There are greater than a couple of good causes Lithium far exceeds performance of Lead Acid & AGM batteries. A lightweight possibility which presents charging effectivity and between 3000-5000 life cycles makes LiFePO4 your best option for a greater battery. To ensure the utmost safety and minimal influence, our chemistry makes use of only environmentally acceptable materials and has zero emissions with no venting needed.
Showing excessive efficiency in each extreme heat and cold, Lithium is about 2.5x extra efficient at low temperatures and operates safely up to 149*F. Moreover, versatile mounting permits in your battery to be installed in any direction with the same constant energy circulation all through the duration of use. Despite increased upfront prices of LiFePO4, the savings are clear when considering the true lifetime value.
Lithium FAQs:
Switching from Lead Acid/AGM to LiFePO4 (Lithium-ion Phosphate)
1. What can I use a Lithium Ion GreenLiFE® Battery for?
You can use a lithium battery for any utility that may usually use a single or a number of Lead Acid, GEL or AGM batteries. GreenLiFE® batteries are generally used for Marine, RV, Photo voltaic, Industrial, Efficiency, Golf Carts, UV, Mobility, UPS, and custom purposes
2. Is to LiFePO4 more harmful than lead acid/AGM?
No, it’s safer than lead acid/AGM. Plus, a GreenLiFE Lithium Battery™ has inbuilt protection circuits. This prevents a brief circuit and has beneath/over voltage safety. Lead/AGM don't, and flooded lead acid comprises sulfuric acid that may spill and hurt you, the surroundings and your tools. Lithium batteries are sealed and don't have any liquids and provides off no gasses.
3. What do I need to change in my electrical system to run to LiFePO4 batteries?
Brief reply is nothing! Our batteries are designed to be used precisely how lead acid batteries are used. Common sources:
Alternator: Most alternators will sufficiently cost GreenLiFE® lithium ion know-how. Inverter: Set or program the charging voltage to 14.4v - 14.6v to get one of the best charge. Standard charger: A standard battery charger WILL cost GreenLiFE Batteries™ due to its advanced BMS.
4. What if I've a total loss (non-charging system)?
We can recommend some completely different lithium specific chargers for you but lots of our customers use their present external chargers with our batteries they usually work nice!
5. What about wet/damp areas?
GreenLiFE lithium batteries are sealed however are usually not waterproof to locations that may get wet or damp. It is very really useful to put all lithium ion batteries in a dry lock field to stop any water damage. These batteries are barely water resistant, nevertheless taking these further precautions will increase the longevity of the battery.
6. The place/How can I mount it?
The batteries might be mounted in any direction, even the wrong way up. Since there is no such thing as a liquid in them and they're solid the battery will work nevertheless you mount them.
7. How do they deal with heat/cold?
Lithium batteries have a bigger working temperature than lead acid/AGM. Lithium battery manufacturers effected by excessive heat (over 150F) and chilly (below -20F). Nonetheless, If it’s chilly, merely turn on some accessories and the battery will self-heat! Whether it is hot, just be sure air can stream across the battery.
8. What about these melting lithium cellphone & laptop batteries I saw on the information?
There have been very few of those in relation to what number of cell phones laptops there are on this planet. Issues have been with the “pouch” style prismatic cell design (limited safety features to make it extra compact for electronics). Our batteries use different chemistry (LiFePO4), have safer cell design (steel encased cylindrical cells), and have a complicated BMS system for additional safety.
9. How do I do know what measurement lithium battery I want?
It’s more about what your priorities are. Our lithium has about twice the useable capability as a lead acid and AGM batteries. So, in case your goal is to get extra usable battery time (Amps) then you need to improve to a battery with the identical Amps (or extra). I.e. should you replace a 100amp battery with a 100amp GreenLiFE Battery™, you're going to get about double the usable amps, with about half the load. If your aim is to have a smaller battery, a lot less weight, or less expensive. Then you may change the 100amp battery with a GreenLiFE 50amp battery. You're going to get about the same usable amps (time), it will value less, and it’s about ¼ the load. Confer with the spec sheet for dimensions or name us with additional questions or customized wants.
10. What is the life expectancy of the battery?
A GreenLiFE Battery™ can be utilized for 3000-5000 life cycles. Depending on usage this can be 10 years or extra. Lead acid and AGM get roughly 300-500 life cycles earlier than their capability is diminished substantially. Due to this fact, regardless that there may be extra upfront cost with a GreenLiFE Battery, the upgrade saves you allot of cash over time.
