Type of Batteries we provide

There are three types of  battery mainly used for solar energy storage
applications. Below is a summary of the most trusted technologies
currently on the market : Lithium-ion (LMO, NMC, NCA, LFP)  Lead acid (Flooded, VRLA) and GEL Batteries

Lead Acid Solar Battery

Lead acid batteries are built with a number of individual cells containing layers of lead alloy plates immersed in an electrolyte solution, typically made of 35% sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and 65% water Pure lead (Pb) is too soft and would not support itself, so small quantities of other metals are added to get the mechanical strength and improve electrical properties. The most common additives are antimony (Sb), calcium (Ca), tin (Sn) and selenium (Se). When the sulphuric acid comes into contact with the lead plate, a chemical reaction is occurring and energy is produced.

Gel Battery

A gel battery has the same design and functionality as a traditional lead-acid battery. The two batteries differ because solar gel batteries also contain silica in the electrolyte, which creates a gel-like substance. The gel electrolyte prevents the solar gel batteries from emitting as many fumes as the traditional battery. A gel battery is also easy to install in various positions because of its stability. All solar gel batteries are deep-cycle batteries, which are different from automotive batteries you see in vehicles, also known as starting, lighting, and ignition (SLI) batteries. Automotive batteries use very thin lead plates to produce a burst of energy. That surge helps the battery start your car quickly but would cause serious problems if hooked up to solar panels On the other hand, deep-cycle batteries use thicker lead plates to create energy more evenly and slowly. They last longer than SLI batteries, and you can wire them together easily to create a battery bank. This feature makes deep-cycle batteries ideal for solar panel installations.

longer service life than conventional batteries

Built with advanced Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) technology, the Well manufactured batteries feature 99% pure lead plates that are extremely thin, so more of them fit in the battery. More plates means more power – twice as much as conventional batteries, plus three times the service life. Thanks to sealed, design, the batteries are virtually maintenance-free and never require watering. Massive starting power: engine cranking pulses up to 2700 amps for five seconds Extreme temperature tolerance: -40°F (-40ºC) to 140°F (60°C) for non-metal jacket models; -40°F (-40°C) to 176°F (80°C) for metal jacket models Longer life: 8 to 10 years design life ; 5-10-year service life Vibration resistant: protection against high-impact shock and vibration

Lithium Batteries

Solar batteries are deep cycle batteries that need to accomplish 2 things: Reliability and Security. Lithium is the best source of energy nowadays, because its the most stable type of lithium, stores more energy than any other kind of lithium and Lead acid battery, plus its the most secure to have in our homes and businesses. Our battery is the lowest priced energy source on the long run, cheaper than lead acid batteries, because it can store almost 50% more energy than Lead acid batteries and can work between 5,000 and 8,000 cycles vs 500 cycles of lead acid batteries. It is better to use the right system for your application, than connecting batteries in series or parallel. Let us know your KW solar array and we can help you purchase the right system for your solar application.
