Time for Lithium? Lead-acid batteries are so 20th century; lithium’s ARE the future. Making the switch is not that costly now as cost by usable output is now less than a good Lead acid Deep cycle battery , and there are major benefits. There’s been a lot of talk about lithium batteries in the past […]

People have slowly but surely started making use of renewable energy sources like solar panels. Solar panels are used to convert the energy radiated from sunlight to usable electricity through AC connected Grid Tie Inverters or DC connected MPPT Regulators (MPPT is short for Multi power point tracking). A solar regulator or Grid Tie are […]

We Now mainly use the Lithium Phosphate Battery (LiFePo4) as these are very stable and do not easily catch fire. Its also recommended that you always fit a BMS Battery Management system to these batteries Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) — LFP In 1996, the University of Texas (and other contributors) discovered phosphate as cathode material for […]

The SOC -Voltage chart give’s you a indicative state of charge based on the Battery Voltage when the battery has been at rest for 30 Min, this means no charging or loads in the past 30 Min. These should be compared to your SOC battery monitor and the Battery monitor should read a similar figure, […]
