AMSTERDAM, November 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Electric Fuel, a globally recognized manufacturer of
professional batteries, will launch its energy-high power density
lithium iron phosphate marine battery at the METSTRADE Show, which
will take place in RAI Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, on November 14-16,
2017.
The new battery is designed as a drop-in replacement for
traditional lead-acid batteries in various marine and professional
vehicle applications.
The marine battery, as well as the company's high-end emergency
life jacket lights, will be presented at Electric Fuel's stand
12.301.
Electric Fuel's standard LiFePO4 batteries offer high energy
density, thus offering twice the energy of an equivalent lead-acid
battery. The new battery also offers an extended operational life
of up to 5,000 charging cycles.
The battery is designed to serve a wide range of professional
applications in tough marine environments where reliable and clean
energy is required.
The batteries have the following advantages:
- Up to 5,000 cycles, enabling usage for 10 years
- Internal BMS provides safe and protected operation (including
over-discharge protection and auto shut-off)
- LED State of Charge indicator and remote Bluetooth
monitoring
- Fast charging - approximately 1 hour to full charge
Based on lithium iron phosphate electrochemistry, together with
its integrated battery management system, the cost-effective
battery delivers high power and extended life cycle at the highest
safety standards.
"Our vast experience in developing batteries for the military
market enables us to present the marine market with robust and
high-performance batteries that offer a real alternative to both
standard lead acid, gel and AGM batteries," said Ronen Badichi,
president of Electric Fuel. "In the long run, our batteries offer a
much better return on investment than any other solution currently
on the market."
Electric Fuel's line of automatic, water-activated, flashing
lifejacket lights includes models offering bright LED lighting
based on lithium or alkaline cell chemistries. The lights feature a
compact design for easy stowage and are lightweight, easy to
transport and are SOLAS, MED and USCG approved.
