Why LiFePO4 Dominates Modern Installations
Our proprietary lithium iron phosphate batteries overcome traditional limitations through:
1. Thermal Safety
With 270°C thermal runaway threshold vs. 150°C in conventional Li-ion, ensuring safer operation in Global climates.
2. Deep Cycling Capability
80-95% Depth of Discharge (DoD) without capacity degradation - 2.5× lead-acid battery performance.
3. Hybrid Compatibility
Integrated BMS supports SMA/SolarEdge/Victron protocols, enabling seamless integration in retrofit projects.
