Questions You Should Know about Telecom Battery Manufacturer

There are some stereotypical myths that come up frequently when talking about lithium-ion batteries (also known as Li-ion or LFP).  This battery type is so beneficial to use that we don’t want you to pass it over without more information.  We have sectioned topics into five categories: safety, price, compatibility, form and fit, and temperature sensitivity.  Let’s run through each one.

SAFETY:

Myth #1 – Lithium batteries catch on fire and are unsafe.

For more information, please visit our website.

While some lithium battery manufacturers initially had some safety challenges that made it onto national news, MPINarada’s phosphate chemistry is non-volatile and provides excellent discharge characteristics.  We don’t have fires like other Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries.  Our millions of modules have been tested and used in some of the toughest and hottest areas of the world without issue. 

PRICE:

Myth #2 – Lithium batteries are ten times the cost of other batteries.

Ten years ago, lithium batteries were more expensive. This is not the case anymore. We have mastered the chemistry and are proudly the global sales leader in 48 volt telecommunications batteries, so the volume has brought down our costs even further.  MPINarada’s Li-ion batteries are an affordable choice for you to consider.  Quite often, our batteries are only 20-30% premium over VRLA technology when matching runtimes.

COMPATIBILITY:

Myth #3 – Lithium batteries don’t work with all power system controllers.

All of MPINarada lithium batteries are compatible with your power system right out of the box.  You will not need to change your charge parameters to switch to our product.  Our internal battery management system is compatible with all power system controllers and charging systems.

FORM AND FIT:

Myth #4 – Lithium batteries will need new racking and/or cabinets and cables.

With MPINarada,you will be able to swap out your comparable ampacity lead acid batteries for our Li-ion batteries and keep your current storage container. Our form factor is the same, or smaller, than VRLA equivalents.  We will also be able to reuse your existing cabling.  Our small battery footprint may also give you the advantage of a better fit in your current system.

TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY:

Myth #5 – Lithium batteries do well in high temperatures, but only fairly well in cold temperatures.

We offer you a battery that works extremely well in BOTH hot and cold temperatures.  All of our batteries have been tested all over the globe.  They have produced excellent results in the high temperatures of India, Africa, and the Middle East.  Our North America climate is comparatively moderate with other parts of the world and the batteries perform very well.

RECAP:

MPINarada’s lithium-ion batteries offer a reliable, affordable, and compact power supply solution for the tier 1, 2, and 3 telecom providers deploying small cell, distributed antennae, 5G networks, and CATV operators for mobile backhaul networks. 

Some top customer benefits of our fully MPINarada constructed products are theft deterrence, stocked products, reduced lead times, weight savings, life cycle cost reductions, small form factor, and high level of quality control.

We are one of the few companies that offers UL listings on 48 volt lithium technology.

We proudly produce the highest volume of 48 volt telecommunication batteries in the world, and welcome the opportunity to discuss how our products could best serve your needs.

Telecom batteries are rechargeable batteries designed to provide backup power to telecommunications equipment, such as base stations, cell towers, and other communication infrastructure.

Telecom batteries are critical in ensuring that telecommunication networks remain operational during emergencies, natural disasters, or other events that can disrupt the power supply.

Factors to consider while selecting a telecom battery

The selection of telecom batteries can depend on several factors, including:

Capacity Requirements

The battery's capacity is determined by the telecom equipment's power consumption and the backup duration required during a power outage.

To choose the right telecom battery capacity, it's important to consider factors such as:

The power requirements of the telecom equipment,

The expected duration of any power outages,

The charging and discharge rates of the battery.

Battery Chemistry

Different battery chemistries have different performance characteristics, such as energy density, discharge rate, and cycle life. The most common battery chemistries used in telecom applications are lead-acid and lithium-ion.

Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries are suitable for telecom applications that require high discharge rates and frequent cycling.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are ideal for applications that require high energy density and long cycle life.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are a good alternative to NiCad batteries, especially for applications where the environment is sensitive to the use of cadmium.

Operating Environment

The operating environment, including temperature range, humidity, and exposure to vibration or shock, can affect the performance and lifespan of the battery.

If high temperatures characterize the operating environment, selecting a battery that can withstand those temperatures without losing capacity or experiencing premature failure is important.

Maintenance Requirements

The maintenance requirements of the battery, including the need for periodic testing, charging, and replacement, can also affect the selection of a telecom battery.

A battery that requires regular maintenance will need more attention and upkeep, which can be costly and time-consuming.

A battery with minimal maintenance requirements will be easier and less expensive to maintain over time.

Cost

The cost of the battery is an important factor in the selection process, as it can impact the overall cost of the telecom system.

It is important to balance the cost of the batteries with their performance, reliability, and safety features.

Cheaper batteries may have a lower upfront cost but a short lifespan or have the necessary safety features to protect your equipment.

Regulatory Compliance

Telecom batteries may need to comply with safety and environmental standards and regulations.

Batteries in telecommunications must comply with the safety standards set by regulatory bodies such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

Compatibility with equipment

The battery must be compatible with the telecom equipment it will power, including the voltage and current requirements.

The batteries meet safety requirements, such as protection against overcharging, short-circuiting, and thermal runaway.
