FAQs: Energy Storage Essentials

What''s the typical lifespan of industrial storage systems?

Most modern systems last 12-15 years with proper maintenance, though actual performance depends on cycle frequency and depth of discharge.

How does temperature affect battery performance?

Capacity can decrease by 15-20% in sub-zero conditions. Always specify thermal management systems for outdoor installations.

With proper implementation, energy storage systems can transform your energy economics. The key lies in matching technology capabilities with operational requirements – something that requires both technical expertise and practical experience.
