People often store batteries without proper care, only to later find the battery short-circuited, fluid leaking, or not working for some reason. While most of these problems aren’t an issue for Lithium batteries, especially lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP), they still require certain precautions. This is especially true when the battery is disconnected and…

Lithium batteries, especially the Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) ones, have replaced older-style lead-acid and AGM batteries. Even though lithium batteries come at a higher price, the benefits of a lithium battery far outweigh the cost. Once people have invested in a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, a common question is: how do you maintain…

Lithium batteries have been around since the 1990s and have become the go-to choice for powering everything from mobile phones and laptops to pacemakers, power tools, life-saving medical equipment and personal mobility scooters. One of the reasons lithium-ion battery technology has become so popular is that it can be deployed in various practical applications. Keep…

Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (Li-NMC) and Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) – sound like two batteries that should be more or less the same. After all, they both have lithium in them. However, there is a vast difference between these two battery technologies, enough to make you think for a while before investing in…

High-capacity batteries are highly sought after nowadays, for a wide range of applications. These batteries serve the purpose of recreational batteries, electric vehicles batteries, solar batteries, and a lot of other uses. Many years ago, you would have seen that lead-acid batteries were the only high battery capacity option available in the market. However, the…

The demand for high-capacity batteries has increased in recent years for many applications. To meet this high demand, many types of batteries are now available. The top contenders suitable for most applications are lithium and AGM batteries. Many people ask us: which should I choose – an AGM or lithium battery? This article gives a…

With so many battery types available, the debate about lead acid vs lithium ion batteries continues. Users want a reliable battery that gives them value for their money, with optimal power and performance. Two of the most sought-after battery types are lead-acid and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. In this article, we will discuss the difference between…
