GS Yuasa lithium ion batteries are manufactured with hightechnical knowhow, have high reliability thus also used in theinternational space station. The industrial use lithium ion batteries (LIM series) are designed based on technology andknowhow achieved from over 20 years of manufacturing lithium ion batteries for space, airplane and vehicle applications.
LIM series have been used in various applications since thestart of mass production in 2002 and have continued to provide reliable battery power to customers all around the world.

Features of the LIM Series
Wide range applications

The LIM series is mainly divided into two types, the high energy type with large capacity andthe high-power type which can do high current charge and discharge. The lineup has various
module capacities thus making it possible to design suitable sizes for the various customer needs.

High Reliability

Excellent battery safety design.
High safety and reliability is realized by using a Battery Management System (BMS) andeach battery module has a module monitoring PCB. This explains the rich installation recordthat has been achieved over more than 15 years since the start of mass production in 2002.

Long life

Designed to achieve long calendar life and high cycle life performance.
LIM30HL series have a cycle life performance of more than 30,000 cycle at DOD 100%.

High charge and discharge current performanceHigh power t ype batter y has an industr y top class of 600A (20C) charge and discharge
performance. The high energ y t y pe batter y a lso shows an excel lent performance w ith
maximum discharge current at 300A (6C).

PSOC ( PARTIAL STATE OF CHARGE )Not effected by partial state of charge ( PSOC) operation. The formation of sulfate crystals
that causes early failure in other battery chemistries is not a factor in this battery.

4ProductBattery Management System (LIBMⅡ)

The lithium ion battery requires appropriate battery management to protect the battery from over discharge, over charge, heat up etc. Eachbattery module is equipped with a battery monitoring PCB which measures and sends signals of cell voltage and module temperature to abattery management PCB（LIBMⅡ）which protects the battery in case of overcharge, overdischarge, over heatup or over current.

Features■

Balancing Function

Used to balance cell voltage of connected batteries.

■

State of Charge ( SOC ) Calculation

Automatically calculates SOC which can be monitored in real time via display.

■

Multiple Banks Batch Monitoring

Using a domain LIBMⅡ which is master of LIBMⅡs installedin each bank allows monitoring of large batter y system.

LIBMⅡ collects data from the module monitoring PCB and outputs status of the battery to an external device. In case of an abnormality,
LIBMⅡ will independently send signal to bank MCCB to disconnect battery bank. For a single battery bank application, only one LIBMⅡis required. In case of multiple battery banks, one LIBMⅡ for each bank and a domain LIBMⅡ is required to monitor all banks.

7System DesignThe LIM50EL-13 is a high-performance lithium ion battery module designed for telecom and other DC48V applications. It has anin-built BMS (Battery Management System) thus does not require an external BMS (LIBMⅡ). An optional Remote Monitoring Unit(IMUBM) can also be installed to allow remote monitoring of the lithium ion battery status. LIM50EL-13 has excellent cycle life
performance and can charge at 1C thus reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in regions with unstable or unavailable gridCommercial Power

Installation image
LIM50EL-13 can be mounted onto a 19 inch rack making installation and maintenance easy. In addition, using
LIM50EL-13 will save space and have less weight compared to lead acid batteries. Batter y capacity can be flexibly
increased to match customer needs by connecting multiple modules in parallel.
