Trevose, PA—Evenlite, the trusted leader in emergency lighting solutions, is proud to publish an extensive White Paper that serves as a comparative guide to inverter system battery technologies, documents the clear advantages of new lithium battery innovations, and provides the foundation for Evenlite’s expanding inverter systems product offering.

The Future of Emergency Power

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) is the superior, future-ready battery choice for lighting inverter systems, offering unmatched safety, longevity, and space efficiency compared to traditional VRLA batteries. The report highlights that LiFePO4 eliminates the risk of thermal runaway when combined with a quality protective battery management system (BMS), provides 10-15 years of service life, and requires up to 50% less space than Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid (VRLA) for equivalent capacity.

Lowest Total Cost of Ownership: LiFePO₄'s Longevity Trumps VRLA's Upfront Price

Despite a higher upfront cost, LiFePO₄ delivers the lowest total cost of ownership over time due to its extended service life, reduced maintenance, and superior performance. VRLA batteries offer a standard service life of 4-6 years, while LiFePO₄ typically provides 10-15 years, significantly reducing the frequency and cost of replacement and maintenance.

Quality BMS is Non-Negotiable

A high-quality battery management system (BMS) is essential for LiFePO₄ systems to ensure safe operation, maximize battery life, and enable proper communication with the inverter. The BMS should include individual cell charging and balancing capabilities, which are critical for the safe and efficient use of LiFePO₄ technology.
