Even though our pricing is probably the lowest priced prismatic LiFePO₄ battery you will find, purchasing an item based upon price alone is often short sighted. Many factors should be taken into consideration when a company or individual selects a particular battery for their application. Chief among them is quality, lifespan, and warranty. It is easy for companies to make claims. Often, the responsibilty of establishing the true facts falls back on the buyer. Wild eyed claims by some companies regarding their batteries' life or ability to handle high currents are difficult for the average buyer to substantiate. Here are some interesting facts:

Quality and useful life parameters:

HiPower frowns on the practice of just pulling batteries off the shelf and shipping them out immediately. Each battery pack that they sell is selected so that they are a matched set. As time goes by you will realize how important it is to getting balanced and matched batteries in a pack. That"s because Lithium batteries can be damaged by overcharging or over discharging. A good BMS should shut your charger off at about 3.65 volts per cell and never allow the voltage to exceed 4.0 volts or the battery life will be shortened. If the batteries are not balanced then the best battery will be charged up to 3.65 volts. At this voltage set point a good BMS system will detect this one cells condition and shut the charger off. Leaving he rest of the pack only partially charged. Conversely , lithium cells should never be discharged below 2.0 volts or it also is hard on the cells life. So most BMS systems are set to shut the pack discharge off when one of the batteries get down to about 2.2 to 2.4 volts. At this point, the other batteries in the pack still retain usable energy. This will materially affect your range. A matched set of batteries goes a long way towards preventing this condition.

Our delivery on the battery pack will be about 8 to 12 weeks. The company requires 10% of the total price down as a non-refundable deposit. The balance will be due when the batteries are ready to be shipped.

All HiPower batteries will be factory warranted for two years. This warranty is not prorated like a number of other companies. It is a full replacement warranty.

Our Company:

Hipower New Energy Group Co.,Ltd

1. Company brief introduction:

(1). General information about our company and our products: LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) rechargeable batteries, along with a unique patent pending Battery Management System and Lithium battery charging system.

(2). Shangdong Hipower Energy Group--- A pioneer in LiFePO4 battery production

Our scale :

With our total production ability of over 3 Million AH, our Hi-power Energy Group's factories are well equipped to meet the need to supply a growing demand for LiFePO4 batteries all over the world. We have two large factories: One is in Zhaozhuang which covers an area of 5,600,000 square feet; the other is in Yantai with over 1,000,000 square feet. Our newest Zhaozhuang plant is completely equipped with the newest state of the art battery manufacturing equipment, to meet the requirements for certification by ISO, CE, ROHS, UL, and the Tianjin 18th Research Institute. With the latest professional Chinese lithium battery testing center, we can now provide a unique center to focus on the latest Lithium battery technology needs of the Scientific, Industrial, Solar, and Automotive Industries.

Our history :

We have been in the LIFEPO4 battery manufacturing business for the last eight (8) years and have produced lithium batteries in mass production for the last six (6) years. That is longer than any other Chinese LiFePO4 manufacturer.

Our Market :

We were the first company in China to make 288V 200Ah LIFEPO4 battery packs and have successfully sold them to highly specialized companies all over the world. That was 3 years early than any other LiFePO4 supplier. In 2008, HiPower produced over 25% of all the LIFEPO4 batteries produced and exported from China.

Our patents :

As shown on the website of SIPO (State Intellectual Property Office of People's Republic of China) HIPOWER is the second largest Chinese company and is among the top 20 companies listed holding the largest number of lithium related patents.

Our achievements :

In China HIPOWER is considered a pioneer in the development of LiFePO4 battery construction and manufacturing, HIPOWER is the only company that has been interviewed and praised by China National TV (CCTV) for their great contribution in the field of energy on The 60th Anniversary of China Energy in October 2009.

Why choose a HIPOWER lifepo4 battery ?

Compare HIPOWER with other China energy suppliers who only began to engage in building LIFePO4 batteries as late as one year ago or just this year, and you will see that we are the one of two companies who started to research and develop LiFePO4 batteries as early as 5 years ago and has successfully build and exported 388v 200ah battery packs to customers 3 years earlier than our main Chinese competitors. So we have gotten a big head start in this industry. As a result of this fact HIPOWER can now produce full solutions for LiFePO4 battery packs + charger + BMS right now. Our battery packs cover a range from 12v /24v/48v/72v/144v to 388v with capacity of 10ah/20ah/30ah/50ah/100ah/200ah/600ah.

These packs are widely used in rechargeable power applications. Coupling these packs with our HIPOWER'S unique, LIFEPO4 charger with their newly Patented BMS (Battery Management System) which can monitor and equalize each single cell during charge and discharge makes for a winning combination. Some of our power solution products have recognized and applauded in advanced countries.

Thanks for HIPOWER'S 5 years of experience; one of our advantages is that we know how to produce large capacity batteries. We can produce 200Ah/600Ah single cells now and we are now designing a 1000Ah single cell. There are few others who can successfully mass produce more than 50Ah cells. They just build the pack with small single cells like the 18650/26650 to be in paralleled together. To combine that many small cells together won't give good performance because all of the cells within the pack cannot maintain near enough consistency within all of the cells. This serious inconsistency will eventually lower the life of the whole battery pack.

OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

OEM battery service is welcome. Our 20 staff R&D department would be ready to serve you at any your requirements.

2. The delivery terms and Payment term

Delivery time: For products, the normal production time is 25 days 55 days if without stock as per how many orders are still in production ; We can offer to you the pack around 10 days if with stock. If customer only need single cells instead of battery packs , the delivery time would be much faster.

◇ Payment term : L/C or T/T payment before shipment

◇ MOQ: 1 piece for a sample, or one set of pack to qualified customers.
