24V Lithium Batteries

FAQs

Q: What are the advantages of using Redodo 24V LiFePO4 batteries?

Redodo 24V lithium batteries are known for their lightweight construction, making them more portable than traditional lead-acid batteries, which require two 12V batteries connected in series. With over 4000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge (DOD), these 24V lithium ion batteries can potentially provide up to 10 years of use. In addition, their LiFePO4 chemistry provides enhanced safety, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway compared to other 24V lithium battery types.

Q: How long does a Redodo 24V LiFePO4 battery last?

The lifespan of a Redodo 24V lithium ion battery varies depending on the depth of discharge. At 100% DOD, it can last about 4000 cycles, but at 80% DOD, it increases to 6000 cycles and at 60% DOD can last up to 15000 cycles. These 24V deep cycle batteries are much more durable than standard lead-acid batteries, which typically last around 500 cycles. This makes Redodo's 24V lithium ion battery an ideal solution for long-term energy storage in boats, solar systems, and home energy, where longevity is a crucial factor.

Q: Can Redodo 24V batteries be used in series or parallel configurations?

Yes, Redodo 24V lithium ion batteries can be used in both series and parallel configurations to meet a variety of power needs. When connected in series, the voltage increases, which is ideal for higher-voltage systems. For example, connecting two 24V lithium batteries in series creates a 48V system. Parallel configurations, on the other hand, increase the amp-hour (Ah) capacity, which extends the runtime of the battery system. Redodo allows users to connect up to four 24V lithium battery units in parallel or up to two batteries in series, offering flexibility in designing custom power setups.

Q: How long does it take to charge a Redodo 24V battery?

The charging time for a Redodo 24V lithium ion battery depends on the battery's capacity and the charging current from the charger you are using. You can estimate the charging time by dividing the battery's capacity by the charging current, which gives you the time it takes to go from empty to fully charged. For example, using a Redodo 20A 24V LiFePO4 battery charger can fully charge a 100Ah battery in about 5 hours. It's crucial to use a charger designed specifically for 24V deep cycle battery LiFePO4 or lithium, and ensure it has a suitable charging voltage (between 28.4V and 29.2V) to prevent overcharging or damaging the battery cells.

Q: Is the Redodo 24V LiFePO4 battery waterproof?

Redodo 24V lithium ion batteries come with an IP65 rating, which means they are dust-tight and protected against water to handle marine and outdoor environments. However, it is advisable to install these 24V lithium batteries in a dry and protected environment to prevent long-term water damage. For marine or outdoor applications, placing the 24V li ion battery in a waterproof battery box ensures better protection against environmental factors.

Q: Are Redodo batteries compatible with solar systems?

Yes, Redodo 24V deep cycle batteries are highly compatible with solar energy systems. These 24V lithium ion batteries are perfect for storing solar energy because of their high efficiency and ability to handle deep cycles. When connected to solar panels, these 24V lithium batteries can charge efficiently during the day and supply consistent power during the night or cloudy days, making them ideal for off-grid solar setups or backup power systems.

Q: What safety features do Redodo LiFePO4 batteries have?

Redodo 24V lithium ion batteries come equipped with an advanced Battery Management System (BMS) that offers protection against overcharging, over-discharging, short circuits, overcurrent, and overheating. These features help ensure the safe operation of the 24V lithium battery, extending its life and providing peace of mind in various applications. The BMS in Redodo 24V deep cycle batteries constantly monitors battery performance, ensuring that it operates within safe limits under a variety of conditions.

Q: Can I use Redodo batteries in extreme temperatures?

Redodo 24V lithium batteries are designed to perform across a wide range of temperatures. They can be charged between 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and discharged between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). However, the capacity of the 24V deep cycle battery might degrade at extreme temperatures. To maximize the lifespan and efficiency of your 24V li ion battery, it’s recommended to use the battery within the specified temperature range, and ensure the battery temperature is between 10°C to 35°C during long-term storage.

Q: What is the weight of a Redodo 24V LiFePO4 battery?

The weights of Redodo 24V lithium batteries vary by model. For example, the Redodo 24V lithium battery in the 100Ah capacity weighs approximately 45.58lbs (20.67kg), while the 200Ah model weighs around 82.01lbs (37.2kg). Compared to traditional lead-acid batteries, these 24V lithium ion batteries are significantly lighter, making them easier to transport and install. This reduced weight, coupled with their high energy density, makes them a preferred choice for applications such as boats and off-grid solar systems.

Q: Can I use my Redodo 24V battery for starting engines?

No, the battery used for starting is a 12V battery system. Redodo 24V lithium ion batteries are designed for deep-cycle use and are not intended for starting engines. Engine starting requires a CCA, which is different from the steady power output provided by a 24V deep cycle battery. Using a 24V li ion battery for engine starting can lead to damage. For engine starting, it’s best to use a lithium starting battery like Redodo 12V marine cranking batteries.
