PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1
The Imperium Lithium 105Ah is a Lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4)
battery. This is the safest of the most important lithium-ion battery types.
Besides safety, the LiFePO4 technology is characterized by:
Minimal weight
Small dimensions
Low internal resistance
High efficiency
Excellent cycle performance
Large permitted temperature range
Almost constant Voltage throughout the entire discharge cycle
It is possible to use 100% of the capacity before the battery is empty
and switches itself off. This is in contrast to lead-acid batteries where
usually 50 - 60% of the capacity can be used before the battery needs
to be recharged.
All of which makes the battery the right choice for a wide range of
applications. Another big advantage compared to lead-acid batteries is
that the LiFePO4 battery does not need to be fully charged. A lead-acid
battery will fail due to sulphating if it is not fully charged for a long period
of time. The Imperium Lithium battery consists of 4 cells connected in
series with a nominal voltage of 3.2V which together form 12.8V.
An essential part of the LiFePO4 battery is its Battery Management
System (BMS). The BMS monitors the cells that make up the battery for
the following risks
Too deep discharge - A LiFePO4 cell will fail if the voltage is less than
2.5V. The BMS disconnects the battery before the cell voltage reaches
this point.
Overvoltage - If the cell voltage exceeds 3.65V during charging, the
BMS will stop the higher voltage. The BMS stops the charging process
before the cell voltage becomes too high.
