Technical FAQs 4

Can I replace my lead acid battery with a lithium ion one?

Yes, you can replace a lead acid battery with a lithium ion one. However, there are some things you need to know first before making the transition. You will not need an external charger to charge your lithium ion battery. The alternator will charge the new lithium ion battery the same as it charges the lead acid batteries.

Do I need to replace my base station's batteries?

If you're not certain which system you have, see the Which Version of the SimpliSafe® System Do I Have article. You will likely never need to replace your Base Station's batteries as they are rechargeable and meant to last. The Base Station takes four (4) 1.2V, 1300mAh nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.

How do I install lithium ion batteries?

When installing lithium-ion batteries, it is important to ensure that the battery box is properly secured and that the batteries are properly installed. Unlike lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries do not require ventilation and can be installed in any orientation.

Should I switch from a lead-acid to a lithium-ion battery?

The cost implications of switching from a lead-acid to a lithium-ion battery for a UPS system will depend on several factors, including the size of the system and the type of lithium-ion battery you choose. Lithium-ion batteries are generally more expensive than lead-acid batteries, but they also have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance.
