At Lithium Batteries South Africa (LBSA), we believe that energy storage should be flexible, user-friendly, and future-proof. One of the most common concerns when it comes to expanding or maintaining a lithium battery system is adding or replacing batteries without disrupting the existing setup. That’s where our intelligent hot-swapping technology comes in.
What Is Hot Battery Swapping?
Hot swapping refers to the ability to add or replace a battery in your system without needing to power it down or perfectly match voltage levels. Traditionally, this process could be risky or complicated — requiring careful voltage matching, professional tools, or even taking the entire system offline.
But not anymore.
How It Works: Bidirectional Current Limiting
- Our battery system features a built-in bidirectional current limiter, which allows you to:
- Add a new battery regardless of its state of charge (SOC) or voltage
- Automatically balance the new battery by either charging or discharging it
- Manage the balancing process at up to 10A
This intelligent system ensures that the new battery safely integrates into your rack without user intervention — no specialist tools, no complicated setup, and no downtime.
Why It Matters
Whether you're expanding your solar storage capacity or replacing an aging battery, you can do it faster, safer, and smarter with LBSA’s technology. That means:
- No delays in scaling your system
- Minimal downtime
- Reduced technical risk
- Simple plug-and-play replacement
This feature is especially valuable for installers and off-grid customers, where time and continuity are critical.
Built for Growth, Designed for Simplicity
With LBSA's hot-swap-friendly design, your energy system can grow alongside your needs. Whether you're adding one battery or scaling up an entire rack, the process is as smooth as it is smart.
