Trying to find a battery for your brand new application? Don’t settle for a solution that seems right at first and then fails to deliver the power you need. Large applications, like vehicles and solar energy grids, carry big performance demands. While the traditional, inexpensive lead acid battery might appear viable at first, lithium solutions provide more power for a longer period.
If you’re in the market for a new battery, you’ve probably read up on reasons why lithium is a better buy than lead acid. Equally important as the battery itself: the provider that services you. The provider you choose makes or breaks your energy experience. That’s because a strong provider doesn’t just move product. It takes the time and commits the resources necessary to make an intelligent product recommendation and service you long after initial contact.
Rarely is a lithium battery most effective when used off the shelf. Buyers looking for peak performance must consider a custom option. But how do you know when a custom lithium solution is right for you?
A lithium battery is more than a power storage unit. The battery you choose for your application affects performance, weight and safety profiles. Unsurprisingly, custom solutions provide better results than off-the-rack counterparts. But knowing exactly what you need isn’t always easy, and pairing an application with the wrong battery could lead to disastrous results and money wasted.
Here’s something you would never do: buy an expensive suit and leave the measurements untouched.
If you’ve researched lithium and lead acid batteries (or if you’ve been reading our previous blog posts), you know that lithium is the right choice for power applications requiring a strong life span, deep cycling capacity and maintenance-free operation. But what you might not know is that to see optimal results, customizing your lithium battery isn’t optional. It’s critical.
Lithium batteries are most commonly known for their mobile electronic applications. Many consumers are aware that lithium powers their mobile phone, laptop, tablet or other portable device. However, when it comes to larger applications – including traditional vehicles and watercraft – fewer consumers are aware of lithium’s benefits over traditional, lead acid units.
A good battery is more than just a power supply; it’s an investment. Choose the right battery for the job to get more out of your shiny new application.
