How long is the cycle life and what is the expected service life?
The 80V 700Ah lithium battery offers over 3500 cycles at 70% DOD, with a design life of 5+ years under heavy-duty use. This longevity drastically reduces replacement frequency and total cost of ownership compared to lead-acid batteries.
How does the 80V 700Ah lithium battery compare to lead-acid alternatives?
Lithium batteries last 3–5 times longer, charge 3x faster (1–3 hours), and weigh 30–50% less than lead-acid. They require zero maintenance, support opportunity charging, and maintain high performance in extreme temperatures. Upfront costs are offset by reduced downtime, energy savings, and lower maintenance.
What are the charging, maintenance, and operational requirements?
The battery supports fast charging (0.5C CC/CV), operates from -20°C to 60°C, and is maintenance-free-no watering or equalizing needed. Use compatible chargers, avoid deep discharges, and store at 30–50% charge when idle for optimal lifespan. Terminals should be kept clean for best performance.
What certifications and safety standards does the battery meet?
The 80V 700Ah battery meets UN38.3, UL1642, IEC62619, and CE certifications. It features a metal shell, IP65 ingress protection, and advanced BMS for compliance with global safety and quality standards, ensuring safe operation in demanding industrial environments.
