Frequently Asked Questions

Are your batteries safe, is there a fire risk?:

Our batteries utilize an ultra safe battery chemistry called Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP). This chemistry varies from other battery chemistries in the Lithium-Ion family, in that it is safe from thermal runaway. LiFePO4 chemistry batteries do not create excessive heat when discharged or charged too fast unlike their other Lithium-Ion counterparts. Additionally, we use the highest grade battery management system that is constantly monitoring battery parameters such as temperature, current, and voltage and will shut down and disable charging/discharging if limits are exceeded.

What are the benefits of using a Lithium-Iron Phosphate battery over a traditional lead acid or AGM battery?:

There are quite a few benefits of using lithium over a traditional lead acid or AGM type battery;

Weight - Lithium batteries typically weigh 60-70% less, so if you replace 3 group 31 lead acid batteries that weigh 70 lbs. each, and replace with 3x 100AH batteries you would be saving close to 138lbs, while increasing your runtime and avoid replacing them every 3-5 years.

Capacity - Lithium batteries carry a higher voltage for longer, meaning you get more power, all the way down to empty. unlike lead acid batteries which drop quickly in voltage as the power is consumed. this provides consistent motor or device power, all the way down to empty.

Charging - 5X faster charging compared to lead acid or AGM batteries.

Longer Lasting - Our Lithium Iron Phosphate cells have a life cycle of around 3000-5000 cycles, compared to around 500-800 for lead acid or AGM.

Zero Maintenance - No checking water levels, or messy filling every few months, No battery tenders needed. Out lithium batteries have a voltage drop of around 3% per month, meaning they can remain sitting, without the worry, and be ready for the next mission when you need them.
