What is the best solar light battery ?
In recent years, due to the advantages of green energy, easy installation, and wide application, which can be installed in remote areas without connecting power grid, solar street lights are waiting for more and more installation and use. How to choose the right solar light battery for your project?
GEL battery
suitable for split solar street lights. The earlier split solar street lights are mainly composed of solar panels plus GEL batteries plus LED lamps. Among them, the solar panel needs to be equipped with a fixed bracket, and the GEL battery needs to be packed in the battery box and buried underground or hung on a light pole. The configured LED lamps generally require a certain length of wiring. It is inconvenient to install, and the product cost and labor cost are high.
Lithium battery
At present, more split solar street lights use lithium battery box technology, that is, pack a lithium battery pack and controller into a box, usually placed on the back of the solar panel, and some are placed on the bottom of the LED lamp, using an intelligent control system.
Lithium battery pack, there are currently three commonly used lithium batteries of 18650, 26650, and 32650. Relatively speaking, 18650 is usually a ternary lithium battery, no matter the service life and cost performance are not high. Currently, the commonly used LiFePO4 battery specifications are 26650 and 32650. 26650 means diameter D=26mm, length L=65mm; 32650 means diameter D=32mm, length L=65mm. Due to cell size limitations, the battery capacity of the 26650 is not as high as that of the 32650, and the number of batteries using the 32650 to achieve the same configuration is less than that of the 26650.
