Lindsay Broadband’s LBLIFEPO4-36V100AH is the next generation lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) broadband battery for standby powering applications. This 36 VDC, 100 Ah, LiFePO4 battery fits on a single outside plant (OSP) cabinet battery shelf, replacing three (3) 12 VDC lead-acid (VRLA) batteries connected in series to create a 36 VDC string. This ANSI/CAN/UL 1973 and CE certified LiFePO4 battery offers premium performance while providing clean, energy efficient, safe, reliable and sustainable standby power to an HFC network standby power supply. Extremely high energy density with up to 90% depth of discharge (DoD) provides longer run-times and improved network reliability, with little to no maintenance.

Features
Higher Reliability
- Longer Lifespan: 10x longer than VRLA & 3x longer than NMC
- Higher Energy Density: 3x longer run-time, 1/3 the weight & 1/3 the size of VRLA
- 4x Faster Charge-Time than VRLA: During multiple successive outages, comes up to full charge faster, resulting in longer run-times & greater plant reliability
- Greater DoD: 90% of capacity is usable energy compared to 50% for VRLA
- Minimal effect on battery lifespan from high discharge rates
- Less maintenance due to lack of corrosion
Green/Environmentally-Friendly
- Non-Contaminating: Contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, cobalt or rare-earth metals to pollute & enter ground water
- 100% recyclable
- Less Waste:
• Fewer raw materials (number of batteries required) for same energy density reduces waste
• Longer lifespan equates to fewer batteries used over time resulting in less waste
Efficient
- No Float Charging Required: Reduces operational energy use
- Low Self-Discharge Rate: Eliminates wasted energy required to “top up” batteries
- Less Effects from Extreme Temperature:
• Charge: 0°C to +55°C (+32°F to +131°F)
• Discharge: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F)
Safe
- No outgassing of harmful acidic gases & explosive hydrogen that are present with lead-acid during charging
- No Sulphuric Acid-Based Electrolyte: Eliminates acid burn hazards & the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) such as aprons, gloves, face shields, etc.
- Inherently Non-Combustible:
• Safest, most chemically & structurally stable of all battery chemistries
• Excellent thermal stability without any possibility for thermal run-away, decomposition at high temperatures, fire, or explosion
• No flammability hazards eliminates special personnel training
