How long EV and home backup batteries can last Lithium-ion batteries used in modern solar systems and electric vehicles (EVs) can last over 15 years and still have plenty of use after consuming their rated life cycles, as long as they are treated according to their specifications. South...

Hi, so currently I have a Geewiz 2400VA Inverter Trolley + 2x 100AH Batteries KIT - 1440W. I'm in the market to upgrade to lithium batteries, from what I've read with my current kit its not the best as mecer inverter is not really built to support lithium batteries and I dont want to mod the...

Tips for extending lithium battery life Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionised how we store energy, powering everything from wireless earbuds to electric vehicles. Thanks to their efficiency and longevity, these compact, high-energy-density power sources have become integral to our daily lives.

Inventor of lithium-ion battery dies at 100 Professor John B. Goodenough, the man widely recognised as the inventor of the lithium-ion battery, has died. The University of Texas at Austin confirmed the Nobel Prize laureate's passing on Sunday, 25 June 2023, at the age of 100.

Hi everyone! I’m a student so on a very limited budget but trying to put together a system that will at least run my laptop charger (60w) and my monitor, and ideally my tv (42 inch HD - Google says average 120W) but I can even go without the tv. I’m not looking at more than 200w/250w at a time...

Hi everyone Needing some advice on choosing the correct inverter for my Securi-Prod 100Ah lithium battery. Context: Replaced the lead acid battery in my Ellies 720W/1200VA Inverter trolley this December. I was reassured by the team at GW that the drop in Securi-Prod 100Ah lithium battery...

Scientists develop electrolyte mixture that could prevent battery fires Researchers at Stanford University's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory believe they have found a solution to prevent lithium-ion electric vehicle (EV) batteries from igniting at high temperatures. The scientists...

PowerBrick load-shedding backup station — a plug-and-play micro-Powerwall made in South Africa An innovative new compact battery system featuring patented technology developed in South Africa is hoping to bring electricity to millions of power-less African households and support load-shedding...

Just wanted to check, I currently have 2 gel batteries connected to my inverter (Synapse 2400W 24V) and they’re near the end of their lifecycle. If I buy 2 lithium batteries, looking at the Hubble S-120 1.5Kw 12V, do I need to reconfigure my inverter or can I just drop in the 2 replacements...

Hi, I am considering investing in a solar solution. I have come across Lithium batteries by Lithium Batteries SA. Any information, experiences or recommendation on these batteries will be appreciated

A solid-state battery is a battery technology that uses solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, instead of the liquid or polymer gel electrolytes found in lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries. ... Solid-state batteries have found use in pacemakers, RFID and wearable devices. Do you think...
