Batteries that have lithium as their anode are known as Lithium batteries. Lithium batteries can be divided into three on the basis of the technology used in them. They are Lithium-Ion, Lithium Phosphate and Lithium Polymer batteries. Lithium Iron batteries, otherwise known as LiFePo4 batteries are the most advanced one among lithium batteries. Like any other batteries, Li-iron (LiFePo4) batteries consist of components like cathode, anode, electrolyte, separator and current collector. In a Lithium Iron battery, Lithium Iron Phosphate is the cathode material and a graphite carbon electrode with metallic backing is the anode.

As we all know, lithium batteries are widely recognized worldwide compared to other battery technologies such as nickel, silver, lead, etc. In addition to the common advantages of lithium batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries have many advantages. This new lithium solution is inherently non-flammable, and at the same time has a slightly lower energy density.

LiFePO4 batteries are not only safer, but also offer many advantages over other lithium chemistries, especially in high-power applications, such as longer lifespan, maintenance-free, extremely safe, lightweight, and improved discharge and charge efficiency.

Safety And Stability

LiFePO4 batteries are best known for their strong safety profile, the result of extremely stable chemistry. Phosphate-based batteries offer superior thermal and chemical stability which provides an increase in safety over lithium-ion batteries made with other cathode materials. Lithium phosphate cells are incombustible, which is an important feature in the event of mishandling during charging or discharging. They can also withstand harsh conditions, be it freezing cold, scorching heat or rough terrain.

When subjected to hazardous events, such as collision or short-circuiting, they won’t explode or catch fire, significantly reducing any chance of harm.

Performance

Performance is the main factor in deciding which type of battery to use in a given application. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) have 100% usable capacity. Additionally, their fast charge and discharge rates make them ideal for a variety of applications. Fast charging reduces downtime and increases efficiency. High discharge pulse current provides burst power in short time. And LiFePo4 has 10 times the lifespan of ordinary lead-acid batteries, and zero maintenance, which can reduce cost-effectiveness.

Lightweight champion

Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) offer high power density which causes lithium batteries to be relatively small and light. Compared to lead-acid batteries lithium provides great energy density and are at least half the mass. It provides efficient use of space and weight. To make the overall product more efficient.

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic

LiFePO4 batteries are non-toxic, non-contaminating and contain no rare earth metals, and are non-flammable even when mishandled, causing no damage to the environment.
