How long can a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery last on a single charge?
Depending on usage, terrain, and load, this battery can power a golf cart for 20-30 miles or approximately 6-10 hours of operation. Its high energy efficiency and stable voltage output ensure consistent performance throughout the discharge cycle.
What advantages do LiFePO4 batteries offer over traditional lead-acid batteries?
LiFePO4 batteries are lighter, have higher energy density, longer cycle life (over 6000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge), faster charging, and superior thermal stability. They require less maintenance, have enhanced safety features, and provide more usable capacity than lead-acid batteries.
How does the Battery Management System (BMS) improve safety and performance?
The BMS continuously monitors voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge, protecting the battery from overcharge, over-discharge, overheating, and short circuits. It balances cell voltages, extends battery life, and triggers alarms or shutdowns under unsafe conditions.
What are the optimal charging and discharging parameters for this battery?
Charging is recommended between 0°C and 60°C with a maximum charge current of 50A. Discharging is effective from -20°C to 65°C, supporting continuous discharge currents up to 50A and peak currents up to 200A for short bursts.
How long is the typical lifespan and cycle life of a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery?
This battery typically offers over 6000 charge cycles at 80% depth of discharge, translating to a lifespan of 10 years or more, significantly outperforming traditional lead-acid batteries.
What applications are best suited for a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery?
Ideal for golf carts, electric scooters, tricycles, marine trolling motors, portable power stations, and solar energy storage systems, this battery delivers reliable, lightweight, and maintenance-free power.
How does Bluetooth or communication protocol enhance battery monitoring?
Integrated Bluetooth, RS485, and CAN bus protocols enable real-time monitoring of battery health, voltage, current, and temperature via mobile apps or remote systems, facilitating proactive maintenance and system optimization.
How does temperature protection improve battery performance?
Temperature protection prevents charging or discharging outside safe temperature ranges, avoiding damage and extending battery life. Some models include built-in heaters for sub-zero charging, ensuring reliable operation in cold climates.
What environmental conditions can a 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 battery withstand?
Designed for rugged use, this battery operates reliably between -20°C and 65°C and features an IP67-rated enclosure for dust and water resistance, suitable for harsh outdoor environments.
