IF YOU USE A YOUR GOLF CART A LOT YOU NEED A BATTERY THAT’S GOING TO BE RELIABLE. HERE ARE A FEW REASONS TO GO LITHIUM FOR YOUR GOLF CART BATTERY. Standard carts come with sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. And while they’re durable, they’re not the best option. Here’s why you should consider upgrading your lifepo4 golf cart battery with a quality lithium-ion unit. 1. Reduces Weight of Your Golf Cart It should come as no surprise that standard sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries are incredibly heavy. And the longer you want your battery to last, the heavier the unit will be. These lithium ion golf cart batteries make even the zippiest light-weight golf cart incredibly heavy. And the heavier your golf cart is, the slower it’ll move across the course. Worse, if you’re playing on damp turf, the cart will sink in. No one wants to be responsible for leaving tire tracks on the fairway. Lithium golf cart batteries are much lighter. This makes your golf cart easier to maneuver and hel...

Solar Power is in High Demand Not long ago, the idea of harvesting energy from the sun was still science fiction. But after many technological advances in the last few years, solar power is now a reliable alternative energy source with the potential to challenge and one day out-compete oil, gas, and other forms of energy. Solar is now the second biggest source for clean energy generation, following natural gas. This demand for clean energy is higher than ever with the popularity of the green movement. Especially here in Florida and other sunny climates, the residential and commercial demand for solar panels is booming with new home buyers and business owners. Homeowners and business owners may see substantial savings on their energy bills over time when they switch from traditional energy. Adopting solar energy also comes with rebates and tax incentives that the coal, oil, and natural gas industries can’t provide. Solar Energy Is Now Affordable With the rise in demand for ...

Thermal runaway is a long standing problem that has bugged large corporations like Tesla, Samsung, and Boeing and small alike. Boeing’s Dreamliner 787, which Boeing advertised as 20% fuel efficient, was grounded in 2013. In the same year, Tesla’s Model S came under a federal safety investigation after it caught fire at least 3 times. Last year Samsung recalled 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 smartphone. For all the three companies, which are top players of their domain, the problem was same – the Lithium-Ion batteries installed in heart of their product as a power source. The lithium-ion batteries installed in Tesla Model S, Dreamliner 787 and Galaxy Note 7 were exploding continuously. Why Does A Lithium Ion Battery Explode Unexpectedly? Lithium ion batteries are the most used type of batteries across several industries but, do you know what makes makes them hazardous?

The purpose of parallel connection of lithium batteries is to increase the capacity. Therefore, parallel charging of lithium batteries has different design characteristics compared with single-cell lithium batteries, mainly reflected in the consistency of charging current design and parallel battery. The characteristics of the parallel lithium battery are: the voltage is constant, the battery capacity is added, the internal resistance is reduced, and the power supply time is prolonged. The core content of parallel charging is the size of the parallel current and its effect. According to the parallel theory, the main circuit current is equal to the sum of the currents of the respective branches. Therefore, the n-th parallel lithium battery that has been combined into a battery pack should achieve the same charging efficiency as the single-cell battery, and the charging current should be the sum of the n lithium battery currents. Under the formula of Ohm’s law: I=U/R, this de...

Lithium ion battery materials are essential components in the production of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in various electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. These batteries consist of several key materials that work together to store and release electrical energy efficiently. Cathode Materials State-of-the-art cathode materials include lithium-metal oxides [such as LiCoO2, LiMn2O4, and Li(NixMnyCoz)O2], vanadium oxides, olivines (such as LiFePO4), and rechargeable lithium oxides.11,12 Layered oxides containing cobalt and nickel are the most studied materials for lithium-ion batteries. They show a high stability in the high-voltage range but cobalt has limited availability in nature and is toxic, which is a tremendous drawback for mass manufacturing. Manganese offers a low-cost substitution with a high thermal threshold and excellent rate capabilities but limited cycling behavior. Therefore, mixtures of cobalt, nickel, and manganese are...
