Description
UN38.3 Certified 6V LiFePO4 Battery
LiFePO4 battery in plastic casing:
– Technology: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4)
– Max charge current: 2.25A
– Continuous discharge current: 5A
– Max discharge current (<5min): 8A
– Terminal F4.8= Faston 4.8mm
This 6V lithium iron phosphate battery is equipped with a BMS (Battery Management System) which protects the battery against short circuits, overcharge and deep discharge. The BMS also balances cells to increase battery life, improve performance and protect against mishandling.
LiFePO4 vs. Lead Acid
LiFePO4 offers many advantages over lead acid in terms of reliability, safety, cleanliness, efficiency =
– 70% lighter than standard lead acid batteries
– Very low self-discharge
– Longer life expectancy: 4 – 5 times longer life than lead acid (2000 cycles for LiFePO4 vs. 500 cycles max. for lead acid)
– Safer: No leaks possible as LiFePO4 batteries do not contain electrolyte. No risk of explosion or combustion following shocks, short circuits or overheating
– Better for the environment: LiFePO4 batteries are Lead, Cadmium and Mercury-free
– Large range of operating temperatures: -20°C to +60°C
– Performance: twice as efficient as lead acid, even with high charge / discharge currents
IMPORTANT: This LiFePO4 battery is UN38.3 certified and conforms to IATA regulations.
LiFePO4 technology is now used for a variety of applications:
– Electric vehicles (Golf carts)
– Solar (Storage battery)
– UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)
– Telecommunications
– Medical equipment (Wheelchair battery)
– Lighting
