12V Lithium Battery with integrated Battery Management System (BMS)

Dec. 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Lithium batteries are more powerful and provide more energy for high consumption than traditional lead–acid batteries. They can be discharged with up to 80% compared to the traditional 30% to 50% without damaging the battery and are charged extremely fast, in down to 50 minutes for a 12V – 100Ah lithium battery.

Lithium battery packs are built of a number of individual lithium cells which must all maintain the same voltage for the battery to stay functional.

The integrated Battery Management System (BMS) ensures a long lifetime, safe handling 
–and high-accuracy State of Charge (SOC) calculations.

Therefore, all 12V lithium batteries from Clayton Power have an integrated Battery Management System (BMS) that automatically balances the cells during charge, discharge and in idle mode. The BMS monitors the voltage and temperature of each lithium ion cell which influences the functionality of the battery.

- Most accidents involving lithium batteries happen because of overcharging – the BMS from Clayton Power prevents overcharging.

- Through accurate SOC calculations the BMS protects the lithium cells against deep discharge.

- The BMS automatically reacts to shorts by turning off and restarting to prevent hazardous situations.

The 12V lithium batteries from Clayton Power can be charged from the mains via a G3 combined inverter/charger, an alternator while driving or from other power sources.
