Going Green, Going Safe

Instead of lead-acid batteries, Lithium iron phosphate batteries become the mainstream of the automotive industry from electric cars, motorcycles, heavy vehicles to off-road equipment. Lithium iron phosphate batteries help to reduce the weight and volume, improve charge and discharge performance, increase lifetime and avoid Pb (lead) in the environment. It also help to  offer greater range, power and safety. They provide full power until they are completely discharged, and recharge in just 2.5 hours. LiFePO4 chemistry is also environmentally friendly — it’s the least toxic of all the battery types.

Here’s a list of all the advantages of LiFePo4 batteries:
- Safe technology — will not catch fire or explode with overcharge
- Over 2000 (DOD 100%) discharge cycles life compared to typically around 300 for lead acid
- Double the usable capacity of similar amp hour lead acid batteries
- Virtually flat discharge curve means maximum power available until fully discharged (no “voltage sag” as with lead acid batteries)
- High discharge rate capability, 10C continuous, 20C pulse discharge
- Unlike lead acid batteries, can be left in a partially discharged state for extended periods without causing permanent damage
- Extremely low self discharge rate (unlike lead acid which will go flat quite quickly if left sitting for long periods)
- Does not suffer from “thermal runaway”
- Can be used safely in high ambient temperatures of up to 60C without any degradation in performance
- Maintenance free for the life of the battery
- Can be operated in any orientation
- Does not contain any toxic heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, nor any corrosive acids or alkalies thus making LiFePO4 batteries the most environmentally friendly battery chemistry available
- LiFePO4 cells are of solid construction — there are no fragile/brittle plates made of lead which can be prone to failure over time as a result of vibration
- Can be safely rapidly recharged — when fully discharged can be brought to a state of over 90% fully charged in 15 minutes
