SLA vs. LiFePo4 (LFP) battery, extreme discharge test

What is the difference between SLA and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP)? One of the most frequent questions now answered. Rather extreme discharge test of two SLA and Winston 12V battery.

About Winston batteries: Large capacity LiFePO4 prismatic cells and batteries. Thundersky – Winston Ba

Swollen battery – Use or not to Use?

Question:We have a set of battery packs. We have noticed that in one of the packs the cells bulked and changed the shape.Is it safe to keep using the battery pack?

Answer: Generally said if there is any change of the shape of the case of the cells it indicates thatthere is some issue with the

GWL Battery Abuse Test Station – Sneak peek

GWL/Power team is carrying out the LFP cell abuse tests. We have constructed the Battery Abuse Test Station that consists of following main parts:

1) Equipment table – the measuring equipment is installed here

2) Mechanical abuse location – a block of concrete to be used as a plac

Raspberry Pi BMS communication module

Do you need to know how much capacity remains in your battery? Stay tuned - during Q3/2019 we will announce a communication modulebased on Raspberry Pi project. Together with our CPM1 board, it will bring you information about SoC and DoD of any battery pack from 4 to 16 LiFePO4 cells. It will a

Winston cells passed the China Army military safety tests

The photo shows the punch-through simulating a shooting from 45 mm calibre anti-tank gun.

Fully charged cells are punched through simulating the shoot-through from a military weapon. The purpose of the test is to see the safety and stability of the lithium cells.

As visible from the photo, the cells re

What is the Peukert’s Exponent for LiFePO4 cells?

The is used for the lead-acid batteries. Simply said this exponent is the ratio between the charging and discharging of a battery. It means how much energy you need to charge compared to the energy you get when discharging.

For the LiFePO4 cells, the efficiency of the charge and dis

How to calculate the cost of stored energy in a LiFePO4...

Lead Acid or LiFePO4? This is the price per kWh stored and cycle life comparison. The two following graphs will show you the comparison between the Lead Acid and LiFePO4 batteries. The first one compares the average number of cycles (cycle life) according to the battery type and a depth of discharge. The se

Determining the number of cells for a battery pack

Question: I need a 100V DC pack. How many cells do I need (for LFP or for LTO)?

Answer:The above table shows the various configurations of the number of the cells and the voltage levels that will be reached with the configuration.

For a 100V pack, the typical installation will
