Containerised Solar-Backed Battery Bank |
Lithium batteries come in various sizes, types, and capacities. It all depends on the application and use-cases. Above is one type where a containerized Battery Bank with Solar panels for topping up energy during daylight.
Inside Smart-Lithium-Battery (BMS) |
Lithium Batteries are smart battery packs as they need to be carefully and electronically well-managed battery systems since they are prone to fire incidents if not. The cells operate with the highest density of energy and contain certain volatile compounds in their chemistry, and need to be operated within certain tight-parameters.

Battery Backup on Wheels |
Since the batteries are lighter and power-dense, they can be transported for portable energy backup purposes.
Rack mountable Lithium Battery Module |
Lithium Batteries are getting popular for powering up data centers and communication equipment as they are easier and cleaner to handle.
Conventional Lead-Battery Bank on an industrial scale. |
Above is a classical example of the good-old lead-battery bank used for energy storage.

There are basically four types of lithium cell packaging, namely,
- Cylindrical cell
- Prismatic cell
- Pouch cell
- Button cell
