LITHIUM
There is not just one type of lithium-ion battery, but rather many different kinds that differ in terms of their chosen construction materials.
The element that these different batteries share is the lithium ion, which carries the electric charge (Li+). Lithium is the element with the greatest negative potential and so, by pairing it with another element, we can achieve a high potential difference that is directly proportional to the energy of a cell. Lithium is an alkaline metal, the third element on the periodic table, with a low atomic weight and substantial reactivity, characteristics that make it extremely attractive for use in storage batteries.
On average, a lithium-ion battery generates 3V compared to the 2.1V of a lead-acid battery and 1.5V of zinc-carbon battery.
THE VARIOUS TYPES OF LITHIUM
Thanks to the experience and expertise we have acquired over many years, we’re no longer stopping at just one lithium-ion cell technology, like our competitors, but we are offering our clients all kinds of lithium-ion batteries available.
Your product will get the best possible solution.
Always.
This is XBW’s real REVOLUTION!
4 types of lithium
Research. Customization. Cutting-edge.
Nanotech TECHNOLOGY (NMC+LiFeP04+LTO)
Hybrid technology for automotive, defence and aerospace applications.
This type of cell incorporates the advantages offered by NMC, LFP and LTO technologies in a single product.
The elevated power available and the safety features mean that NANO cells are perfect for extreme operating conditions.
NMC TECHNOLOGY
Featuring high performance, this technology has established itself across all applications that require real performance. It is perfect for anyone lacking space, with no time to lose and who don’t want to carry too much weight.
A powerful battery with an extremely long life span.
LiFeP04 TECHNOLOGY
This technology is commonly found in electric vehicles and storage applications for FTV.
Outstanding performance, excellent safety and a competitive price: this is a balanced choice.
NMC+LMO hybrid TECHNOLOGY
Weighing little more than a lead-acid battery,
it guarantees significant operational advantages.
The good performance and truly affordable price make this the best technology for anyone who is looking for an energy battery
with all the advantages of Technology & Lithium.
THE REVOLUTION OF YOUR PRODUCT
While lead-acid batteries make it impossible to achieve the results you need, XBW batteries with Technology & Lithium solve your problem:
quick recharging times

Forget about maintenance processes, times and costs for your battery, your client will only have to focus on their work.
trickle charging
The option of charging when you want, how much you want, will give your product the freedom it was lacking
cycle life
The long cycle life will mean less energy and time is lost organising and managing frequent battery replacements for the most demanding applications
calendar life
The deterioration in performance caused by ageing is too slow to worry about. You won’t even notice it.
weight
The weight of lead-acid batteries can be a big problem, but it can be overcome: choose whether to increase the on-board energy for the same weight or to reduce it by a third and get the same energy. Transform your product
volume
The maximum volume allowed, which is a considerable limitation for lead-acid batteries, is overcome because you can charge more energy with the same volume
on-board technology

remote control
It lets you:
Check/study the functioning of your product Check/study your product’s energy consumption
Improve the profitability of your system
Check the health status of your battery
Get a predictive diagnosis for the battery
Get notifications in the event of anomalies
Promptly organize interventions, preventing sudden stops
