As telecom networks expand into remote and off-grid areas, reliable energy storage becomes essential. Traditionally powered by diesel generators and lead-acid batteries, telecom base stations are now upgrading to lithium battery systems. Here’s why lithium is the future for telecom power backup.

1. Compact and Lightweight

Space is premium in telecom tower enclosures. Lithium batteries are 60–70% lighter and take up less space than lead-acid alternatives—making installation faster and easier.

2. High Energy Efficiency

With round-trip efficiency of 95%+, lithium batteries waste less energy, meaning more of your solar or grid input is effectively stored and used.

3. Wide Temperature Range

Whether it’s desert heat or sub-zero conditions, LiFePO4 batteries can operate from –20°C to +60°C, ensuring consistent performance worldwide.

4. Long Service Life

With 3000–6000 cycles, lithium batteries last up to 5x longer than VRLA batteries. Less maintenance and fewer replacements reduce TCO (total cost of ownership).

5. Remote Monitoring Capabilities

Smart BMS systems enable real-time voltage, temperature, and performance tracking—perfect for managing multiple tower sites from a central control hub.

Recommended Models for Telecom Use

• 48V 100Ah Rack-Mounted Lithium Battery – Modular design, UPS-compatible

• LiFePO4 51.2V 200Ah Backup Battery – Ideal for hybrid solar-diesel systems

Applications in Africa, Asia & LATAM

Wirentech’s lithium batteries have been successfully deployed in telecom towers across Kenya, India, and Brazil—significantly reducing downtime and operating costs.
