General Electric reported on April 29 that Barclays Capital pointed out that if China follows the economic development model of its neighboring Asian countries, the consumption of aluminum and copper in China may increase to three times the current level in the next 10 to 15 years. The amount will reach unprecedented highs.

Barclays economist Gayle Berry said that the metal-intensive economic growth pattern in the early stages will continue until the per capita GDP (GDP) at the purchasing power parity level reaches 15,000 U.S. dollars, which is just over 5,000 per capita GDP. For the US dollar, this means that there is still a long way to go. Berry said that with the gradual affluence of the country, domestic demand will exert more influence on the economy than government expenditure, which will herald the intensive use of copper and aluminum. In this stage of development, the consumption of copper and aluminum is the fastest growing.

Barclays said that according to the same development period, China's use of copper is still lower than its Asian neighbors, indicating that there is still room for significant increases in China's copper prices in the future. Copper prices rose only high enough to curb demand.

72V Lithium-ion Battery Pack

The UFO Lithium Battery Packs include the popular sizes used in the lead-acid batteries but with the advantages of LiFePO4 technology. It maintains a ideal performance for deep cycle applications. At the heart of each UFO Bluetooth Lithium batteries is UFO PCM to take control of the battery performance and prevent the batteries from potential failure.

The Advantages of Lithium-ion Battery Pack

1.Higher energy density

The higher energy density of lithium-ion battery pack means we are going to get more power out of the same physical size cell than we could get from a lead-acid battery. So when using lithium-ion battery for electronic gear, it means more runtime but less weight.

2.Less weight

Less weight could be a big advantage for most electronic applications that need to be in a compact size and lightweight for use, including mobile applications, robots, drones, floor scrubbers, RVs. A lot of power is used for those devices, so less weight would be certainly an advantage for mobile applications.

3.Thousands VS hundreds of cycles

More cycles are an advantage by a lithium product we`re gonna get. You know the lithium batteries could provide thousands of cycles versus lead-acid batteries which only offer hundreds of cycles. It is a big difference in the cycling ability of lithium over lead-acid batteries.

4.Charge and discharge rate

We are able to discharge a lithium product much quicker than that of a lead-acid product and get the same capacity. If the lithium-ion battery pack is discharged to 80%, you can still get a good lifespan. But doing that with a lead-acid battery will damage its lifespan. Generally, a lead-acid battery can only use fifty percent of the discharge. The recharge time is quicker on a lithium product as well especially if we have a charger that`s large enough to put the capacity back. The lithium-ion battery packs have a low self-discharge rate of only 1-2% per month.


5. Less Maintenance

When using lead-acid batteries for power supply, regular maintenance is essential to ensure the battery performance. However, when purchasing lithium-ion batteries for power use, less maintenance is required. The lithium-ion cells is more stable with good performance. It saves a lot of time for maintenance and cost for replacement.
