Discover AES 42-48-6650 LiFePO4 Battery
SKU 42-48-6650
Discover LiFePO4 Li-Ion Battery
Discover AES 42-48-6650 LiFePO4 Battery
Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries provide 10X the energy storage capacity over lead acid batteries. Discover AES LiFePO4 battery energy storage systems will significantly outlast lead acid batteries and dramatically reduce energy storage costs over the life of their system.
With the Discover AES 42-48-6650 LiFePO4 battery and JUCE, SENTRY & AEON technologies what you see is what you get. Discover's 100% DOD battery ratings represent the actual usable energy output available from a fully charged battery. Discover Advanced Energy (AES) batteries allow for equipment design and functionality improvements and deliver productivity gains through enhanced cycling, charge time and weight reductions in stationary and mobile applications. Dramatic improvements in cycle life and charge efficiency combined with zero maintenance requirements provide the end user with significant cost of ownership savings.
Communication and coordination of up to 20 Discovery AES LiFePO4 batteries in parallel.
LiFePO4 Cycle vs Lead Acid
There is a big difference between the cycle of a LiFePO4 battery versus lead-acid. Lead acid manufacturers (including Discover) have conditioned you to look at “Temperature vs. Cycle Life” or “Cycle Life vs. Depth of Discharge (DOD)” graphs to indicate expected life or, more accurately, their remaining time to failure, and to overlook the “big elephant in the room”, which is that lead acid batteries start to lose their original capacity nearly the moment they are put into service and that the total available capacity in cycle 500 will be much less than the total available capacity in cycle 10.
Discover Advanced Energy (AES) batteries allow for equipment design and functionality improvements and deliver productivity gains through enhanced cycling, charge time and weight reductions in stationary and mobile applications. Dramatic improvements in cycle life and charge efficiency combined with zero maintenance requirements provide the end user with significant cost of ownership savings.
This Discover AES battery with AEON cycle life technology can be continuously operated in a partial State of Charge (SOC), or alternatively discharged and charged to 100% of its rated capacity without consequence. The Discover AES 42-48-6650 battery will provide > 90% of original energy storage capacity for a minimum of 10x that of a high-quality lead acid bank.
Discover Battery Management System
The Battery management System (BMS) and charge control system of Discover LiFePO4 batteries optimize charge current and voltage to safely recharge the battery at the highest and most efficient rate regardless of its state of charge.
Discover Battery Cost is Almost 1/2 That of Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries
Discover Li-ion batteries are compatible with Schneider Electric Conext Xanbus monitoring.
Efficient: Charge efficiency is greater than 95% resulting in reduced charge times, reduced energy bills and more from your solar PV panel array. Flooded batteries typically have an 85% charge efficiency.
Stable Voltage: Flat and stable voltage during discharge keeps your equipment running at full capacity.
Longer life: Lead-acid batteries are typically sized up to two times your energy needs to account for extended periods without sun and less usable energy with higher rates of discharge. Plus, you are typically cautioned to limit your use to 50% of the rated capacity, as using more can significantly reduce performance. A Discover LiPO4 battery will provide 100% of the rated capacity, regardless of the rate of discharge. And, you can use it all and still get substantially longer cycle life. 5 sets of flooded lead-acid batteries would be required to be equivalent to the lifespan of one set of the Discover 42-48-6650.
Double the Runtime: Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries have JUCE, doubling runtime and energy output over lead acid battery banks of the same capacity.
Discover AES LiFePO4 44-48-6650 Lithium Ion Battery Review
Discover AES saves more than 15% every time your system cycles over lead acid batteries.
With round-trip efficiency measured at >95%, MISER technology by Discover saves homeowners at least 15% of their stored energy capacity, each and every time they cycle their system when compared to high quality, lead acid battery options.
To borrow an old cliché, a penny saved is a penny earned. In the solar industry, inverter and module manufacturers have been competing around conversion efficiency since the turn of the century. They beat each other up mercilessly over fractions of % efficiency gains and, to their credit, the modules and inverters on the market today are far superior to what was available even 10 years ago.
There are three major component investments in any off-grid or micro-grid system. Current inverter and module technologies are nearly optimized for efficiency leaving batteries as the only component offering real, tangible improvement.
In the energy storage business, Round Trip Efficiency (RTE) is the measure of the energy wasted each and every charge/discharge cycle new high-quality lead acid battery have at best an 80% RTE, which can decline rapidly as the batteries age.
Discover AES Batteries w/ Miser Technology
Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries with MISER technology have the ability to save 1.5KWh in energy costs for every 10 KWh of energy storage, each and every cycle.
Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries with MISER technology allows homeowners to store and utilize the solar energy they harvest from their panels with >95% efficiency. Compare that to the best case 80% RTE of new lead and 60% RTE of aged lead acid batteries, and you can give the inverter guys a break for a while.
The industry aggressively contends that “life cycles” are the measure of a batteries quality versus the competition and its suitableness for energy storage use. A successful high quality lead acid battery bank will maintain its ability to deliver its original published capacity for 500 cycles (less than 18 months of daily cycling) only if the batteries are kept cool, not deeply discharged, recharged completely every cycle and watered regularly (flooded cells). In the real world, cycle counting is neither verifiable nor reflective of the real function of a battery bank, which is, storing energy.
Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries with AEON cycle life technology can be continuously operated in a partial State of Charge (SOC), or alternatively discharged and charged to 100% of its rated capacity without consequence. Discover AES LiFePO4 batteries will provide > 90% of original energy storage capacity for a minimum of 10x that of a high-quality lead acid bank.
