Lithium-Ion batteries have some of the highest power density to weight of any battery chemistry. Lead Acid batteries have a power density from 30-50 Wh/Kg. Lithium-Ion has a power density of around 100-120 Wh/Kg. This increased power density not only keeps your EV and other devices running longer but is also more efficient. Less weight means your EV devices can run further for longer. This translates into a major cost savings over the life of the battery.

All batteries contain quality  Lithium-Ion cells, spot welded and packaged for your application. The batteries contain a Battery Management System (BMS) with optional monitoring on a smartphone APP and an optional  heating system. As well as the final enclosure for your new pack. 

Any battery chemistry can fail in cold conditions, especially those seen in Canada. This is due to a number of factors that slow the chemical reaction in batteries that produce electricity. By keeping Lithium-Ion batteries at their optimal temperature above 5°C and below 60°C you can enjoy faster charging, better performance, and even longer lifetime. 

The term “off the grid” is defined as not requiring public utilities such as electricity, water, sewer, natural gas, heat, and other services. It also often entails living a minimalist lifestyle, reducing waste, and spending only on absolute necessities. To truly live off the grid you must get your electricity from renewable sources like wind, solar or geothermal power. In any case, you will require a storage solution and that is Westbank Customs’ focus.

The Battery Management System (BMS) can feature a software application with Bluetooth connectivity to an APP on your smartphone. This gives you instant access to data about S.O.C. (state-of-charge), and having  each battery assigned names for reference. This makes Fleet Maintenance for example a synch.
