U.S. BATTERY'S US48V105 ADDED TO THE ESSENTIAL Li® LINE OF 24V AND 48V BATTERIES THAT ARE UL 2271 CERTIFIED
The Essential Li® US48V105 deep-cycle battery is now UL 2771 Certified, along with the US48VGC2 and US24VGC2 batteries, which are part of U.S. Battery’s 48V and 24V lines of Lithium-ion deep-cycle products. The Essential Li® US48V105 is a larger-size golf car battery that has become a popular option for many golf car owners. A single US48V105 can replace multiple 48V GC2 batteries connected in parallel, and the cost is about the same per kilowatt-hour.
The certification process for UL 2271 involves testing the batteries against various forms of abuse, including overcharging, impact, short-circuiting, and overheating. UL 2271 ensures the battery has adequate measures in place to prevent fire or explosion when exposed to these adverse conditions.
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) is a global organization that tests and certifies products for safety. UL developed a standard known as UL 2271, which is the pinnacle of safety standards, sets requirements for the design, construction, and testing of batteries used in light electric vehicles.
Along with being UL 2271 Certified, the lineup of Essential Li® 48V and 24V deep-cycle batteries also have the following certifications for safety standards.
- UN 38.3: Certification by the U.S. Department of Transportation to be safe for transport in the U.S. and globally.
- UL 2580: Certification by UL for quality and safety of lithium-ion battery (or cell) used in electric vehicles (EVs). Proves the battery has passed testing through various damaging scenarios for electrical, mechanical, thermal, and environmental safety. Additionally, the manufacturer-specified charge and discharge temperatures fall within the specified parameters.
- IP67 Rated: A protection rating by the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) testing that ensures construction, preventing outside particles and moisture damage.
U.S. Battery subjects its products to various tests and certifications to ensure they meet the highest safety and durability standards, thereby confirming to consumers that the products are safe and reliable.
