In today’s market, you’ll find batteries at very different price points. On the surface, cheaper options may look attractive — but often the difference lies in what’s inside:
A-grade lithium cells vs recycled/low-grade cells
Cost vs. Reality
Recycled cells make the battery cheaper upfront. But because they’re already aged, their lifespan may drop to 1500–2000 cycles, compared to 6000+ cycles for A-grade cells. That means more frequent replacements — and higher total cost over time.
Hidden Safety Risks
Recycled cells can come from unknown sources, sometimes with internal damage. This increases the risk of overheating, swelling, or even failure in the field. For installers and distributors, one faulty pack can damage years of reputation.
Long-Term Value
A-grade cells deliver stable performance, longer lifespan, and fewer service calls. End users save money in the long run, while installers build trust and win repeat business.
