In light of evolving battery technologies, why was a lead-acid battery chosen instead of a more exotic battery such as a lithium-ion cell?
The primary reason for the selection of a AGM lead acid battery is the versatility. A lead-acid AGM battery will operate successfully in a much wider range of temperatures, and it will also accept a much wider range of charging conditions. Additionaly, the lithium-ion battery has an extremely high cost. While there are many new battery technologies emerging in the marketplace, the operating parameters and the cost of using the new technologies does not currently render it “effective” for employment with the Solar Stik™ System. The Solar Stik™ System produces 12VDC power ranging from 8-25 amps in “Single” or “Expanded” configurations. Additionally, the adaptability of the system may require that it be subjected to recharging from vehicles or AC battery chargers. Exotic battery cells often require special charging conditions, which prevent them from being used as a good 12VDC battery for operations requiring versatility and adaptability often found during “real-world” conditions.
