High Discharge Rate Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Battery
The 12 volt, 7.2 amp high discharge rate hour LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery is designed to be a drop in replacement for standard sealed lead acid batteries in UPS, alarm, and other similar applications that are 151 x 65 x 94 millimeters (5.94 x 2.56 x 3.7 inches) in size. It consists of an internal BMS (battery management system) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells enclosed in standard UPS battery form factor for plug and play use. The maximum continuous discharge rate per battery at 12 volts DC is 45 amps (540 watts). This is much higher than other LiFePO4 batteries in the same form factor which is why this battery is rated as "high discharge". The two main advantages of this LiFePO4 battery over sealed lead acid batteries are the significant reduction in weight and extreme (10x or more) increase in cycle life. For example, in most UPS (uninterruptible power supply) lead acid batteries have a 200-300 cycle life and last between 3-5 years. This LiFePO4 battery has a
