The Power Behind the Shift: Why Solid State Lithium Telecom Batteries (Li) Matter

In the telecom industry, reliability isn’t optional—it’s a necessity. For years, traditional lead-acid and even conventional lithium-ion batteries dominated the market. But as demands on infrastructure increased—longer service hours, more electronic loads, and higher safety standards—older technologies began to show their limitations.

Enter Solid State Lithium Telecom Batteries (Li), from Big Red Battery, powered by ChargeX technology and brought to you by NDC.

These advanced batteries replace the liquid or gel electrolytes found in traditional lithium-ion batteries with solid electrolytes. The result? A leap forward in energy density, safety, durability, and performance.

Key Advantages of Solid State Lithium Telecom Batteries (Li):

  • Enhanced Safety: Solid electrolytes significantly reduce the risk of fire or explosion. No liquid means no thermal runaway—a major concern with conventional lithium batteries.
  • Higher Energy Density: More power in a smaller, lighter package. Ideal for telecom sites where space and weight are at a premium.
  • Longer Lifespan: These batteries typically last thousands of cycles longer than lead-acid or standard lithium-ion alternatives.
  • Faster Charging: Time is critical in telecom operations. Solid state lithium batteries charge faster, minimizing downtime.
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: Designed to perform in harsh conditions, from tropical climates to cold northern environments.

With these advantages, the Big Red Battery with its solid State Lithium tech is becoming the preferred choice for serious telecom infrastructure—and NDC is at the forefront of delivering these benefits to customers.

What Makes Big Red Battery Different?

Big Red Battery distinguishes itself by delivering purpose-built energy solutions specifically engineered for the demands of telecom environments. From cutting-edge safety features to drop-in simplicity, every detail reflects a commitment to performance, durability, and innovation.

Industry-First Design

While many battery technologies are adapted from automotive or industrial use, Big Red Battery is built from the ground up for reliable operation in telecom applications. This includes corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction, vibration damping, waterproof sealing, and explosion-proof design—ensuring reliability in the harshest conditions.

True Solid-State Technology

These are not hybrid or semi-solid batteries. Big Red offers true solid-state lithium batteries, delivering industry-leading energy density, superior thermal stability, and unmatched safety. Built-in thermal fuses and flame-retardant electrolytes add extra layers of protection.

Bolted Cell Design for Maximum Conductivity

Each battery features a bolted cell configuration that maximizes current flow and enhances long-term performance. This robust internal structure reduces resistance, boosts reliability, and improves safety under high loads.

Built-in Thermal Fuse & High-Pressure Safety Vent

To prevent overheating, every battery includes a thermal fuse and high-pressure safety vent, offering peace of mind during extreme operating conditions or high-output scenarios.

Smart Monitoring Systems

Every Big Red Battery includes an intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) that provides real-time data, performance optimization, and alerts. From small cell sites to large data hubs, this smart system ensures peak efficiency and reliability at all times.

Built-in Battery Protection

The integrated protection system continuously monitors voltage, temperature, and current, guarding against overcharge, over-discharge, short circuits, and overheating—automatically maintaining optimal battery health.

Drop-In Replacement

Big Red Batteries are available in standard BCI group sizes (Group 24, 27, 31, 4D, 8D), and other custom sizes, making them a true plug-and-play upgrade for traditional lead-acid systems or other lithium solutions. Simply connect your battery cables—and you’re ready to go.

Modular Design

Need more power or longer runtime? Big Red’s modular architecture allows multiple batteries to be connected in series or parallel, scaling voltage, capacity, and output to meet any infrastructure’s energy demands.

70% Lighter Than Lead

With an average weight reduction of 70% compared to similarly sized lead-acid batteries, Big Red Batteries increase site efficiency and reduce load—without sacrificing power. Plus, they’re free of toxic lead, acid, or gases.

100% Depth of Discharge (DOD)

Unlike traditional batteries that degrade rapidly when deeply discharged, Big Red Batteries can safely be discharged to 100% of their rated capacity—giving you every available amp-hour when you need it most.

Long Life: 3000–5000+ Cycles

With a cycle life of over 3000 to 5000 charge/discharge cycles, Big Red Batteries dramatically outlast AGM, gel, and even standard lithium-ion batteries. That means fewer replacements, lower total cost of ownership, and maximum reliability over the long haul.

Environmental Responsibility

From longer lifespan to higher energy efficiency, Big Red Batteries help reduce the telecom industry’s carbon footprint. Fewer replacements mean less waste, and greater energy efficiency reduces overall emissions for a more sustainable future.

Safety First: Why Solid State Lithium is the Smart Telecom Choice

Telecom safety is non-negotiable. One of the strongest selling points for Solid State Lithium Telecom Batteries (Li)—and by extension, Big Red Battery systems—is its impeccable safety profile.

The Fire Risk with Conventional Batteries

Traditional lithium-ion batteries use flammable liquid electrolytes. In the event of a puncture, overheating, or internal short, these can cause catastrophic thermal events—essentially, fires or explosions that are difficult to extinguish at critical infrastructure sites.

Solid State = Peace of Mind

With solid electrolytes, the battery chemistry is inherently stable. Even when damaged, Solid State Lithium Telecom Batteries (Li) are highly resistant to ignition. This is a critical factor for any facility carrying sensitive or critical communication equipment.

National Data Contractor takes this safety one step further, integrating custom enclosures, alarms, and redundancies into every installation to ensure maximum protection and compliance.
