The UPS features Advanced Level 3 LFP with advanced BMS features:

Level 1 – Safety

  • Internal balancing and protection for battery cell & pack
  • The battery is certificated according to safety standards of UN 38.3, UL 1973, UL 1642, IEC 62619, and IEC 62133

Level 2 – Functionality & Performance

  • SOC and SOH management for keeping the battery life longer and the cost lower
  • The compact design of the lithium battery saves space
  • Advanced internal cell / pack / EBM balancing and protection ensures backup time and battery life
  • Long backup time with up to 4 EBMs
  • Auto-detection for easy configuration – auto addressing up to 4 EBMs

Level 3 – System synchronization with UPS:

  • Pre-alarm; SOC and SOH prediction
  • Multi-level protection in cell and battery pack level to ensure safety and reliability

Advantage of Lithium over Lead-Acid batteries

Lithium batteries offer significant advantages over lead-acid batteries, making them superior for many applications:

Extended Lifespan: Lithium batteries last 2-4 times longer, reducing replacement frequency and providing better long-term value.

Higher Energy Density: Store more energy in a smaller, lighter package, ideal for weight- and space-critical applications.

Rapid Charging: Significantly faster charging times minimize downtime and boost productivity.

Superior Efficiency: Higher efficiency rates with less energy loss during charge/discharge cycles, enhancing overall performance.

Maintenance-Free: Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries require no regular upkeep, increasing convenience and cost-effectiveness.

Superior Efficiency: Higher efficiency rates with less energy loss during charge/discharge cycles, enhancing overall performance.

Lower Self-Discharge Rate: Retain charge longer when not in use, ideal for intermittent applications.

These advantages make lithium batteries an exceptional choice for a wide range of applications. While the initial investment may be higher, the long-term benefits more than justify the cost, especially in performance-critical or heavy-usage scenarios.

Choose lithium batteries for increased reliability, efficiency, and long-term value.

When using EBM (up to 4x per UPS), the battery support time can be, for example, for a 3K VA UPS model from 10 hours (300 Watts load) to 1 hour (3K Watts load), for a 1K VA UPS model from 15 hours (100 Watts load) up to almost 2 hours (1K Watt load).

UPS VFI 1000-3000 LICR IoT are expected in Ukraine in the fourth quarter of Y2024.
