MLS Series Lithium-Ion Battery

The MLS series has been developed with technology taken from the hugely successful MLI Ultra series. Although tailored for different types of applications, the MLS share many of the same characteristics making them ideal for applications where long lifespan, light weight and compactness are key. Lithium Ion has many advantages over lead-acid, meaning the MLS series can fast recharge in an hour, and deep cycle (up to 80 % discharge) 2,000 times without damage, which is three times longer than traditional lead-acid. Also for MLS the safest Lithium Ion chemistry available (LiFePO4) is used. The MLS has an integrated battery management system including a safety disconnect which protects the battery from deep discharging, overcharging and overheating. The products make an ideal energy storage solution, and create an optimal entry point into the world of Lithium Ion. The MLS series is designed to be extremely easy to install without any additional components. All the models comprise of a tough waterproof plastic case. This makes it a straight-forward replacement for most existing lead-acid batteries.

Features:

• Straight-forward replacement for most existing lead-acid batteries.
• Saves up to 70 % in space and weight.
• Three times the lifespan of traditional lead-acid batteries (2000 cycles).
• Charged & ready for use within an hour.
• Reliable operation ensured by an integrated Battery Management System (BMS)
• Passive balancing and automatic safety disconnect.
• Safest Lithium Ion chemistry available (LiFePO4).
• Tested and certified according to UN38.3.
