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. 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 1% to 3% per month from
self discharge during storage. A lead acid battery loses
5% to 15% 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. The
optional NeverDie System also extends the Warranty.
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.

#5)
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. In fact, our batteries
contain no liquid whatsoever, so there's no need to waste
time monitoring battery water levels like in the past.
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.

Environmentally
Friendly
|
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 a lot 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 14.2 Volts to 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.
