FAQs - The Ultimate Battery Company Ltd

The exact amount of CO₂ savings will depend on a number of factors. These include the type and weight of the vehicle, its standard emissions, and the annual mileage.

For example:

For a typical SUV:

Weight with traditional SLI battery: 2440kg; emissions 219g per kilometre
Weight with UBC SLI battery: 2425kg; emissions 217g per kilometre.
Annual mileage: 16093 km (10,00 miles)
Annual CO₂ emissions saving: 32186g or 32.16kg (or 70.9 lbs)

For a small family car:

Weight with traditional SLI battery: 1400kg; emissions 109g per kilometre
Weight with UBC SLI battery: 1385kg; emissions 108g per kilometre
Annual mileage: 16093km (10,000 miles)
Annual CO₂ emissions saving: 16098g or 16.0kg (or 35.5 lbs)
