Smart Lithium Battery 150Ah vs. 160Ah; Why is the 160Ah so heavy in comparison?

Hi,

I am thinking about, how to replace my old AGM batteries and was reading data sheets.

I spotted this:

150Ah: 20Kg; 160Ah: 33Kg

Why is the 160Ah Lithium batt. so heavy in comparison to the 150Ah version?

Is this a typo?

Regards,

Markus

Hello, Yes, these numbers are correct, this is because the energy density in the LFP cel's is improved over time. The latest added models (100Ah and the 150Ah) are therefore lighter per kWh then others (as the 90Ah and 160Ah). (and yes, these last mentioned models will be discontinued in the future.)
