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.
