When customers are shopping for a marine battery, their priorities are reliability and a long life span. Batteries serve two basic purposes in the marine market: to start up a gas- or diesel-fueled engine, and to power an electric motor. In either situation, customers want a battery that lasts for years, and one that’s reliable every time they leave the dock.
When a customer is purchasing a battery-powered device, such as an eBike or electric golf caddy, they don’t necessarily know what they’re looking for in terms of the battery. Nor do they usually understand the differences between lead acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
As you consider your energy storage options for off-grid solar applications, LifePO4 is the solution to meet your needs. Lithium iron phosphate is the clear choice for energy storage in off-grid applications for several reasons.
From laptops and mobile phones to hybrid cars, lithium-ion batteries have become the standard for many manufactured products. While these batteries have long been well known among engineers, they enjoy a reputation among consumers as being new, cutting-edge technology. Incorporating lithium-ion batteries into your products gives you an opportunity to set your company apart while delivering superior performance and value.
Electric golf trolleys and golf caddies are popular overseas, and starting to gain a major following in the U.S., particularly with golfers who enjoy the benefits of walking the course. Trolley manufacturers and vendors are using lithium-ion batteries to build on this trend, delivering superior products that increase sales.
Lithium-ion battery technology has become more and more popular in recent years. End users are learning that lithium technology increases their applications’ efficiency, reduces charge time, weighs less and most importantly, lasts many years longer compared to lead acid alternatives.
Lithium-ion batteries aren’t just for laptops and electric cars anymore. Today, they also power your home. Consider the uses of lithium in storing solar power.
Our phones, laptops and electric vehicles all owe their energy technology to one historic year: In 1980, John Goodenough invented the foundation of the lithium-ion battery. The cobalt-oxide cathode, a lithium battery component, is used in almost every portable electronic device across the world. Many people have tried to improve the cobalt-oxide cathode, but no one has succeeded.
