2.1 Product description
By purchasing this lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4), you have chosen the safest lithium
chemistry. Compared to other lithium technologies, LiFePO4 batteries have the decisive advantage
that the thermal runaway temperature is higher (270°C), so it is not susceptible to thermal runaway
at which extinguishing would no longer be possible. The battery offers many other advantages
over lead-acid batteries (including lead-acid, AGM and GEL batteries) and lithium batteries from
other manufacturers:
•
Only about 40-50% of the weight of a lead-acid battery with the same capacity
•
Integrated battery management with adaptive cell balancing
•
Protection against short circuit, overvoltage, overcurrent, undervoltage
•
100% capacity can be used without damaging the battery
•
Higher energy density compared to lead
•
Partially charged state does not damage the battery
•
Does not need to be fully charged after each use
•
Faster charging possible due to higher charging currents
•
Almost constant voltage level during discharge, therefore very suitable for inverter operation
•
Low self-discharge when not in use
•
Absolutely maintenance-free, no need to refill with distilled water
•
Monitoring of the battery by built-in Bluetooth module via an app for your smartphone
•
Many more charging cycles (charging and discharging) compared to lead batteries, thus
much longer life. After 2000 cycles, at least 80% of the capacity is still available
•
In many cases it fits into existing battery holders (same housing as the lead-acid battery),
thus no conversion measures necessary (L5 housing)
•
Can be installed in any position
•
Expandable by series and/or parallel connection
•
In most cases, the existing charger can still be used
•
Lower costs per cycle than with lead batteries
