Latest news, guides, and articles about battery storage. We write about lithium-ion, LiFePO4, and more.
The principal benefit of lithium ion batteries is their ability to store large amounts of energy in a relatively small space. Lithium ion batteries have the added benefit of having an extremely high depth of discharge compared to lead acid batteries. This is why lithium ion batteries are generally the only type of battery to use for energy storage.
For energy storage applications, nominal voltages of 12, 24, and 48 are used. This generally means that the batteries in the energy storage system will generally be in either a 3S (4S for LFP), 7S, or 13S series configuration. Energy storage batteries generally have an amp hour rating of 100 Ah or more, but smaller energy storage batteries can be made.
Articles in this category will revolve around long term energy storage, electrical preparation techniques, high capacity battery packs, and various series and parallel battery configurations.

In this article, we will go over all the things you need to know and look out for when shopping for lithium-ion battery cells or lithium-ion battery packs. We will also touch on where not to get lithium-ion battery cells.
When choosing a BMS for a lithium-ion battery, the most important aspect to consider is the maximum current rating of the BMS. In addition to that, you need to make sure the BMS supports the correct number of series cell groups.
When used properly, lithium-ion batteries are a safe, high-density power source for electronic devices, vehicles, and more. When not used properly or when poorly designed or improperly implemented, however. lithium-ion batteries can be dangerous or even life-threatening.
If you want to know how to test 18650 cells, you are in the right place. Testing cells is one of the most important steps in preparing salvaged 18650 cells for reuse.
In this article, we will cover what lithium-ion cells are in and where to find them. We will also go over how to remove, test, sort, and charge salvaged 18650 cells. Let's get started!
In a perfect world, a lithium ion battery pack would last forever. In the real world, however, battery packs are known to degrade over time. Keep reading to learn how to get more cycles out of your lithium ion cells.
