You may have heard it said that lithium batteries are inherently unsafe because if they are overcharged they can catch fire. You may have also heard it said that a certain type of lithium battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery, also known as an LiFePO4 or LFP battery, is safer. It sounds (as it should) that these statements are somewhat incompatible with each other. This short post will...

Power is something many of us take for granted until it suddenly disappears. Whether you’re living off-grid by choice or in a region where storms, earthquakes, or other natural events can disrupt electricity, having a reliable energy source makes a world of difference. That’s where a solar backup battery comes in. Reliable Power When the Grid Goes Down In areas vulnerable to natural...

Lithium iron phosphate batteries, also known as LiFePO4 or simply as LFP batteries, are changing the way people think about lithium batteries. They offer potentially superior performance when compared to other lithium batteries, and are considerably safer. This short post will explain the key differences. It’s All About Lithium Battery Chemistry Unlike other lithium batteries, such as...

If you’ve ever walked through a resort, a university campus, or even a large warehouse, you’ve probably noticed one thing: golf carts are everywhere. They move staff, supplies, and sometimes even guests across long distances quickly and efficiently. For these organizations, carts are an essential part of daily operations.
