Balqon Corporation, a developer of heavy-duty electric vehicles, drive systems and lithium battery storage devices, has introduced high-capacity lithium-ion batteries as an alternative to the current industrial deepcycle lead acid batteries. —Balwinder Samra, CEO of Balqon Corporation.
Power comes from the combined energy of the truck starting batteries paired with four AGM deepcycle batteries located in the in-frame battery box. For service and maintenance requirements, the parking cooler and its components are easily accessible through convenient service panels.
ZAF’s system also fully supports 10-hour cycles for mandatory rest periods, regenerative braking, removes the need for engine driven accessories, and eliminates the possibility of alternator failures. The NiZn battery also reduces life cyclemaintenance costs by 50% due to idle reduction.
And besides technical improvements, the systems will need to be built to last, using materials that are safe and durable so that batteries could operate more than 15 years and require very little maintenance over their lifetime. 15 years) and a long cycle life (e.g., The need for storage. EES must have a long calendar life (e.g., >15
Overnight or deep-cycle discharge damages batteries, and high C rates degrade batteries because of the temperature created. times more life expectancy for a battery versus a deep-cycle charging approach. There’s ease of operations, ease of maintenance benefits. Our maintenance schedule is minuscule.
