Lithium Battery ...

[The_Traveller]

Just wondering how good is this battery ( on paper ) compared to the CALB that [-]Isheed[/-] lsheed is arranging for everyone ?

Would take the DoD @ 100% lifetime with a pinch of salt.
Thats the identical battery tech, so will be similar if not identical unless they don't do proper cell balancing on their "12v unit"

As a 12V model, it will be 4 packs together with a cell balancer in one unit.

how do I get proof on those claims ? Test reports ?

Ask for a data sheet from the manufacturer.

NB - 12v LiFePO4 will sit at about 12.4v (10%) - 13.3v (90% charge) so should work nicely with a typical Lead Acid 12v charger.
Won't be perfect, but it won't die from Lead Acid charger use.


For EV use, they're usually rated for 2000 cycles before they drop below 80% of original capacity.

In a stationary controlled environment (for example home storage use) with much lower charge / discharge usage C rates, they should last longer, especially if you keep charge / discharge within 20-90% of charge ( 70% DoD ).

Suggest take a read about the different tech here, and read the articles on that site - http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/explaining_lithium_ion_chemistries


It should give you a better overview of things.

I want the 100ah unit. It weighs only 15 grams

...and thats why you can take some spec sheets with a pinch of salt
