Why Solar Energy Chooses Lithium Batteries More Than Lead-acid Batteries?

Lithium batteries are small in size and light in weight, and the equipment is cost-effective: Nowadays, all-in-one road street lights are widely used in solar lights all over the world. If lead-acid batteries are used, they must be buried in the ground around the street lights and placed in buried boxes. , Because its net weight is relatively light, it can be connected to the back of the solar panel, saving cost.


Lithium batteries have less environmental pollution than lead-acid batteries, and are low-carbon and environmentally friendly: everyone knows that lead-acid batteries have a shorter service life. Although it is cost-effective, it is likely to be replaced once a year, which will greatly increase air pollution. In addition, lead-acid batteries have more serious environmental pollution than lithium batteries. If they are not replaced immediately, they will always have a negative impact on the natural environment. Lithium batteries have zero pollution, and lead-acid batteries contain excessive lead and heavy metals.


Lithium batteries are more intelligent systems: Today's lithium batteries are becoming more and more intelligent systems, with more complete functions. At this stage, the lithium battery can be adjusted according to the customer's regulations on rechargeable batteries and the use time. Many lithium batteries can be installed with the BMS intelligent management system, which can instantly query the battery status on the mobile phone and can also automatically identify the current intensity of the rechargeable battery. If there is an abnormal phenomenon, the BMS system software can automatically adjust it.

Longer lithium battery life: The annual consumption of lead-acid batteries is high, and it often takes one or two years to replace them. And the service life of a lithium battery is 3 to 5 years, generally speaking, it can guarantee a three-year warranty. The service life of the lead-acid battery cycle system is about 300 times. Compared with the lithium iron phosphate battery rechargeable battery, the 3C cycle system has a service life of more than 800 times.


The lithium battery pack has a higher safety factor and has no memory: lead-acid batteries are easy to seep water, while lithium batteries are not easy to see the water. The lead-acid battery has memory capacity. When the battery is not fully charged and discharged, it will cause memory and endanger the life of the rechargeable battery. And the lithium battery has no memory and can be charged at any time. It is safer and reassuring to use. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have already been tested for rigorous safety and will not cause serious impacts.


High-efficiency energy relative density Lithium batteries have a high relative density of energy storage technology. At this stage, they can achieve 460-600Wh/kg, which is about 6-7 times that of lead-acid batteries. That way the energy storage technology of solar lights would be better.

Lithium battery solar lights are very heat-resistant: solar lights are exposed to the sun every day, so there are higher requirements for the temperature of the natural environment. The heat peak of the rechargeable lithium iron phosphate battery can reach 350~500℃, and it can be used in the natural environment of -20℃~60℃.


Market price, warranty period: At this stage, the popular rechargeable battery on the sales market is 48 volts. If it is replaced, the lead-acid battery is about 450RMB, and the warranty period is 1 year; the price of lithium batteries is relatively high, requiring a thousand RMB, but the warranty period is 3 years.


MANLY Battery Company, a professional manufacturer of lithium iron phosphate batteries, provides customized services for multi-series parallel lithium iron phosphate batteries/lithium iron phosphate power batteries. The products are widely used in electric bicycles, golf carts, electric wheelchairs, electric tools, electric toys, Solar batteries, emergency lights, solar street lights, UPS backup power supplies, and various instruments.
