Solar panels are an alternative energy source for commercial and residential premises. If you have panels installed, then you also have lithium-battery units installed. The battery will trap the harnessed energy for power backup.

• Simple DIY steps help the Lithium Battery perform better than expected

• It is important to keep the battery in perfect working condition

• Simple hacks help ensure the battery unit performs to its peak potential limits

Deep discharging factor

Lithium-grade battery units are designed to keep performing for years. It is important to ensure that the battery units are never allowed to discharge to their full capacity. You should keep the battery connected to the charging unit if it is at 20 percent charge capacity. You should never allow the battery unit to drain to charge a hundred percent. Deep discharge is never advisable for a battery unit if used in solar panels.

Perfect charge setup

Before you start using the battery units, it is important to get familiar with lithium chemistry. This factor is related to the charge controller unit. Proper voltage setting will make a difference in battery performance. You need to consult the battery manufacturer. It is also advisable to focus on avoiding over-charging the battery unit. Lithium battery 12.8V manufacturer's manual can be collected when you purchase a new unit.

Regulate battery-unit temperature

When you are using battery units, the degradation factor is always at a faster rate. When the battery is used, it will produce heat. The temperature of the unit should always be managed at an optimal range. For any battery unit, it is advisable to focus on a 35 °C to 15 °C temperature range. If the solar panel is connected to a battery unit, then ensure that the unit is placed indoors. An exposed battery unit will get overheated when exposed to sunlight.

Built-in BMS feature

Any factor in excess should be avoided if you need high performance. The battery unit may easily get overheated, charged, or discharged when in use. The over factor has to be regulated in time. This can improve the battery performance. It is important to consider battery cell imbalance when in use. An advanced Solar Panel Cable Clip and BMS system means that the battery should have a life span of 10 or more years.

You also need to keep in mind that the battery unit should not be connected to the charger full-time. This practice will only overheat the battery unit. High current charging can simply affect the performance of the battery. You should keep the battery unit in top condition.
