Technical Definitions

Lead-based AGM

Lead-based batteries remain the most widely used battery technology to date. With the introduction of AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology, it has become maintenance free for the lifetime of the battery. With the introduction of solar technology, the lead-based battery has become a reliable and very cost efficient storage device for this type of deep cycling application.

Battery pack operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C

Lithium-ion based battery packs have the added advantage that they have a higher power density than lead, which means they have more available power for the same mass of a lead battery. This advantage, combined with the longer life expectancy and higher rate of depth of discharge (DOD), offering an attractive option for solar lighting applications, resulting in a longer battery lifetime. Our renowned Tier 1 branded cells ensure the highest quality product. In addition, all Lithium-ion battery packs have an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) which monitors the health, charging and discharging of the battery pack. This safeguards the cells so that they are not over charged or discharged, maximising their lifetime. Battery pack operating temperature: -20°C to +50°C
