3.What Kind battery do you use for solar lamp.
There are LifePO4 Battery and MnNiCO Lithium Battery for choosing.
LifePO4 battery is better choice for high-temperature ambient.
LiFePO4 is the safest, toughest and most cost effective form of lithium battery available today.
4.What is the lifetime of battery of solar street light?
As we know the lifetime of battery is limited as our mobile. If battery is full charged, and you use it few times one day, then you only need to charge it again after two days.If you use it a lot, then you have to charge it one day or sooner.
For our solar products, all battery normally are NCM battery with lifetime up to 1000 cycles. If you use 1 cycle one day, then the light will work well for 3 years without lighting performance compromised.
If we only use 50% of battery capacity, for example 30AH 12V (360WH), every day we only use 15AH 12V ( 130WH), then the light is supposed to work in good condition with a much longer lifetime up to 5~6 years.
5.Can the battery capacity increased?
Yes.The max power of battery for THOR is 2160WH with NCM battery and 680WH battery for HELIOS.
If you like to use 20W solar street light , but you think 24AH 12V battery is not big enough, then we can use 40AH 12V or 50AH 12V as big as you need. In this way, the biggest advantages of using bigger battery is the lifetime of light will be much extended for more years. And it will have a much better battery autonomy. It can work well continuously in rainy days.
