A lithium iron phosphate battery is a type of lithium-ion battery. Its cathode material is lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), the anode is typically graphite, and the electrolyte consists of organic solvents and lithium salts. Due to its advantages in safety, cycle life, stability, and environmental friendliness, LiFePO4 batteries have garnered significant attention and widespread application.
Key Features and Applications:
High Safety:
LiFePO4 batteries exhibit exceptional safety performance. They are highly resistant to overcharging, over-discharging, and high temperatures, significantly reducing the risk of fire or explosion.
Long Cycle Life:
These batteries offer an extended cycle life, capable of enduring thousands of deep charge-discharge cycles with minimal performance degradation.
Rapid Charging/Discharging:
LiFePO4 batteries support efficient fast charging and discharging, enabling quick energy transfer in short timeframes.
Applications:
Transportation Electrification:
EV/Hybrid Vehicles: Preferred for commercial EVs (buses, trucks) and hybrid systems requiring high cycle life
Marine & RV: Dominates the auxiliary power unit (APU) market due to vibration resistance
E-Mobility: Powers 78% of global electric bicycles and scooters
Energy Storage Systems
Residential ESS: Integrates with solar PV systems.
Grid-Scale Storage: Deployed in 100MWh+ installations for frequency regulation
Telecom Backup: Replaces lead-acid in 48V DC power systems
Industrial Equipment
Construction Machinery: Powers electric excavators and forklifts
Medical Devices: Used in portable MRI systems and emergency power carts
Aerospace: Deployed in satellite power systems and ground support equipment
