Wall-mounted lithium batteries have several advantages that make them an excellent choice for industrial applications. For example, they are lightweight and have a long cycle life. Additionally, they do not require active maintenance. This makes them an excellent choice for monitoring equipment in remote outposts.
Low weight
Lithium batteries have a higher energy density than lead-acid batteries, allowing them to fit more storage capacity into a smaller space. If you were to power the same system using lead-acid batteries, you would have to install 8 of them. However, the weight of lithium batteries is only half that of lead-acid batteries, making them easier to install in tighter spaces.
Long cycle life
Lithium-ion batteries have high specific energy and a long cycle life at low voltage. At 4.20V/cell, they deliver 300-500 cycles. But they lose capacity and life if they are overcharged. This can happen if a battery is kept at too-high a voltage or is exposed to high temperatures. The best way to maximize the battery’s cycle life is to regularly charge it to a maximum charge voltage of 4.20V/cell.
Lithium batteries should be charged at least 40% of their capacity before storage, and should be kept in a dry, cool environment. If the battery is not charged sufficiently, it will undergo self-discharge and shorten its cycle life. The temperature at which a lithium battery is stored has a strong relationship with how long the battery will hold a charge.
No active maintenance
Wall mounted lithium batteries offer a number of benefits. Unlike lead acid or nickel-based batteries, they do not require active maintenance and do not release hazardous gases. They are also safe to use in enclosed areas because they do not emit hydrogen or oxygen. Furthermore, they do not need scheduled venting or cooling, which means they can be safely stored anywhere.
However, lithium batteries are more expensive than lead-acid batteries. Nevertheless, if you plan to use your emergency power backup system on a regular basis, it’s a good idea to consider FLA batteries instead. They do not require active maintenance and will last for years. They are also lighter and easier to handle. Although they are more expensive up front, lithium batteries are far more cost-efficient in the long run.
Low energy loss
Low energy loss of wall mounted lithium batteries is achieved by raising the temperature of the batteries. The increase in temperature reduces the amount of lithium ions that diffuse into the lithium oxide lattice, and this should result in lower capacity loss. This study shows that an electrode with a 45 degree Celsius temperature reduces capacity loss by 8.4 mAh/g, and the Coulombic efficiency was 96.4%.
Lithium batteries experience losses of energy during both charging and discharging. The smaller these losses, the higher the efficiency of the battery. The average loss is between 10% and 3%.
Durability
A lithium battery’s life span is dependent on how it is used and how frequently it is charged and discharged. In a normal operating environment, a lithium battery will have a 60% capacity after 10 years. However, overcharging a lithium battery can lead to thermal runaway and capacity loss. Similarly, extreme cold can cause the internal electrolyte to lose fluidity, resulting in decreased power output and inefficient recharging.
Unlike many other energy storage devices, wall mounted lithium batteries can be easily charged and discharged multiple times. Some wall-mounted lithium batteries have a higher capacity than others and are therefore ideal for a variety of home applications. They also have a long shelf-life, enabling them to be used for many years.
