LONG LIFE
Lithium Werks Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery has a long cycle life.
Traditionally, the cycle life of a battery is the number of cycles of charge and discharge a battery can undergo while still retaining 80 percent of its initial capacity.
The 80% limit is a legacy value left over from lead acid battery testing because once a lead acid battery has reached 80% of original capacity, it may exhibit sudden death as the capacity can decrease rapidly thereafter.
As a result of our stable, high-quality chemistry, the Lithium Werks product line has superior cycle life compared to lead acid and lithium mixed oxide batteries. Lithium Werks batteries have a slow predictable fade with no sudden drop in capacity.
One can now use the battery until the energy drops below that needed in an application rather than arbitrarily stop at 80%.
Iron Capacity
Lithium Werks lithium ion batteries can keep supplying energy down to 70%, 60% or even 50% of original capacity. And even then, they could be transitioned to another application where the rest of the capacity could still be useful. This benefit is just not offered with lead acid.
As a result of our stable, high-quality chemistry, the Lithium Werks product line has superior cycle life compared to both lead acid and lithium mixed oxide batteries.
The lithium-ion battery works on ion movement between the positive and negative electrodes. In theory such a mechanism should work forever, but cycling, elevated temperature and aging decrease capacity over time.
Manufacturers take a conservative approach and specify the life of Li-ion in most consumer products as being between 300 and 500 discharge/charge cycles.
Thousands of cycles. A battery may fail before that time due to heavy use or unfavorable temperature conditions. Lithium Werks lithium iron phosphate battery lasts thousands of cycles. This is why it’s an ideal solution for industrial deep-cycle batteries.
