16 Volt Lithium Batteries
POWERLITE Lithium Batteries are the latest technology in extremely Lightweight High Power batteries.
Altronics Inc now offers two PowerLite 16‑volt lithium batteries: the Pro Series and the Standard Series.
PowerLite Pro Series batteries are proudly built in the USA using premium LithiumWerks (A123) LiFePO₄ cells, known for their unmatched cycle life. power, and reliability. Each pack includes a full‑protection BMS with onboard status LEDs, giving users real‑time visibility into battery health.
We’ve been building these packs for over a decade, and many of the units produced 10 years ago are still in service today—performing at roughly 95% of their original capacity. Their true lifespan is still unknown because they simply haven’t worn out yet. The Pro Series also includes an industry‑leading 4‑year full replacement warranty (never pro‑rated).
PowerLite Standard Series. The Standard Series delivers the same BMS protection and safety features in a slightly larger enclosure and weighs about one pound more. Capacity is 20Ah—just one amp‑hour below the Pro Series—while still providing similar cranking performance.
After two years of field testing, the Standard Series has shown excellent results and comes with a 1‑year warranty.
POWERLITE Lithium batteries feature an advanced Battery Management System that completely controls all battery functions.
- POWERLITE BMS protects from under/over charge, short circuit, over temperature, low voltage cutoff, and fully balance maintains battery.
- Only Lithium batteries with a BMS provide protection.
- Batteries claiming Internal "Balancers", Fuses, or Low voltage disconnects do NOT provide BMS protection.
- Caution using any Lithium battery without a BMS!
POWERLITE Lithium Benefits over Lead Acid
- Up to 7 times lighter
- Life expectancy of up to 10 years (2000 Charge Cycles - assumes typical 70% DOD and proper maintenance.)
- Charges up to 10 times faster
- Much more stable voltage and current output
- 16 Volt - faster cranking, runs pumps/fans more efficiently, always provides proper spark voltage
- A "Green" Product - Environmentally Safe
1 Year Warranty - PowerLite Standard - Must be purchased with POWERLITE charger
4 Year Warranty - PowerLite Pro Series Only - Must be purchased with POWERLITE charger
Note: This battery CAN be used to bump motor with starter when setting valves without any issues!
