Expected Product Life
Freedom Lite is designed for optimal life cycle cost, which is a fraction of any other battery
technology available on the market, in particular from 25% to 35% of the lifecycle cost of
the range of lead acid and associated variants on the market. Please contact Freedom Won
if you would like more detailed information for comparison with lead acid batteries than
what is available on our web site.
Freedom Lite is expected to operate for about 16 years in a daily cycling scenario for more
than 6 000 cycles with an average of 80% DoD. For occasional cycling applications (for
typical load shedding for instance as is experienced in some countries) the service life
expected is 20 years or more.
For applications where the cost per kWh delivered by the battery during its lifetime is of
prime importance (i.e. maximum return on investment) we recommend that the battery be
sized for an average cycle discharge of 50% DoD. In a daily cycling scenario such as for
optimal solar self-consumption and off grid systems the expected service life is then 20
years or more than 7000 cycles. The defined end of life in this instance occurs when the
battery capacity falls to 60% of the new capacity.
