Flux Power Introduces Safe Lithium Battery and Charging Systems for Industrial, Solar, EV, Wind and Peak-Shaving Power Applications
SAN DIEGO - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Flux
Power Incorporated introduced its new safe lithium batteries as well
as its new 12-450v ruggedized and environmentally protected AC-DC
charger. These high power products are meant to serve as backbone
technology for the EV, Solar, Wind, Industrial and Peak-Shaving
industries.
"I'm excited we are launching the most advanced and complete power
system we've seen in the energy industry. By allowing adaptive charge
capabilities and system-wide communication, Flux's new devices will
optimize the health and life of each battery cell," said Joseph
Gottlieb, CTO. "Our data collection and cell metrics allow for extended
warranties and determining the residual value of a cell after primary
use which creates an opportunity for battery leasing options."
Flux Power's LiFePO4 family of products offer great energy density,
discharge ability, communications, redundant safety and life cycle
tracking at an affordable price. Each 12v pack comes with an integrated
Battery Management System featuring Flux Power's "Cell Guard" technology
which monitors the individual cells within the battery. Voltage,
temperature, charge and discharge cycles are all monitored with "Cell
Guard" and managed to dramatically extend the life of each lithium cell
in the system. This management has been shown to extend the life of Flux
Powers' Lithium cells by four to five times versus an unmanaged system.
Flux Power's system also records every charge and discharge cycle that
each cell sees through over its lifetime. This unique tracking enables
instant identification of any cell deficiencies and allows extended
warranties on the complete system. In addition, the new Flux Power
12-450v charger is a ruggedized and environmentally protected AC-DC
charging solution that can be easily adapted to many applications. This
charger features a dual CAN Bus Interface and can be run as a single
unit in a variable output mode up to 3.3kW or stacked to provide more
than 50kW of charging power.
"With these new products, Flux Power is now able to supply its clients
with safe, powerful and cost effective solutions to almost any energy
storage application," said Chris Anthony, CEO. "Creating innovative
products to help the industry become more efficient - and more
environmentally friendly - is something Flux will continue to do as
demand for these technologies grows."
