Titan LiFePO4 Expansion Battery - Point Zero Energy

What kind of cells does the LiFePO4 battery utilize?

The new Titan LiFePO4 battery utilizes cells made from lithium iron phosphate.

What benefits does the LiFePO4 battery offer?

The LiFePO4 battery is advantageous due to its high cycle life ranging from 3000 to over 4000 cycles depending on the external conditions. These extended charge/discharge cycles surpass other lithium battery technologies, making LiFePO4 a preferred choice for long-lasting off-grid systems.

What is the major limitation of the LiFePO4 battery?

A prominent drawback of LiFePO4 batteries lies in their lower energy density leading to higher weight as compared to other lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, their charging efficiency may decrease at extremely low temperatures.

What's the cycle lifespan of a LiFePO4 battery?

The standard cycle life for LiFePO4 batteries is roughly 3,500 cycles with 80% remaining capacity. Some manufacturers may advertise their products to last for up to 6,000 cycles at 50% remaining capacity; however, this is more of a marketing strategy rather than an actual extension in battery life.

Does the LiFePO4 battery need regular maintenance?

LiFePO4 batteries, like all lithium-ion batteries, do not demand any maintenance. A battery management system (BMS) is integrated into each battery, which helps in monitoring the cell voltages, currents, and temperatures to maintain safety and longevity.

Can I combine different battery chemistries with the Titan Power Station?

Certainly, the Titan Power Station permits the integration of various battery chemistries, although a reprogramming is needed to utilize the new smart A/C charger.

What steps are necessary to completely charge my battery and recalibrate my meter?

To achieve full charge and compel your meter to recalibrate, you have two options: 1 - Discharge the battery to a voltage below 26.0V, and subsequently, the solar or A/C charger will raise the voltage to 28.8V for calibration. 2 - Employ your NMC charger to reach 28.8V, however, avoid prolonged connection. If your setup includes only LiFePO4 batteries, charge them using the A/C charger or solar power. Once the battery reaches 27.2V and the charging rate falls below 50 watts, manually calibrate the meter to 100% by holding down the up arrow for 3 seconds.

When should the power button on the LiFePO4 battery be used?

Before connecting the battery to other batteries or power modules, the power button on the battery should be switched off. It must remain on while the power is being used. Even when connected to batteries without a power switch, the LED light will not switch off, but this is okay as it consumes very little power. To prevent battery drain, disconnect the battery during prolonged storage.

Why does the LED light on the LiFePO4 battery stay on even after turning it off?

The LED light on the battery remains on as long as power is present. If the battery is linked to another battery that is either on or lacks a power button, the LED light will continue to glow. Although this is not problematic and uses minimal power, it is recommended to disconnect the battery during long storage periods to prevent any battery drain.

Is Lithium Iron Phosphate a better choice?

The benefits of lithium iron phosphate batteries include rapid charge and discharge times, broad operational temperature range, extended lifespan, no maintenance, and a 5-year warranty, making them a reliable and efficient power solution.

How does the LiFePO4 battery from Point Zero Energy compare to others in the market?

Point Zero Energy takes great pride in providing the highest energy density LiFePO4 battery in the solar generator industry, boasting 52 Wh per pound. Our LiFePO4 battery offers superior power for its weight, offering unparalleled efficiency and performance for your energy needs compared to other LiFePO4 options on the market.

What is the weight of the LiFePO4 battery module?

The weight of the LiFePO4 battery module is approximately 45 lbs.

Can I have my Titan Power Station reprogrammed at any given time?

Absolutely! You can have your Titan Power Station reprogrammed whenever you need, although the cost may have to be borne by the customer. The reprogramming is priced at $400, with free reprogramming being a limited-time introductory offer.

A Brief Overview of the U.S. Home Energy Tax Credit

Discover the financial advantages of the U.S. federal solar tax credit for homeowners considering installing a solar system in their main residence. This incentive provides a 30% discount on the current cost of a solar system. If you've set up a system in 2022, it's advisable to speak with your tax consultant to see if you're eligible for a higher credit rate.

Understanding the U.S. Federal Solar Tax Credit:

This tax credit is tailored for homeowners and applies to solar systems installed in primary homes. The credit covers a percentage of qualifying expenses, and thanks to the recent Inflation Reduction Act, the scope of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) has broadened. Solar systems installed from 2022 to 2032 are eligible for a 30% tax credit, which will drop to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034. There's no cap on the amount you can claim.

What Expenses Are Eligible:

Qualifying expenses include solar photovoltaic panels, attic fan power systems (except for the fan itself), labor costs for installation and setup, balance-of-system components, and applicable sales taxes. Standalone batteries with a capacity of 3 kWh or more may also be eligible! For instance, if the solar system you initially purchase includes a single battery with a capacity of less than 3 kWh, but you also buy extra batteries during the installation process that bring the total capacity to more than 3 kWh, then the entire setup may be eligible for the tax credit.

How to Determine Your Eligibility:

To confirm your eligibility for this federal solar credit, review the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy and consult your tax advisor.

Steps to Claim the U.S. Federal Solar Tax Credit:

1. Verify Eligibility: Speak with your tax advisor to confirm your eligibility and to understand how to make the most of the credit.

2. Fill Out IRS Form 5695: This form, available online, is specifically for claiming renewable energy credits. Guidelines for completing the form are provided.

3. Apply Credits on Your 1040: Use the total credit amount from Form 5695 to lessen your tax liability on your Form 1040.
