ULTRALIFE Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry is the clear choice for batteries which must operate for many years without the need for servicing or replacement. The similar charging voltage means that ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries can usually be transplanted into existing lead acid applications without modification.

When it comes to maintenance the ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries out perform traditional Lead Acid batteries on nearly every measure; they never require topping with water, they don’t require gas extraction facilities and their service life is usually 5 to 7 years, compared with around 2 years for Lead Acid batteries.

The ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries are an affordable solution to many issues, especially in remote locations, while providing a much lower “total cost of ownership” solution over traditional Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) - when you also factor in the logistics and labor to replace SLA every 1-2 years, Lithium Iron Phosphate is an all-round winner.

The inclusion of fuel gauging on products such as the URB12400-U1-SMB now means the battery can accurately communicate its state of charge to your device, enhancing the user experience.

THE CLEAR CHOICE

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries are three times lighter than lead acid batteries of the same energy. By replacing your lead acid batteries with ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries, you’ll significantly reduce the weight of your existing system or get three times the energy if weight reduction isn’t a factor.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries contain built-in protection electronics to prevent over-charge, over-discharge or over-temperature. This protection lets the battery take care of itself, making them safe and robust for a myriad of mission critical applications.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries can be fully cycled, from 100% charged to 100% discharged, up to 1500 times compared to just 300-500 for the best ‘cyclic’ lead acid batteries.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries can be connected in a variety of series and parallel arrays to customize system voltage and/or capacity. This building block approach makes it easy meet your application requirements. Please contact us for application advice.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries can often be charged using an existing lead acid battery charger which makes switching to a high performance ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 battery a true ‘drop-in’ replacement. Please contact us to discuss.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries have significantly better charge retention then lead acid batteries. Maintenance charging only has to be performed once every four to six months – saving energy and reducing cost.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries can be mounted in any orientation and do not require any physical maintenance.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries meet the requirements of strict internationally recognized standards such as IEC 62133:2012 (safety) and UN38.3 (transportation). Specific models also meet UL 2054 (safety). Full certification documentation is available upon request.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries contain active cell balancing circuitry which works to maximize battery capacity on each and every cycle.

¾ ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries have a service life of up to 7 years, helping commercial and industrial customers avoid the regular replacement costs associated with Lead Acid batteries.

Discharge Capacity (Ah)

This practical example shows the outstanding performance of ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 batteries compared to traditional lead acid batteries.

The chart shows the room temperature discharge performance of a 12V 7Ah lead acid battery from a leading manufacturer. The battery voltage drops steadily during

discharge and fails to meet its rated capacity, even at a benign 350mA (0.05C) discharge rate. When the battery is subjected to higher loads of 1400mA (0.2C) and 5000mA (0.7C) the voltage drops is more severe and the delivered capacity is severely reduced. As delivered energy (Watt Hours) is calculated by multiplying Voltage (V) by Discharge Capacity (Ampere hours) the resulting ‘area under the curve’ is severely compromised at these higher discharge rates.

By comparison, the ULTRALIFE LiFePO4 URB1270 is the same size as its lead acid equivalent but half of the weight. This battery exhibits a consistently flat voltage profile throughout

its discharge until energy is depleted. This superior performance characteristic is maintained, even at higher discharge currents which means more energy is delivered. In the 5000mA load test, the URB1270 delivers more than twice the energy of the lead acid battery which proves its capability to outperform lead-acid in power demanding applications.
