Details
about how Lithionics Lithium-ion Batteries are Superior
to Lead Acid
|
|
|
#1)
Clean Voltage
|
Lithionics
lithium-ion batteries start at 12.8 Volts 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.
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 2% per month from
self discharge during storage. A lead acid battery loses
5% 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
almost all 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 your 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 2% 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 (you will have enough energy for 2 or
3 engine starts).
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 are no water levels
to fuss with.
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 much more Solar Power
with our Lithionics Lithium-ion Batteries.

Note
for Solar Power Charging/
General Charging:
All
Lithionics Battery 12 Volt lithium-ion batteries
require charging at 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 14.2 Volts to 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.
