[{"type":"text","content":"Braille Energy Systems Inc. Overcomes Major Cold Weather Hurdle Common in Lithium-Ion Batteries for Its Fleet-Lite Group 31 Fleet BatteryOTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2021 / Braille Energy Systems Inc. (formerly Mincom Capital Inc.) (TSX-V:BES) (\"BESI\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that it has completed its Cold Weather Testing Program on its F31 FLEET-LITE Commercial Fleet Battery.As previously communicated in a Company press release dated August 2, 2018, the F31 Lithium Battery was designed as a replacement alternative to Group 31 Lead Acid and AGM batteries primarily for Commercial Trucking applications. The main attributes of the Braille Battery F31 lithium-ion replacement battery solution include:1/3 the weight of a Traditional Group 31 Lead resulting which can result in an increase in payload and reduce work-related injuries\"All in one\" solution can be used for starting applications or deep cycle power supplyDouble the cranking amps of leading Group 31 AGM BatteriesLonger lasting than traditional Lead Acid and AGM Batteries….6000+ Life CycleCharges 5X faster than Lead Acid and AGMCan be connected to Solar ChargerMaintenance free in comparison with lead-acidManufactured in the USA\"Given the impact of severe cold climate within the commercial trucking industry and the effect of cold weather in lithium batteries, it was crucial we highlight the design architecture of our Fleet-Lite Group 31 Lithium Battery under such conditions,\" said BESI President and CEO, Lindsay Weatherdon. \"Lithium Batteries in general should not be discharged or charged below -4℉ (-20℃) which has been a barrier to entry for Lithium Technology in the Commercial Trucking Industry; the objective was to highlight the length of time that our F31 Fleet Battery will maintain core temperature above -4℉ (-20℃) during rest breaks or hotelling when the truck is not operational. The results are very impressive.\"Length of time It takes for F31's internal temperature to drop to -4℉ (-20℃) from 104℉ (40℃) under -22℉ (-30℃) environment = 17 HoursLength of time it takes about for F31's internal temperature to drop to -4℉ (-20℃) from 104℉ (40℃) under -40℉ (-40℃) environment = 11 HoursThe testing report was performed by Eurofins...
