Details
about how Lithionics Lithium-ion Batteries are
Superior
to Lead Acid Batteries
|
|
|
#1)
Clean Voltage
|
Lithionics
lithium-ion batteries start at 12.8 Volts or higher
and continue at that voltage with NO VOLTAGE SAG
until the very end of the cycle. As a result power
features such as power windows, power door locks
and electric relays operate faster and smoother.
ALL ELECTRONICS, including Starters and Alternators
will DOUBLE THEIR LIFE-SPAN.
Lead
Acid batteries start at 12 Volts and suffer "Voltage
Sag" to 11V, then 10V, then lower. This puts a
terrible strain on Electronics by feeding them
"Brown" Voltage.

#2)
Light Weight
|
Our
lithium-ion batteries typically weigh just 10
to 20 lbs Versus 45 to 60 pounds for lead acid
batteries. A lighter car is ALWAYS better. This
improves handling and performance and helps reduce
tire and suspension wear. This is just one reason
why Race Car Teams spend big money to reduce weight.
A
typical lead acid battery weighs 50 to 60 lbs.
Not only is this heavy to pick up, this weight
is added to your car effecting its performance,
handling and adding to the wear and tear of shocks
and tires.

#3)
Long Life**
|
Our
lithium-ion batteries typically have a 10 YEAR
SERVICE LIFE and a 20 YEAR WORKING LIFE. What
this means that one of our batteries equipped
with our NeverDie Protection System should last
10 years. After 10 years, we can rebuild your
Lithionics Battery to last another 10 years, for
a total of 20 Years!
Our
lithium-ion batteries last 2,000 to 3,000 charge
cycles at 80% depth of discharge and close to
5,800 cycles at 50% depth of discharge. Lithium-ion
does not sulfate which means that a fully discharged
lithium-ion battery can sit for a year with no
harm to the battery. Have the peace of mind by
eliminating a potential failure in your vehicle
for many years.
A
typical lead acid battery has 200 to 300 charge
cycles before the battery begins to lose charge
efficiency, voltage and capacity. When this happens,
the battery becomes weaker and weaker and typically
needs to be replaced. Also, if a lead acid battery
is not used it may "sulfate" and need to be replaced
much sooner.

#4)
Reliable
|
Lithionics
lithium-ion batteries only lose less than 3% per
month from self discharge during storage. A lead
acid battery loses 5% per month. Thus, our lithium-ion
battery can sit for over 1 year with over 75%
of its energy stored and ready to crank your engine.
Since
vehicles have what is called a "Parasitic Drain",
we recommend our optional NeverDie System if your
vehicle needs to be stored for several months
at a time before uses.
Many
things can cause early death to a lead acid battery
which can leave you stranded at inconvenient times.
High temperatures and storage (as little as 90
days) are among the most common reasons for lead
acid battery premature death.

Never Dies
- With NeverDie
Technology
|
With
our Patented "NeverDie Technology", if an accessory
such as an internal light or the headlights were
left on, our battery will enter "Sleep Mode" and
retain 3% of the battery's energy. Simply push
the button on the battery (or on the wireless
remote) and the battery "wakes up" and is ready
to start the engine.
Our
proprietary Mosfet bridge circuitry prevents over-discharging
the battery and as a result, no harm is done to
the battery. The result is that you will never
be left stranded or in need of a jump start.
Human
error, such as leaving a light on, can drain a
lead acid battery, leaving you stranded. This
also harms the lead acid battery and shortens
its life.

#6)
No Maintenance*
|
Our
lithium-ion batteries save you time. Completely
sealed with no water levels to check and fill.
Our
batteries use brass terminals that reduce corrosion
at terminal posts which means no mess. *Note:
It is important to charge your battery once a
month to ensure the longest life. Running your
engine, a smart lithium-ion charger or a solar
charge are all great ways to top up your lithium-ion
battery once a month to ensure you get the most
out of your Lithionics battery.
The
water levels in lead acid batteries constantly
need to be checked and filled. Also, the lead
terminals are continuously corroding and need
to be cleaned. When these maintenance procedures
are not followed, the battery may fail at any
time.

RoHS
Compliant Lithium-ion Battery

Environmentally
"Green"
Lithium-ion Battery
|
|
Have
the satisfaction of knowing that with a Lithionics
Battery, you have contributed to a healthier environment.
Our batteries are an Environmentally
Friendly, Green Battery that are RoHS compliant.
In
the USA alone, nearly 99 million lead acid car
batteries are produced each year. A typical lead
acid battery contains about 18 lbs. of lead. Lead
is a known poison that is harmful to the environment.
Solar
Power:
Our
lithium-ion batteries are the perfect choice for
all Solar Power battery applications. Our
lithium-ion batteries are 97% efficient round-trip
Versus lead acid batteries that are only
55% to 85% efficient. This means you harvest far
more Solar Power with our Lithionics Lithium-ion
Batteries.
Note
for Solar Power Charging:
All
Lithionics Battery 12 Volt lithium-ion batteries
require charging at 14.4 Volts and "float
charging" at 13.4 Volts. Thus, it is important
that your solar power controller has a high voltage
cutoff and that your solar power system is capable
of charging at 14.4 Volts and "float charging"
at 13.4 Volts. Please
consult and confirm these requirements before
ordering. These requirements also apply to battery
chargers and generators used for recharging our
lithium-ion batteries.
