Product Q&A

• Can Invicta lithium batteries be paralleled?
  The Invicta Lithium range we have two main options the BT models and the S models (refer to Invicta product SKU code to determine)

   

  The BT models can be paralleled up to a total of 4x

  The S model can be paralleled or series up to a total of 4x ( but can not be put into a system using a parallel and series at the same time)

   

  If you are going to put any of these batteries into parallel or series they will need to be charged to a 100% state and checked to make sure voltage is the same +/- 0.04 volts. The manufacturer or battery professional can do this if required. Please also see instruction links below for each series:

• Can I connect the invicta Lithium in series or parallel?
  There are strict conditions under which the Invicta Lithium Range can be configured into Series OR Parallel systems. Please note these conditions below.

  Not all SNL batteries can be configured into a Series or parallel system. Please note the part number of the battery. If the Part number contains an “S” suffix example SNL12V100S. Then this denotes that the battery can be configured into a system of up to, but not exceeding 4 batteries in Series.

  If the part number does not end in an “S” for example SNL12V100BT, then series configuration is strictly prohibited.

  All Invicta lithium batteries can be configured into a parallel configuration up to 4 units in parallel under the conditions outlined.

• How does the battery cope with mechanical or physical damage?

  Under the IEC and UN38.3, the batteries undergo a range of mechanical abuse testing. This includes testing the effects of impact, drop and vibration abuse. In order for the battery to pass the testing, it must not leak, vent, rupture, disassemble or ignite.

• Why use LIFEPO4 for lead acid replacement applications?

  • Safest form of Lithium Ion when considering temperature and abuse such as overcharge/discharge, short circuit and penetration

  • High thermal runaway point

  • Similar voltage to SLA (3.2V per cell = 12.8V)

  • Good all round performance making it flexible for many applications

  • Environmentally friendly, phosphate is not hazardous and so is friendly both to the environment and health.

  • Slow capacity loss – meaning they can sit for longer without requiring re-fresh charge.

  • High cycle life • Cost effective

• How are the Invicta batteries tested?

  All Invicta batteries are tested independently by BMPRO. Invicta easily surpassed over 2000 cycles over 1000 days of continuous use under Australian conditions.

  Invicta batteries also feature an IEC 62619 (selected models) and IEC 62133 certification. These certifications are independent and rigorous tests that ensure the battery and BMS can withstand short circuit, propagation, high impact, thermal abuse (extreme heat and cold), and over-charge and discharge situations.

• Do Invicta batteries have an integrated BMS?

  All Invicta batteries have an integrated BMS that protects the battery from over charge/discharge, temperature, and short circuit. The BMS is also tested as part of IEC 62619 certification. Invicta 12V200Ah and 12V300Ah also include inverter friendly capabilities.

• What warranty comes with the Invicta batteries?

  As of 2020, all Invicta batteries have a 7-year warranty available in approved applications. Please see the Invicta Warranty page for full terms and conditions. 

• Why is Invicta lithium better than an AGM battery?

  Compared to an AGM of a similar capacity (e.g. 100ah vs 100ah) Invicta is less than half the weight. They can also be recharged five times faster, have a more efficient use of capacity and double the runtime. Additionally, they can sit unused for up to 12 months.

• What is a lithium battery?

  Just like standard lead acid batteries, Lithium batteries consist of positive plates (cathod es) and negative plates (anodes) as well as insulating separators to avoid short circuits between the positive and negative plates, and finally electrolyte, which is the conductive liquid although unlike flooded lead acid batteries, there is no free liquid in LiFePO4 batteries. A lithium battery differs in the materials used for the above mentioned components, especially the cathode and also the process undertaken during charge and re-charge. A lead acid battery undertakes chemical reactions, which change their components. Lithium just transfers ions during the charge and discharge process leaving everything else the same.

• Do I need to charge a lithium battery differently to a lead acid one?

  LiFePO4 batteries operate a bit differently to lead acid batteries, but an appropriate charge is still best for maximum battery life.

  A constant current (restricted by the charger output) will flow until the battery reaches a charged percentage of 90-95%. Once it reaches this point, the current will reduce and the voltage will increase - rising to a cut-off voltage (in reality around 14.7V).

• Why is the LiFePO4 battery used for lead acid replacement applications?

  LiFePO4 is the safest form of Lithium in terms of temperature range and when considering overcharging/discharging, short circuit and penetration possibilities. Other benefits of LiFePO4 include:

  • High thermal runaway point
  • Similar voltage to SLA (3.2V per cell = 12.8V)
  • Good all round performance (flexible for many applications)
  • Environmentally friendly (phosphate is not hazardous to environment or health)
  • Slow capacity loss (sit for longer before re-fresh recharge is required)
  • High cycle life
  • Cost effective
• What are the different types of lithium ion batteries?

• What is the integrated battery management system (BMS) for?

  The Integrated Battery Management System in Invicta Lithium Batteries ensure protection against over-charge / discharge, temperature and short circuits.

• Why is LIFEPO4 safer than other lithium battery types?

  The LiFePO4 batteries are the safest type of lithium batteries. Phosphate based technology possesses superior thermal and chemical stability which provides better safety characteristics than those of Lithium-ion technology made with other cathode materials. Lithium phosphate cells are incombustible in the event of mishandling during charge or discharge, they are more stable under overcharge or short circuit conditions and they can withstand high temperatures. LifePO4 has a very high thermal runaway temperature when compared to the other types at approximately 270oC as compared to as low as 150oC. LiFePO4  is also more chemically robust when compared to other variants

• Are all lithium batteries the same?

  The term “Lithium” or “Lithium Ion” refers to a family of batteries in which ions move from the negative electrode (anode) to the positive electrode (cathode) during discharge and back again when being charged. The point to note in this definition is that it refers to a “family of batteries”. Just like Lead Acid family which contains Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Gel types, there are a number of different “Lithium Ion” technologies within the Lithium Ion family. They each utilize different materials for their cathode and (to a lesser degree) anode and as a result exhibit different characteristics, which makes some more suitable than others for different applications.

• Can the Invicta Lithium Range be connected in series or parallel?

  There are strict conditions that need to be met for the Invicta Lithium Range to be connected into series or parallel systems.

  Please note the following:

  • Not all SNL batteries can be configured into a series or parallel system. Have a look at the part number of the battery. If the part number contains an "S" as a suffix (eg. SNL12V100S) then the battery can be configured into a system of up to (not exceeding) 4 batteries in series.
  • If the part number does not have an "S" as a suffix (eg. SNL12V100BT) then series configuration is strictly prohibited.
  • All Invicta Lithium Batteries can be configured into a parallel configuration up to 4 units in parallel (there are specific conditions to a parallel setup - refer to the instruction manual)
• Is the cost of ownership of an Invicta Lithium Battery lower than an SLA?

  Yes, the total cost of ownership of an Invicta Lithium Battery is lower than that of an equivalent SLA:

  • Save up to 50% in battery hardware costs over the life of the system
  • Reduce labour replacement costs by up to 7 times
  • Greater capacity utilisation allows reduction in overall system size or greater output from your current system size
