BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The 100AH comes with an battery management system which monitors current and
voltages during charge and discharge. This protects the battery from over-
charge and over-discharge.
The BMS embeds smart balancing algorithms that control all cell voltages in
the battery, making sure they are constantly at the same voltage level,
optimizing battery capacity.

BENEFITS OF LITHIUM
Lithium offers several performance benefits versus it’s sealed lead acid (SLA) equivalent. A lithium battery’s capacity is independent from the discharge rate and provides constant power throughout it’s discharge. The degradation of a lithium battery at a high temperature is significantly reduced in comparison to SLA. Lithium has ten times the cycle life as SLA at room temperature. Even at an elevated temperature, lithium still has increased cycle life over SLA at room temperature. Lastly, Lithium charging follows a similar charging profile as SLA, Constant Current Constant Voltage (CC/CV). However, lithium can be charged faster, without the need for a maintenance float charge.
