C-rate
Why your Battery Size might be wrong! A look at C-rates.
Are you certain you have the right battery size in relation to your inverter? Follow the steps below to check your battery size (We will only focus on Lithium LiFePO4 batteries in this tutorial). First of all, find all the technical specifications or data-sheets of your equipment, and then follow these steps:Step 1: Determine the capacity of your inverter in kW (kiloWatt).Step 2: Determine the capacity of your battery in kWh and Ah.Step 3: Determine the C-Rate of your battery. Step 1: Determine the capacity of your inverter in kW (kiloWatt)....
How to choose your Lithium battery
How to choose your Lithium Battery: A Lithium battery is often the most expensive element in a solar installation, and as a battery is a long term investment, it is important to take into account all aspects of a battery before buying. There are a number of parameters that are important to consider when buying batteries, for example: Voltage and capacity charge / discharge rate (C-rate) Depth of Discharge (DoD%) Life span, warranty and (local) back-up support Expandability Mounting other Voltage and...
