Service life even slightly improves in case of partial charge instead of a full charge. This is a major advantage of LFP compared to lead-acid. Other advantages are the wide operating temperature range excellent cycling performance low internal resistance and high efficiency (see below).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLFP is therefore the chemistry of choice for demanding applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEfficient\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn several applications (especially off-grid solar and\/or wind) energy efficiency can be of crucial importance. The round-trip energy efficiency (discharge from 100% to 0% and back to 100% charged) of the average leadacid battery is 80%. The round-trip energy efficiency of a LFP battery is 92%.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe charge process of lead-acid batteries becomes particularly inefficient when the 80% state of charge has been reached resulting in efficiencies of 50% or even less in solar systems where several days of reserve energy is required (battery operating in 70% to 100% charged state). In contrast a LFP battery will still achieve 90% efficiency under shallow discharge conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize and weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaves up to 70% in space Saves up to 70% in weight\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpensive?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLFP batteries are expensive when compared to lead-acid. But in demanding applications the high initial cost will be more than compensated by longer service life superior reliability and excellent efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith Bluetooth cell voltages temperature and alarm status can be monitored.

Up to 5 batteries can be paralleled and up to four 12V batteries or two 24V batteries can be series connected so that a 48V battery bank of up to 1500Ah can be assembled. The cell balancing\/monitoring cables can be daisy-chained and must be connected to a Battery Management System (BMS).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":59814877790542,"sku":"792-BAT512110610","price":659.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/8914\/9006\/files\/bat512110610.jpg?v=1780678019","url":"https:\/\/southernyachtelectrics.store\/products\/victron-lifepo4-battery-12-8v-100ah-smart","provider":"Southern Yacht Electrics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
