  7. Battery safety isn’t proven by words. It’s proven under pressure. On the day of this demonstration, we put the LBSA StormGuard Inferno High Voltage Battery through an extreme real-world fire test — exposing the system to actual flames and intense heat conditions to see how it would perform. This was not a simulation. This was not a controlled animation. 🔥 Real fire. Real flames. Real conditions. During the test: 🛡️ The external casing was exposed to sustained fire and extreme temperatures ❄️ The internal battery structure remained protected 🔥 Thermal propagation was prevented during the demonstration After the fire was extinguished using Fireblock FFG Firefighting Gel, the battery was inspected internally, revealing that the protection system had done its job. The purpose of this demonstration was simple: To show that lithium battery safety must be engineered into the system from the start. With StormGuard Inferno HV and Fireblock technology, LBSA continues to push the boundaries of safer energy storage. ⚡ StormGuard Inferno HV Built for the Elements. Engineered for Fire.

  9. At Lithium Batteries South Africa (LBSA), we’re seeing more farmers streamline their operations with solar-powered VSD systems. But many still face one big limitation: VSDs rely completely on solar to run equipment like pivots. That’s where our Rhino Intelliflex High Voltage Battery steps in. Our HV battery can be connected directly to a VSD via the MPPT input by wiring the battery in parallel with the solar panels. This gives your system the flexibility farmers have been asking for. Here’s how it works: During the day Your solar panels power your load through the VSD while the battery absorbs any excess energy. In the evening (around 6 p.m.) When your solar panels stop producing power, the battery automatically takes over - allowing you to run equipment like pivots for a few extra hours after sunset. Early mornings (5 a.m. to 8 a.m.) Before the sun is up and your PV comes alive again, the battery powers your pivots. Once daylight returns, the battery recharges using the available solar energy. Important for proper operation: Your solar array’s open-circuit voltage (Voc) should be 15–40% higher than the battery’s charge voltage. This ensures the battery charges effectively during the day. With LBSA, your solar-powered VSD setup doesn’t stop when the sun goes down - and neither does your farm.
