WrenchesWe have been doing testing on the Blue Ion over the last several
months, we have been using PV, back up grid connected charger, we have CT's on
DC in, PV in, Charger in, and Load out, some days we push to three cycles a
day, other days 1/2 cycle. The Blue Ion BMU has done well keeping everything in
control including a relay for the charger. Eguage has done all the monitoring
and has some impressive data. Jerry

Larry....yes those are big claims (8000 cyclces at 100% DOD!) No I don't have
the data showing that, nor have I seen it. But the marketing has to be
accurate right?! We have installed a few systems with a few more on the books
including one at our office. Will be interesting to see if the real world
matches the lab tests....I don't have a copy of their warranty but it is for 15
years and does allow for some degradation of capacity, 70% remaining after 15
years. Pretty robust for a battery warranty! From what I have seen they are a
strong off grid option. Could be one of the last battery banks some of our
customers ever buy. The visibility into cycle count and remaining capacity is
refreshing after using various amp hour meters which tend to wander in accuracy
over time. I am looking forward to the migration away from Lead Acid in the
years ahead!

Hi Kirpal,
“...8000 cycles (20+ years of daily cycling!!) to 100 depth of discharge…” I
saw that on their website but there is no substantiating data from real cycle
life tests. When Sony introduced this battery, they claimed 2000 cycles at 80%
DoD. For such an extraordinary claim, there must be a catch. Do you have any
information about testing or a copy of their warranty?

Blue Planet - Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are a good option for off grid
and work very well with the Outback Radian inverters. They are rated at 8000
cycles (20+ years of daily cycling!!) to 100 depth of discharge and can be
monitored remotely. The batteries , like in the Sonnen system are made by Sony.
