The Off Grid Solar UK Lithium battery is supplied fully protected by a sophisticated and specially designed lithium battery management system that constantly monitors every cell to ensure the battery is always optimized for best performance and life. The battery management system will not allow charging in low temperature conditions as you cannot charge this battery technology in freezing conditions. These batteries are designed to run in. Parallel so you can install two of these for extra storage capacity and are ideal for Solar power applications.
The charging efficiency of lithium ion is 2 times higher and faster than a normal lead acid/gel/AGM battery. These are currently the best battery technology on the market and although the upfront cost is relatively high, in the long term and actual use these beat everything hands down. If treated well these should last 15 years. Unlike with lead acid batteries, it is considered practical to regularly use 90% or more of the rated capacity of a lithium battery bank, and occasionally more. Consider a 100 amp hour battery if it was lead acid you would be wise to use just 30 to 50 amp hours of juice, but with lithium you could tap into 90 amp hours or even 100Ah (100% DoD).
Manufacturers and laboratories report that tens of thousands of cycles can be expected from a high quality LiFePo4 battery. However, these are theoretical values that could not be easily verified. These values are dependent on the charge rate, the depth of discharge but more importantly on the quality of the cells used. These cycle life results are much more better than NMC or NCA chemistries, massively used in electric vehicle industry. 3/ Peukerts Losses & Voltage Sag Virtually Non Existant.The discharge curve of lithium batteries (especially relative to lead acid) is essentially flat meaning that a 20% charged battery will be providing nearly the same output voltage as an 80% charged battery. This prevents any issues caused by the voltage sag common to lead acid as they discharge, but does mean that any battery monitor or generator auto-start dependent upon voltage levels will likely not work well at all when monitoring a lithium bank. This means that Lithium-Ion batteries can deliver their full rated capacity, even at high currents. Whereas lead acid can see as much as a 40% loss of capacity at high loads. In practice, this means that Lithium-Ion battery banks are very well suited to powering high current loads like an air conditioner, a microwave or an induction hob.
Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Discharge curves at different C rates. 4/ Size & Weight Advantages. In terms of weight and size of the lithium-ion batteries, they are significantly lighter and therefore easier to install and maintain especially for those that have bad backs! Generally 2-3 times lighter than their lead acid.
5/ Fast & Efficient Charging. Lithium-ion batteries can be fast charged to 100% of capacity. Unlike with lead acid, there is no need for an absorption phase to get the final 20% stored.
And, if your charger is powerful enough, lithium batteries can also be charged insanely fast. If you can provide enough charging amps you can actually fully charge a lithium ion battery just 30 minutes.For length of service it is better to trickle charge and at no more than 30amps DC for this battery. But even if you dont manage to fully top off to 100%, no worries unlike with lead acid, a failure to regularly fully charge Lithium-Ion batteries does not damage the batteries. This give you lots of flexibility to tap into energy sources whenever you can get them without worrying about needing to do a full charge regularly.
Several partly cloudy days with your solar system? No problem that you cant top off before the sun goes down, as long as youre keeping on top of your needs. With lithium, you can charge up what you can and not fret about leaving your battery bank perpetually undercharged.
6/ Very Little Wasted Energy. Lead acid batteries are less efficient at storing power than lithium ion batteries.
Lithium batteries charge at nearly 100% efficiency, compared to the 85% efficiency of most lead acid batteries. This can be especially important when charging via solar, when you are trying to squeeze as much efficiency out of every amp as possible before the sun goes down or gets covered up by clouds. Theoretically, with lithium nearly every drop of sun youre able to collect goes into your batteries.With limited roof & storage space for panels, this become very important in optimizing every square inch of wattage youre able to mount. Lead acid batteries and lithium lose their capacity in cold environments. As you can see in the diagram below, Lithium-ion batteries are much more efficient at low temperatures. Moreover, the discharge rate affects the performance of lead acid batteries. At -20°C, a Lithium battery that delivers a 1C current (one times its capacity), can deliver more than 80% of its energy when the AGM battery will deliver 30% of its capacity.
For harsh environments (hot and cold), Lithium-Ion is the technological choice. Lithium-ion batteries do not need to be stored upright, or in a vented battery compartment. They can also fairly easily be assembled into odd shapes an advantage if you are trying to squeeze as much power as possible into a small compartment. This is especially useful if you have an existing battery bay that is limited in size, but you want or need more capacity than lead acid is currently able to provide. Lithium-Ion batteries are fairly maintenance free.
A balancing process to make sure all the cells in a battery bank are equally charged is automatically achieved by the BMS (Battery Management System). Just charge you battery and you are good to go.
