Why Should We Use Lithium Batteries?

There are many reasons to choose Orbit Lithium Batteries.

First of all, these batteries are economical, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly.
Orbit Lithium Batteries are manufactured in Türkiye according to international standards.

Main application areas:
Telecommunication systems, off-grid solar plants, grid-connected Energy Storage Systems (ESS), UPS, caravans, and boats.

Orbit Lithium Batteries are Türkiye’s most economical and durable batteries.

Why Use Lithium Batteries?

The concept of lithium batteries is still not fully understood or recognized in the market.
However, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries have now become popular and widely adopted worldwide.

Many countries are already phasing out the sale and use of gel batteries,
and the same trend will soon take place in Türkiye.

There are two main reasons to use Orbit Lithium Batteries:

  1. They last 20–30 times longer than gel batteries — up to 20 years of lifetime.

  2. They are 10 times more economical than gel batteries.

How Can They Be Cheaper?

At first glance, it may sound surprising — but here’s why:

  • Lithium batteries cost 250–450 USD per kWh
    → lifespan: 2,000–8,000 cycles
    → cost per cycle: 0.05–0.125 USD

  • Gel batteries cost 150–200 USD per kWh
    → lifespan: 250–400 cycles
    → cost per cycle: around 0.50 USD

Why Are Orbit Lithium Batteries High Quality?

  • The cells used in Orbit Lithium Batteries are of maximum quality and performance.

  • The Battery Management Systems (BMS) in our products ensure accurate and reliable operation exactly as stated on the product labels.

  • All components are tested before and after production, ensuring consistent safety and performance.

In short, Orbit Lithium Batteries combine long life, safety, efficiency, and economic value,
making them the most reliable energy storage solution in Türkiye.

 

What Are the Types of Orbit Lithium Batteries?

According to their cell structure, Orbit Lithium Batteries use prismatic and cylindrical cells.
According to their voltage level, they are produced in 12V, 24V, and 48V models.

What Should You Consider When Choosing a Lithium Battery?

The amount of load you plan to connect is very important.
For example, if your inverter has an output power of 5 kVA and you plan to use it at full capacity,
you must install a system capable of delivering at least 100A of continuous output current.

Ideally, use single-block batteries that can provide the full system voltage and current on their own.
For example, for a 5 kVA system, you should choose a 48V 100Ah battery block capable of delivering 100A continuous discharge current.

A BMS with a reset function will be more convenient for users.
BMS units that show battery status, cell balance, and allow software monitoring and data connection — as in Orbit Lithium Batteries — provide a more professional experience.

If the BMS can store charge/discharge data and you can download and analyze this data,
you’ll have a professional-grade system. Orbit Lithium Batteries include all these features.

Cell testing is also essential.
Batteries made with non-tested or inconsistent (heterogeneous) cells may fail to charge properly or may get damaged quickly —
and using poor-quality BMS units could even cause fires. This is a critical safety issue!

Are Lithium Batteries Safe?

Yes, they are very safe — especially when purchased from trusted manufacturers.
For a lithium battery to explode or crack, it would need to be charged at extremely high voltage or intentionally short-circuited.

That’s why the manufacturer and the BMS system are crucial.
Orbit Lithium Batteries are produced with extreme precision, designed to cover every safety scenario.
Their BMS includes short-circuit protection, overcharge current protection, and many additional features that extend battery life — even the smallest details are considered.

Lithium Batteries Have High Charge and Discharge Capability

For example, let’s compare:
If you buy four 12V 100Ah Gel batteries, you might expect to store about 4.8 kWh of energy.
If you use them with a 5 kVA off-grid inverter to run a motor, the motor would likely run only about 35 minutes —
because high current discharge is not suitable for Gel batteries.
This shortens the battery life significantly.

However, lithium batteries perform much better.
For the same capacity, they can supply energy for almost one full hour, with full load utilization.
That’s why we say:
???? Full Capacity Use with ORBIT Lithium Batteries!

Conclusion

If you need a battery today, the most economical and long-lasting option is
the Orbit LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) Battery — offering safety, efficiency, and durability in every application.
