U.S Battery ESSENTIAL Li® Range Hits the Market
We are delighted to bring U.S Battery’s new ESSENTIAL Li® Lithium-ion batteries to Australia and New Zealand. This exclusive series consists of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries that have been developed with safety at the forefront. ESSENTIAL Li® batteries are available in 12V, 24V and 48V sizes to suit golf carts, utility vehicles and many other industrial applications.
The key feature of ESSENTIAL Li® batteries is its LiFePO4 chemistry which is widely regarded for its safety profile. Among the many different types of Lithium chemistries available on the market, LiFePO4 is one of the safest chemistries as it is not susceptible to thermal runaway. Other noteworthy features include a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) that uses intelligent algorithms to help ensure accurate State of Charge (SoC), delivers advanced cell balancing and enhanced fault detection for optimal performance. These batteries are a long-lasting, lightweight and maintenance-free alternative to conventional lead acid batteries and are designed to be “the only battery you need.”
