| Up to 30% longer lifespan | Standard life expectancy |
| Superior heat tolerance | Limited performance in high temperatures |
| Faster recharge cycles | Slower recharge time |
| Stable voltage output | Power drops under load |
| Better recyclability | Conventional recycling footprint |
| Maintains charge longer | Loses charge faster when not in use |
| Graphite increases plate strength | Prone to grid corrosion over time |
| Higher cranking power in cold weather | Reduced performance in low temperatures |
| Lower evaporation | Higher water loss |
