Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries

Howard Medical introduces a battery system based on Lithium-Iron-Phosphate technology on its carts. Combined with the electrical components of Tripplite, which were specially designed for this battery technology, the whole system offers a very reliable, efficient and above all sustainable solution. Compared to traditional lead acid batteries, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries last 10 times longer. After 2500 times discharging and recharging, there is still 80% of the original capacity available.

Some advantages:

• Can be recharged thousands of times before it is necessary to replace the battery;
• After only 12 minutes charging the cart has a runtime of 1 hour;
• In 2 hours charging the battery capacity is 90%
• Battery life is barely dependent on charging behavior
• Can withstand regular full battery discharge
• During charging no gasses are produced as with lead-acid batteries
• No risk of fire or explosions as with lithium-ion
• Uses no heavy metals
• Longer life span than SLA, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries
• Lithium-Ion batteries weigh much less than lead batteries with a similar capacity
