From Lead-Acid to Lightning Fast: A 48V Lithium Battery Upgrade That Delivers - Client Testimonial

Installation Date: October 2021

When it comes to energy storage, not all batteries are created equal. One of our latest customers made the switch from a traditional 48V lead-acid system to an LBSA lithium battery pack, and the difference was immediately clear — especially when it comes to charging speed and efficiency.

 Client Feedback:

*“Good day. I am so happy with my lithium pack. Installed 4 months ago — just in time for load shedding.
My biggest surprise was how quickly this pack can charge!
I used to have 12 x 100Ah lead-acid batteries on a 48V system and there is no comparison.

Thanks Lithium SA for the great customer experience, service, and delivery.
You are highly recommended.”*

The Upgrade: 48V Lithium Battery Pack vs. Lead-Acid System

The client previously used 12 x 100Ah lead-acid batteries configured in a 48V system — a bulky, slow-charging setup with limited usable capacity and a shorter lifespan.

By upgrading to a 48V lithium battery pack from Lithium Batteries South Africa, they experienced:

• Significantly faster charging times

• Higher usable capacity due to superior Depth of Discharge (DoD)

• Compact design compared to bulky lead-acid banks

• Longer lifespan with over 6000–7000 cycles

• Plug-and-play integration into their existing inverter setup

The Benefits of Switching to Lithium Batteries:

• More efficient solar usage — faster charging means more energy captured even on cloudy days

• Less maintenance — lithium packs are sealed and maintenance-free

• Better value over time with a lower cost per kWh

• Smaller footprint, saving space in home energy rooms or cabinets

• Smooth transition from lead-acid systems, especially at 48V

Customer Experience That Stands Out

Alongside the performance, this client praised LBSA’s service, delivery, and communication, noting how smoothly the process went — from the purchase to installation.

“Thanks Lithium SA for the great customer experience and service. You are highly recommended.”

Ready to Ditch Lead-Acid?

If you’re still using old 48V lead-acid battery banks, now’s the time to upgrade. LBSA’s lithium packs are designed for quick installation, efficient charging, and reliable performance during load shedding — exactly what South African homes need right now.
