This comes close to the nominal voltage of six-cell lead-acid battery (conventional car battery). The good safety characteristics makes LiFePO technology a great replacement for lead-acid batteries in many applications such as automotive and solar applications, provided the charging systems are adapted not to damage the LiFePO cells through excessive charging voltages, temperature-based voltage compensation, equalisation attempts or continuous trickle charging. The LiFePO cells must be at least balanced initially before the pack is assembled and a protection system also needs to be implemented to ensure no cell can be discharged below a voltage of 2.0\u00a0V or severe damage will occur in most instances.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;green&#8221; align=&#8221;align_center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;&#8221;
