How safe are Lithium-Ion Batteries?
Our LiFePO4 batteries are considered to be safe, non-flammable and non-hazardous for superior chemical and mechanical structure.
They can also withstand harsh conditions, be it freezing cold, scorching heat or rough terrain. When subjected to hazardous events, such as collision or short-circuiting, they won’t explode or catch fire, significantly reducing any chance of harm. If you’re selecting a lithium battery and anticipate use in hazardous or unstable environments, LiFePO4 is likely be your best choice. It’s also worth mentioning, LiFePO4 batteries are non-toxic, non-contaminating and contain no rare earth metals, making them an environmentally conscious choice.
What is a BMS? What does it do and where is it located?
BMS is short for Battery Management System. It’s like a bridge between battery and users. The BMS protects the cells from getting damaged — most commonly from over or under-voltage, over current, high temperature or external short-circuiting. The BMS will shut off the battery to protect the cells from unsafe operating conditions. All RoyPow batteries have a built-in BMS to manage and protect them against these types of issues.
Our forklift batteries BMS is a high-tech innovative design made to protect the lithium cells. Features Include: Remote monitoring with OTA (over the air), Thermal management, and multiple protections, such as Low Voltage Protection Switch, Over Voltage Protection Switch, Short Circuit Protection Switch, etc.

What are lithium ion battery energy storage systems?
Battery energy storage systems are rechargeable battery systems that store energy from solar arrays or the electric grid and provide that energy to a home or business.
Is a battery an energy storage device?
Batteries are the most commonly form of energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries have superior energy density compared to lead-acid batteries. Battery storage technology is typically around 80% to more than 90% efficient for newer lithium-ion devices. Battery systems connected to large solid-state converters have been used to stabilize power distribution networks.
Why do we need battery storage?
The batteries store the renewable energy, and when it’s needed, they can quickly release the energy into the grid. This makes the power supply smoother and more predictable. The energy stored in the batteries can also be used in times of peak demand, when more electricity is required.
How can battery storage help power grids?
A battery energy storage system (BESS) is an electrochemical device that charges from the grid or a power plant and then discharges that energy at a later time to provide electricity or other grid services when needed.
