The Evolution of Lithium Technology
Lead-acid batteries, invented in 1859, consist of lead plates and sulfuric acid. In contrast, lithium-ion batteries emerged commercially in the 1980s and have since gained widespread acceptance. While early lithium-ion batteries had safety concerns, advancements have addressed these issues. Seaster Battery introduces Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) batteries, developed in 1996, which offer enhanced safety and reliability compared to older Lithium-Cobalt-Oxide (LiCoO2) batteries.
Enhanced “Useable” Capacity
Traditional lead-acid batteries typically utilize only 30-50% of their rated capacity, while lithium batteries enable practical usage of 90% or more. For example, a 100 amp hour (Ah) lithium battery can be utilized up to 90 Ah or even 100% depth of discharge (DoD). This significant increase in usable capacity enhances the efficiency and flexibility of power systems.
Extended Cycle Life
Seaster Battery’s high-quality LiFePO4 batteries deliver exceptional cycle life, surpassing other chemistries like NMC or NCA commonly used in the electric vehicle industry. While theoretical cycle life values are challenging to verify, practical usage shows that standard-quality LiFePO4 batteries can deliver at least 2000 charge/discharge cycles at 80% DoD and 1C discharge rate, with remaining capacity above 80%. PowerTech Systems, utilizing premium cells sorted and matched, achieves an impressive 4000 to 5000 cycles at 1C and 80% DoD, which can be further increased by reducing the DoD.
Negligible Peukert’s Losses & Voltage Sag
Lithium batteries exhibit a flat discharge curve, ensuring consistent output voltage throughout the discharge process. This eliminates the voltage sag commonly experienced with lead-acid batteries. Moreover, lithium-ion batteries have negligible Peukert losses, allowing them to deliver their full rated capacity even at high currents. This makes them ideal for powering high-current devices such as air conditioners, microwaves, and induction cooktops.
Size & Weight Advantages
Lithium-ion batteries offer significant size and weight advantages compared to lead-acid batteries. The compact and lightweight nature of lithium batteries makes them ideal for space-constrained applications where maximizing power capacity within limited compartments is crucial.
Fast & Efficient Charging
Lithium-ion batteries can be fast-charged to 100% capacity without requiring an absorption phase, unlike lead-acid batteries. With a sufficiently powerful charger, it is possible to fully charge a lithium-ion battery in as little as 30 minutes. Additionally, failure to regularly fully charge lithium-ion batteries does not lead to battery damage, providing greater flexibility in energy harvesting.
High Charging Efficiency
Lithium-ion batteries exhibit nearly 100% charging efficiency, outperforming the 85% efficiency of most lead-acid batteries. This high efficiency is particularly advantageous when charging via solar power, maximizing the utilization of every amp before sunset or cloud cover.
Climate Resistance
Lithium-ion batteries excel in harsh environments, maintaining their efficiency in both extreme hot and cold temperatures. In freezing conditions, lithium-ion batteries outperform lead-acid batteries significantly, delivering more than 80% of their energy at -20°C, while AGM lead-acid batteries provide only 30% of their capacity. For applications exposed to challenging climates, lithium-ion technology proves to be the ideal choice.
Fewer Placement Issues
Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not require upright storage or vented battery compartments. Their flexible assembly capabilities enable easy integration into various shapes and configurations, making them ideal for maximizing power capacity within constrained spaces.
Zero Maintenance Requirements
Lithium-ion batteries are virtually maintenance-free. The built-in Battery Management System (BMS) ensures automatic cell balancing, eliminating the need for manual maintenance. Simply charge the battery, and it is ready to power your applications reliably.
