Expected Product Life
The Freedom LiTE is designed for optimal life cycle cost and expected to operate for about
16 years in a daily cycling scenario for more than 5 500 cycles with an average of 70% DoD.
For occasional cycling applications 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.
Operation withing the temperature guidelines and C-rates is important for achieving long
service life
