A good battery storage system is like a clock. It needs more than just high-quality, high-performance components — it also needs these components to be perfectly synchronized.

​

BENEFITS

• 1-hour discharging (1C) - Fast charging is indispensable for high performance. If the C-rate is too low, the storage system must be very large in order to provide the required power output, which will make it unnecessarily expensive.

​

• High efficiency rating & low standby losses - Every time energy is stored, some of it is “lost”. Storage efficiency ratings reflect how much of the stored energy can actually be used. The rating should be well over 90%, while standby losses should be no more than 5 watts.

​

• Flexible expansion and exchange - In most systems, batteries can only be exchanged or added within the first few months of operation. The best systems allow for battery upgrades or replacements at any time.

​

• Stringent safety standards - Storage systems should have cell-level monitoring, because this is the only way to detect early on when maintenance is needed. And battery cells should come from a trustworthy source. Leading manufacturers offer premium-quality cells which won’t ignite even when damaged. The prismatic battery cells used by TESVOLT won’t ignite even if punctured by a metal spike. And in the rare event of a fault occurring, you can rely on the ABO battery management system to detect it early on.

​

• Durability and long cycle life - Battery storage systems deteriorate with every charging cycle. That is why manufacturers specify the number of full charging cycles that a system can complete before its residual capacity falls below a designated level. They also give the maximum battery life in calendar years.

​

• Intelligent battery management - Maximum performance, safety and durability are only possible if each individual battery cell is monitored to ensure that all cells are always optimally charged and discharged and that any faults are detected early on.
