LiFePO4 batteries pack a punch. Knocking out traditional lead acid batteries, LiFePO4 is the more efficient technology. Many manufacturers, businesses and individuals are making the switch and converting to custom lithium batteries. When you’re in charge of utilities and energy management at a university, your power needs are significant and varied. For example, you don’t only need electricity, but also a reliable energy source for backup power. During a power outage, students wouldn’t be safe if the emergency lighting in their dorms and classrooms were to fail. If you work for a renewable energy university, you also need a way to store solar power effectively. Lead acid batteries waste energy during charging, defeating your efficiency goals. For every storable energy need, lithium is the ideal battery solution. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have many uses in addition to providing backup power and energy for solar applications.

When customers are shopping for a marine battery, their priorities are reliability and a long life span. Batteries serve two basic purposes in the marine market: to start up a gas- or diesel-fueled engine, and to power an electric motor. In either situation, customers want a battery that lasts for years, and one that’s reliable every time they leave the dock. Using Marine Batteries With Gas-Powered Engines In boats with gas- or diesel-fueled engines, a marine battery is required to start the engine – much like the starter in an automobile. To be effective, the marine battery must be able to support small electronic loads throughout the day and still have enough energy to start the engine when the customer wants to go back to the dock. A variety of important systems use battery power to operate when the motor or engine are not running. These include bilge pumps, radios, depth finders, power poles, lights and sonar equipment. Loss of power to these navigational systems could put pa...

From laptops and mobile phones to hybrid cars, lithium-ion batteries have become the standard for many manufactured products. While these batteries have long been well known among engineers, they enjoy a reputation among consumers as being new, cutting-edge technology. Incorporating lithium-ion batteries into your products gives you an opportunity to set your company apart while delivering superior performance and value. In 1980, John Goodenough invented the foundation of the lithium-ion battery. The cobalt-oxide cathode, a lithium battery component, is used in almost every portable electronic device across the world. Many people have tried to improve the cobalt-oxide cathode, but no one has succeeded. Since 1980, the performance and capacity of lithium technology has increased steadily. However, it wasn’t until three to four years ago that a stream of engineers in the U.S. market began equipping their electric products with lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries have provide...
