The global lithium battery market is witnessing a notable cost upturn, with 3.2V/100Ah LiFePO4 cells leading the surge. This price movement, driven by multi-dimensional factors including raw material fluctuations and supply-demand rebalancing, is reshaping industry dynamics.

In remote, off-grid regions where reliable electricity is a lifeline, off-grid inverter systems powered by lithium batteries are becoming more and more popular and replacing the traditional lead acid batteries by their lower lifespan cost and longer lifespan.

Today we will not talk about products and technologies, but how difficult the solar energy storage industry was in the first half of this year, and then think about where the future is. You are welcome to express your views and feelings in the market you are in:

For energy storage systems, the BMS is usually divided into hardware BMS and smart BMS, so what is the difference between them?

Lithium batteries are used everywhere in our daily lives, for example, smartphones, electric vehicles, digital cameras, and other electronic and electrical products. As we all know, lithium batteries are very dangerous if used improperly.

Welcome to Micergy's latest insight on ess and e-mobility, today, let's talk about some sensitive issues of the battery sector --- the battery cycles.

When we design the battery pack BMS, there are several basic principles: · When the first cell is fully charged, charging must stop. · When the first cell is dead, discharging must end. · Weak cells age faster than strong cells.

With the rise in oil prices, frequent motorcycle accidents, and environmental concerns, electric vehicles are gradually replacing traditional fuel-powered motorcycles as an important means of transportation. However, electric vehicle range anxiety is a major concern for many people. The birth of electric vehicle battery swapping cabinets is like installing an "energy refueling station" on electric vehicles, allowing users to enjoy long-range without worrying about battery level. Especially in urban transportation, logistics and distribution scenarios, battery-swapping cabinets are highly favored, and market demand is soaring.

More and more people are wondering whether the high voltage energy storage systems are replacing the low voltage energy storage system, if yes, what’s the logic behind it?

Following our last article ‘How lithium battery cells are classified into different grades?’, we know different cell manufacturers produce battery cells with different quality because of material differences and product process differences, even the battery cell produced by the same manufacturer, but different production batch, the quality may be different and the cell will be divided into different grades, so it is very important to divide cells into a different grade based on the capacity and internal resistance and select the cells with similar parameters to avoid short board effect because of inconsistency, the capacity division is an inevitable process before battery packing.

Facing a wide range of battery product quotations, battery products that look similar or even the same in appearance may have completely different quotations from different suppliers, which confuses many importers. One of the important reasons for the different prices is the usage of different grades of battery cells. so how battery cells are divided into grades?

At the beginning of 2024, we witnessed a wave of "Higher and Longer" unilateral upward trends in lead prices. At the end of March, macro inflation expectations were traded under macro reflation expectations, coupled with fundamental benefits such as the introduction of new national standards in China, trade-in policies, and reverse invoicing. Multiple factors have contributed to this cycle of repeated incidents, and lead price has recently hit a six-year high.

Billions of people are living without adequate access to energy and transportation. More than 70% of rural Africans are unable to reach jobs, education, and health care due to inadequate transport. In developing countries with low per capita income, as a relatively cheap and multi-functional means of transportation, motorcycles can not only meet people's daily travel needs but also be used to carry cargo, as a result, the 2&3 wheelers become an essential tool for home travel and the fastest growing transport mode.

Currently, two-and-three-wheelers constitute close to 30% of total motorized vehicles worldwide. In middle and low-income cities, the share is varying between 50% and 90%. Close to half of the global motorized two-and-three-wheeler feet operates in urban areas.

Pay-As-You-Go refers to a business model that allows users to pay for their product visa embedded consumer financing. A Paygo company will typically offer a solar product (predominantly solar home systems and multi-light pico devices) for which a customer makes a down payment, followed by regular payments for a term ranging from six months to eight years. Payments are usually made via mobile money, though there are alternative methods that include scratch cards, mobile airtime and cash.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, 43% of the total population is electrified, and only 28% of healthcare facilities have reliable electricity, this leads to serious problems, including the spoiling of medicines and the inability to use essential medical and diagnostic devices; even the lack of basic lighting and communications can complicate treatments, especially emergency procedures. Lack of electricity limits working hours and inhibits the deployment of medical technology.

As an effective way to improve the electrification rate globally, Pay-As-You-Go solar business model has been proved feasible in many developing countries, and more and more countries are deploying the Pay-As-You-Go pilot. it seems like a real hot and new things for many potential stakeholders has an interest in running their own Pay-As-You-Go business, but is it really that easy to run a Pay-As-You-Go business?

Globally, 1.2 billion people lack access to electricity, energy access is critical for inclusive economic growth and is supported by UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 to ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
