“There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.”

–John Ruskin

Our Company, The Electric Car Company of Utah, has spent a good deal of time evaluating various sources for lithium batteries. As it turns out there are quite a few lithium battery manufacturers. However, finding one source that is the best value for an Electric Vehicle is daunting. After a lot of e-mails and phone conversations we have concluded that the Lithium-ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery packs that we can offer through Energetech will give our customers the best value in performance, construction, energy density, longevity, price and delivery. We back that up with a two year warranty. In addition, lithium batteries need special care when being charged and discharged. Therefore, special due diligence has been exerted to find a superior Battery Management System ‘BMS’ which will assure the customer maximum battery life. We know the one thing that you want for your vehicle is a reliable battery pack that will assure you years of satisfactory driving pleasure.

The market for EV batteries is shifting quickly away from Lead-acid recently to favor Lithium-ion Phosphate. These batteries have higher energy storage without the dreaded “memory effects” of NiCad. That higher energy density allows for a battery that smaller in size and lighter in weight; they have a longer shelf life and a faster recharge time. They are environmentally friendly in composition (no heavy metals) and result in reduced lifetime energy costs due to no maintenance and increased charge cycles. Lithium-ion Phosphate batteries are made of non hazardous materials (won't explode) and are the safest batteries you can buy for your electric vehicle.

This YouTube video highlights the importance of buy batteries from a company that both produces quality products, and honors their warrantee:

Wikipedia states :

“Lithium-ion batteries can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes so as to efficiently fill available space in the devices they power. Lithium-ion batteries are lighter than other energy-equivalent secondary batteries—often much lighter. A key advantage of using lithium-ion chemistry is the high open circuit voltage that can be obtained in comparison to aqueous batteries (such as lead acid, nickel metal hydride and nickel cadmium). Lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from the memory effect. They also have a low self-discharge rate of approximately 0.1% per month, compared with over 30% per month in common nickel metal hydride batteries, approx. 1.25% per month for Low Self-Discharge NiMH batteries and 10% per month in nickel cadmium batteries...”

Some benefits of our Lithium-ion Phosphate batteries include:

  • High Discharge Rate Capability
  • Extraordinary Long Cycle Life: 5-7 years under 80% DOD, lifecycle is over 2000 times.
  • Has deep DOD (depth of discharge): Can be 95% fully discharged.
  • Wide working temperature range: From -25C-75C
  • These Lithium-ion Phosphate batteries are assembled in Utah by Energetech, a USA company. We can offer smaller packs like a 12v or 24v or 36v pack for installation convenience, or large combined packs such as a 144v or 156v pack. All batteries have screw top terminals and come with a 2 year warrantee. The lead time for delivery is usually 2 to 6 weeks depending on configuration. We are presently offering free shipping on battery orders.
