APPLICATION

Storage capacity ranges from 1 kWh for small residential applications to 1080 kWh for industrial applications.

LiFeYPO4 batteries have more than 4 times the energy density than lead acid equivalents. This has great advantages for applications where lightweight energy storage is a requirement. Applications such as 4×4 vehicles, yachts and even apartment buildings benefit greatly from these lightweight batteries.

More operating cycles • More usable capacity and Life compared to lead acid equivalent • Just as or safer • Weight must be lower • Smaller • Lighter • Easy to dispose and recycle

LEAD TO LITHIUM

• Step 1: Adjust for DoD
• LiFeYPO4 DoD = 100% for 3600 cycles
• Lead Acid DoD = 50% for 1800 cycles
• Adjustment factor = 0.5

• Step 2: Adjust for Discharge Efficiency
• LiFeYPO4 discharge efficiency >96%
• Lead Acid discharge efficiency < 70% Difference > 25%
• Adjustment factor = 0.75

• Step 3: Adjust for terminal voltage
• LiFeYPO4 voltage = 52V
• Lead Acid voltage = 48V
• Adjustment factor = .95
