Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs) are intended for short trips of shopping, social and recreational purposes. Though they are distinct, golf carts and All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) also fit into this category. Generally, LSVs have a top speed of 25 mph, that will include Low Speed two-wheelers and three-wheelers into this category. Green Cubes solutions enable a Clean, Connected and Cost-Effective ecosystem for these LSV applications.
Ecosystem components comprise of a comprehensive battery and charger solution designed to meet the cost, performance, efficiency, and durability requirements. Battery solution includes application-specific cell chemistry and intelligent battery management electronics. The drop in replacement batteries make upgrading from Lead Acid to Lithium-Ion simple. Some LSVs may have Swappable Batteries. Green Cubes can provide Swappable Batteries too.
The benefits of Green Cubes Lithium-Ion system over traditional Lead Acid system are:
- Higher energy density
Lithium-Ion Batteries offer the highest energy density enabling them to store more energy without taking up as much space as a Lead Acid battery.
- Improved Range
Lithium-Ion Batteries with their weight savings also provide a longer range or runtime for each charge.
- Fast Charging
Lithium-Ion Batteries enable Fast charging allowing for more frequent trips compared to Lead Acid.
- More Uniform Power
Lithium-Ion Batteries provide full power throughout the usage cycle compared to Lead Acid system that provide full power for a relatively short duration, as the voltage declines steeply during usage.
- Longer Battery Life
Depending on the Cell selection, Lithium-Ion Batteries provide 5 to 10 times more cycles than Lead Acid Batteries
- More Durable
Lithium-Ion Batteries are rugged and built to last. They can’t be over-charged because the Battery Management System protects against that. Unlike Lead Acid batteries, if they are under-charged or left in a partial state of charge, they will not be damaged.
- Greater Reliability
Green Cubes batteries are constructed from UL approved components. Voltage, current and temperature are continuously monitored with the help of a Battery Management System.
- Environment Friendly
Compared to Lead Acid there is No risk of encountering battery acid, and no harmful gases are produced during charging.
- Cost Effective and Greater Value
Lithium-Ion batteries offer great savings compared to Lead Acid when you consider the total cost of ownership. Although the upfront cost of Lithium-Ion Battery is higher, zero maintenance, reduced battery replacement and charging costs all add up to substantial savings.
