How to Identify if a Battery is Lead Acid or Lithium: A Guide for Beginners
Are you trying to figure out if a battery is lead acid or lithium? It can be tricky to tell the difference between the two, but with a few simple steps, you can easily identify which type of battery you have.
First, take a look at the battery. Lead acid batteries are usually larger and heavier than lithium batteries. They also have a distinct shape, with two terminals on the top and a flat bottom. Lithium batteries, on the other hand, are usually smaller and lighter, and they have a cylindrical shape.

Next, check the label on the battery. Lead acid batteries will usually have a label that says “lead acid” or “lead-acid”. Lithium batteries will usually have a label that says “lithium” or “lithium-ion”.
Finally, check the voltage of the battery. Lead acid batteries typically have a voltage of 6 volts or 12 volts, while lithium batteries usually have a voltage of 3.7 volts or 7.4 volts.
By following these steps, you can easily identify if a battery is lead acid or lithium. Knowing the type of battery you have is important, as it will help you choose the right charger and ensure that your battery is used safely and efficiently.
