Solar Batteries
Lithium Iron Solar Batteries
REVOV’s lithium iron solar batteries are ideal solar energy storage systems for residential, commercial and industrial use.
In the past, people’s adoption of solar power has been limited by the high cost of solar energy storage batteries. Now, lithium solar batteries are becoming much more affordable.

Which batteries are the best for solar power systems?
Lithium batteries for solar power storage
Solar lithium iron phosphate batteries – also called solar LiFePO4 batteries – are currently the best lithium batteries for solar systems.
Their particular chemistry makes them the most cost-effective option for homes and businesses. They’re also safer and less toxic than alternative solar battery types. A lithium iron solar battery bank can easily be scaled.
This makes it possible to build towards a fully off-grid solar system. It’s also straightforward to add capacity to an existing installation to meet growing energy needs.
Lead acid vs lithium iron solar battery
Lead-acid batteries are available for solar energy storage and may cost less than lithium ion batteries. However, lithium iron batteries use newer, superior technology. In practice, this makes them more cost-effective.
Lithium-iron solar batteries offer:
Significantly longer lifespan
In studies, lithium-iron batteries generally deliver many times the total number of cycles in their lifetimes than lead acid batteries.
Higher capacity
Lithium-iron batteries take up less space and can charge more appliances.
Greater efficiency
Upwards of 95% of the energy in a lithium iron battery can be used. For a lead-acid battery, efficiency is typically 80 to 85%. Batteries with greater efficiency charge faster and have higher capacity.
A greater depth of discharge (DOD)
A lead-acid battery generally has a DOD of about 50% – meaning you shouldn’t use more than half the available kilowatt hours (kWh) from the battery before recharging it. A REVOV lithium iron battery offers a DOD of about 90%.
Safer & lighter
Lithium iron batteries are also safer and lighter than lead-acid batteries. They can be wall-mounted and are solid – so they don’t require maintenance or refills.
Gel vs lithium solar batteries
Gel and AGM batteries are two types of lead-acid batteries.
In a gel battery, the electrolyte takes the form of a gel paste. In an absorbed glass mat (AGM) battery, the lead acid is absorbed into a fibreglass mat.
Both these battery types are safer than flooded lead-acid batteries. They help ensure that the acid can’t spill.
However, lithium-iron solar batteries offer better efficiency, greater capacity and longer lifespan. They’re also safer, with no toxic acid.
In business, growth is the ultimate goal, and REVOV has been instrumental in helping us achieve it. Their products have given us a competitive edge in our market, enabling us to thrive and succeed.
The best of both as they say! Excellent batteries for a good price! I know my back up team at REVOV goes more than a mile with our company! During the sale and after sales are excellent!
Best ever customer service. Babsie was very friendly and professional and she is answered all my technical questions like a pro... I made payment and she delivered the battery herself the next day. She recommended an installer, which is important because the wrong or fly by night installer may cause problems to the battery. I am happy and completely satisfied.
