LFP Batteries

Design, vendor selection and cost down for Fenix International

Selected Projects.

  • Launch: Conversion of a product line from lead-acid batteries to LFP - initiated when cost-value monitoring suggested conversion was viable.

    • Prototype and Test (battery, BMS, pack and integration with product)

    • Field testing with customers (feedback, refine product firmware, finalize pack specification)

    • Deploy at scale into manufacturing

  • Development: Product family using multiple networked packs and multiple software defined capacities

  • Cost-down: With field proven reliability, small adjustments were possible to reduce cost while maintaining backwards compatibility.

Results: Efforts enabled a pay-as-you-go business model that relies on long-life batteries.
