Why are you not using Li-Ion?

We have chosen to use lead-acid batteries in our base model due to their stability, recyclability, and cost to our customers. We are also planning to offer lithium-ion battery pack upgrades to extend the range of the Pulse when it is released. These upgrade packs will be priced based on current market rates, and we look forward to the increased adoption of Li-ion batteries in many industries, which will make them more affordable into the future.
