Design Considerations for a Lithium-Ion Energy Storage System

Commercial applications for Lithium Ion Reserve Power Systems are emerging for niche applications that have traditionally utilized lead acid or nickel based systems. Lithium-ion systems are higher in energy density than traditional systems, but are hybrid in nature since they include both lithium-ion cells and electronic controls. The hybrid nature of the systems, require unique design, development, and testing considerations for system developers. They also present new variables that the end user must consider when evaluating and purchasing these new technology products.
