Lithium-ion Battery Packs – A World of Benefits

A careful view of our planet reveals the myriad warnings Mother Earth frantically flashes, crying out to us to change our destructive, polluting lifestyles. While the thought of rejuvenating the entire planet can be extremely overwhelming, the truth is that the journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, and every step in the right direction, leads us closer to our goal. In a world where change is the only constant, adaptability is the simple secret of survival… and we sure have the dinosaurs of old to remind us of the effects of not adapting!

Let’s get a little ambitious, and look at how we can respond to our planet’s pleas filling not one, but two needs with one deed! – The answer is in the 1.474 billion vehicles that daily crisscross streets across the world. Non-renewable fossil fuels that power a majority of these vehicles, pose a double whammy. On one hand is the large scale depletion of earth’s limited natural resources. On the other is vehicular pollution which, according to the Environmental Defense Fund, is the cause of nearly 27% of greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and global warming.

Thankfully there is a growing band of eco-warriors, concerned about reclaiming earth’s splendour and making it a beautiful place for us all. This is what has prompted pioneers like Battrixx to focus on sustainable innovation that offers power solutions for a greener, cleaner world. Although Lithium is a non-renewable mineral, it makes renewable energy possible, and thus becomes a step in the right direction for a greener, cleaner, more environment friendly energy source for various applications including Electric Vehicles (EVs).

Change is best affected when stakeholders at the micro level understand how they directly stand to benefit. So let’s look at how vehicle owners and manufacturers benefit from Lithium-ion Battery Packs.

Benefits of Using Lithium-ion Battery Packs

1. High Energy Density

Lithium-ion batteries are high in energy density, which means that they store more energy than other types of batteries of the same size. The higher the level of energy the battery can hold, the better and more lasting its performance. While lead-acid batteries hold between 50 and 100 wh/kg; lithium-ion batteries can store between 260 and 270 wh/kg – a significantly higher energy density indeed!

2. Safety Enhanced through BMS

Battery Management Systems are carefully employed for increasing the safety quotient of lithium-ion battery packs, as the safety of the products they power, as well of the users – are both extremely vital. BMS smartly monitor and manage diverse aspects such as safety, performance, charge rates, lifespans, and beyond of lithium-ion battery packs making them an overall safe option.

3. Light Weight

Lithium-ion batteries are a significant 50 to 60% lighter in weight than conventional batteries, which make these an ideal option for products ranging from portable devices to EVs.

4. Longer Lifecycle and Recyclable

Lithium-ion batteries last up-to ten times longer than lead-acid batteries. This ensures lower waste generation and furthermore, at the end of their lifespan, material can be salvaged for recycling. Now that’s a double scoop for environment protection!

5. Good Long-term Performance

Lithium-ion battery packs are here for the long haul as they score well on long-term performance. The better ones can even work at 80% of rated capacity after around 200 cycles, which is clearly indicative of a good run.

6. Temperature Tolerant

Lithium-ion batteries are known to be relatively adaptive to extreme temperatures, and hence are more dependable than other batteries even in unfavourable temperatures.

7. Exceptional Charge Efficiency

Lithium-ion cells have a low self-discharge rate compared to other rechargeable batteries. These battery packs are also technologically equipped through Battery Management System algorithms to lose less energy during the charge/discharge cycles. This enhances charge efficiency making it very suitable for high energy storage requirements such as EVs and solar energy storage systems.

8. High Cell Voltage and Discharge Power

Lithium-ion battery packs need fewer cells in a series string to generate the kind of voltage mandated for powering various devices. This high power cell property gives it an advantageous edge for powering EVs and renewable energy storage systems.

9. Quick Charging

The quick charging time of lithium-ion batteries make them the preferable option – be it for portable products like smartphones and tablets; or more composite products like EVs.

10. Customized Solutions

Lithium-ion batteries can be tailor-made to client’s needs. Where EVs are concerned the dimensions and cell configuration are customizable for optimum usage. Features like cathode chemistry and cell format, open up customizable options like using a variety of cathodes e.g. Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP), Lithium Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium (NCA) and Nickel-Cobalt-Manganese (NCM) – to power EVs.

Interested in joining the band of eco-warriors, and making your positive mark on the environment?

At Battrixx safety, energy efficiency, sustainable technology, environmental protection, and value for money – are deeply ingrained in our culture.
