Can I charge a lithium battery with a regular charger?
Lead acid battery chargers deliver a constant voltage charge while Lithium battery chargers deliver a constant current and constant voltage charge at a higher voltage.
How should I maintain Gel, AGM and Lithium Batteries?
Gel, AGM and Lithium batteries as opposed to traditional open batteries do not need maintenance, which means they can be installed anywhere.
How long will it take before my battery is discharged?
This depends on capacity and the amount of power consumed by the connected device.
What is the difference between Lithium and Lead batteries?
Lithium batteries have a depth of discharge of up to 98 percent and lead batteries have maximum discharge of about 60 percent. The composite material and light weigh are among some of the major differences. Lithium batteries have a cycle life of roughly between 3000 and 600cycle were as a good quality lead battery cycle between 200 and 300cycles.
How long do Solar panels last?
Solar panels typically have a life span of 25-30years or more.
What are benefits of Solar Energy?
Benefits include reduced energy bills, Energy Independence
How does Solar Energy work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using Photovoltaic Cells.
What does SOC mean?
State of charge (%) - An expression of the present battery capacity as a percentage of maximum capacity. SOC is generally calculated using current to determine the charge in battery capacity over time.
What is DOD?
Depth of Discharge (%) – The percentage of battery capacity that has been discharged expressed as a percentage of a maximum capacity. A discharge to at least 80% DOD is referred to as a deep discharge
What is terminal voltage and open circuit?
Terminal Voltage – (V) The voltage between the battery terminals with load applied.
Open Circuit – (V) The voltage between the battery terminals with no load applied.
How does cycle life work?
The number of discharge-charge cycles the battery can experience before it fails to meet specific performance criteria. Cycle life is estimated for specific charge & discharge conditions. The actual operating life of the battery is affected by the rate & depth of cycles & by other conditions such as temperature & humidity.
