery last?
5 to 6 years
Research indicates an average of about 2 1/2 to 3 years lifespan for lead-acid. This is for many reasons, but almost exclusively it is related to use and storage techniques. Under the same average usage conditions, Shorai batteries are expected to last roughly double, or 5 to 6 years.
