LiFePO4 batteries pack a punch. Knocking out traditional lead acid batteries, LiFePO4 is the more efficient technology. Many manufacturers, businesses and individuals are making the switch and converting to custom lithium batteries. When you’re in charge of utilities and energy management at a university, your power needs are significant and varied. For example, you don’t only need electricity, but also a reliable energy source for backup power. During a power outage, students wouldn’t be safe if the emergency lighting in their dorms and classrooms were to fail. If you work for a renewable energy university, you also need a way to store solar power effectively. Lead acid batteries waste energy during charging, defeating your efficiency goals. For every storable energy need, lithium is the ideal battery solution. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have many uses in addition to providing backup power and energy for solar applications. In science and engineering departments, lithiu...

When customers are shopping for a marine battery, their priorities are reliability and a long life span. Batteries serve two basic purposes in the marine market: to start up a gas- or diesel-fueled engine, and to power an electric motor. In either situation, customers want a battery that lasts for years, and one that’s reliable every time they leave the dock. Using Marine Batteries With Gas-Powered Engines In boats with gas- or diesel-fueled engines, a marine battery is required to start the engine – much like the starter in an automobile. To be effective, the marine battery must be able to support small electronic loads throughout the day and still have enough energy to start the engine when the customer wants to go back to the dock. A variety of important systems use battery power to operate when the motor or engine are not running. These include bilge pumps, radios, depth finders, power poles, lights and sonar equipment. Loss of power to these navigational systems could put pa...

As you finalize your engineering and manufacturing decisions for your next line of boats, one question is probably growing in your mind: How well will my product sell? You may believe it’s too late to make major changes that improve performance, but think again. Your choice in a marine battery is crucial. Heavy lead acid batteries weigh your boat down, weakening its performance. Customers are going to recognize poor performance issues right away. And ultimately, bad product reviews hurt your sales. If you want to market a high-performance boat, you need an alternative to lead acid. The best marine battery for your application is a lithium-ion battery. Focus On Your Boat’s Performance Measures Customers judge your boat’s performance according to different factors, depending on how they use it. For example, individuals who race boats value speed. People who take their boats out fishing value maneuverability because they must navigate rocks and buoys. Those who go parasailing, wate...
