Lithium ion batteries has some obvious advantages compared to traditional lead batteries. A lithium ion battery is very powerful. More energy are available than in other battery technologies. The lithium technology permits that a lithium ion battery can be charged extreme fast. The 100Ah lithium ion battery can be charged in only one hour.
The lithium ion battery has a very long lifetime, amazing 3000 cycles. The lithium ion batteries are also very light, lithium ion weighs only 1/3 of traditional lead batteries.
A lithium ion battery pack of 12VDC - is built with individual cells and it is a necessity that the individual lithium cells in the lithium ion battery pack has the same voltage, otherwise the lithium ion battery pack will awry and the cells die. If the cells get out of balance the Clayton Power BMS will automatically cell balance them back during both charge and discharge. The temperature of the lithium ion cells are also monitored by the BMS.
For 24VDC use, 2x lithium battery packs in serial connection.
All the Lithium Ion Battery Packs requires control of a BMS, Battery Management System. Battery Management: Charge and discharge control of every single cell, cell-temperature control, cell-balancing of each single cell and at almost any voltage level.
