Balqon Corporation introduces HIQAP industrial lithium-ion packs to replace lead-acid batteries

Green Car Congress

Balqon Corporation, a developer of heavy-duty electric vehicles, drive systems and lithium battery storage devices, has introduced high-capacity lithium-ion batteries as an alternative to the current industrial deep cycle lead acid batteries. HIQAP batteries include large format 1000 Ah and 700 Ah, 3.25

However, the authors note, to date EES (almost exclusively pumped hydroelectric storage) contributes to only about 2% of the installed generation capacity in the United States. This type of application requires high round-trip energy efficiency and a long deep-cycle life, along with low operation and maintenance costs.
