Lithium iron phosphate vs lithium-ion: differences and advantages

Published by BSLBATTFeb 29,2020

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), also called LFP, is one of the more recently-developed rechargeable battery chemistries and is a variation of lithium-ion chemistry. Rechargeable lithium iron phosphate batteries use LiFePO4 as the principle cathode material. Despite having a lower energy density than other lithium-ion chemistries, lithium iron phosphate batteries can provide better power density and longer life cycles. Lithium-Ion Lithium-ion can consist of two different chemistries for the cathode, lithium manganese oxide or lithium cobalt dioxide, as both have a graphite anode. It has a specific energy of 150/200 watt-hours per kilogram and a nominal voltage of 3.6V. Its charge rate is from 0.7C up to 1.0C as higher charges can significantly damage the battery. Lithium-ion has a discharge rate of 1C. BSLBATT is your premier LiFePO4 battery assembler. We manufacture custom lithium iron phosphate battery packs and assemblies for many app...

You can see the sunrise over the ocean or Deep Bay. As with any fishing, the expectations for the upcoming day are unparalleled. The feeling of excitement is similar to a child waking up on Christmas morning. It sounds a bit dramatic, but it’s true. Although the core of fishing is still a relatively straightforward hobby, there is no doubt that it has evolved with the times. Boats are no longer just “boats”, they have become fishing gear that can dive into the depths and shallows for potentially lurking giants. Electric ships have the advantages of environmental protection, zero pollution, safety, and low use costs. Their operating costs are significantly lower than those of diesel and LNG fueled ships. In addition, the electric ship has a simple structure, stable operation, low maintenance costs, and is more suitable for future environmental protection trends. At present, electric ships are mainly used in the civilian field. In the future, there will be more pu...

Batteries are just batteries, right? They store energy and give it off as needed. But the truth is, while all batteries store energy, there are significant differences in how that works for different types of batteries, and which of those batteries are most effective for different applications. Deep cycle batteries, for instance, may look a lot like car batteries to people who aren’t familiar with them, but in reality, they’re quite different. Before choosing a battery type, consider what you will be using it for. One battery type will be more suited to your specific purpose than another. In this post, we’ll dive into the world of deep cycle batteries. We’ll learn what they are and what they are used for. DEEP CYCLE BATTERY DEFINITION A lithium deep cycle battery is a lead battery designed to provide sustained power over a long period and run reliably until it is 80% discharged or more, at which point it needs to be recharged. It is important to note that...

25 million Americans traveled in RVs this spring and summer alone. The RV lifestyle has become a movement in the United States. RVers come from diverse backgrounds and age groups. There’s something about the freedom that an RV brings. Spending time with family, going off the grid, and enjoying nature are among the top reasons people love to RV. The downside? Lack of electricity. More and more RVers are turning to RV solar setups to power their lives while on the road. Keep reading to learn more about how RV solar works and why you should go solar today. How do solar panels work for RVs and motorhomes? In order to generate and use solar power for your RV, you’ll need a setup complete with the following components: Solar panels A charge controller to prevent overcharging your storage system Solar batteries to store energy (common options are lead-acid or lithium-ion) An inverter to convert DC electricity to AC electricity (occasionally pre-built into the solar battery compone...

New lithium batteries make electric forklifts an even more viable alternative to diesel vehicles. Electric forklifts have been around for years, but some recent developments with both battery technology and an introduction of more powerful forklifts have made the industry more receptive to the idea of switching over. The lithium-ion forklift battery is poised to revolutionize the materials handling industry. And when you compare the pros and cons of the lithium battery vs. lead-acid battery for powering your forklift or fleet of lift trucks, it is easy to understand why. The biggest reason is that the potential cost savings are enormous. It’s true that lithium forklift batteries do cost considerably more than lead-acid batteries, but they last 2-3 times longer and create dramatic savings in other areas that guarantee you a significantly lower total cost of ownership. “Major companies in big industries, such as the automotive industry, are driving the development in part because o...

Power to go—that’s the promise batteries deliver. They give us all the convenience of electricity in a handy, portable form. The only trouble is, most batteries run flat very quickly and unless you use a specialized charger, you then have to throw them away. It’s hard on your pocket and bad for the environment as well: worldwide, we throw away billions of disposable batteries every single year. Rechargeable batteries help to solve this problem and the best kind of use a technology called lithium-ion. Your cellphone, laptop computer, and MP3 player probably all use lithium-ion batteries. They’ve been in widespread use since about 1991, but the basic chemistry was first discovered by American chemist Gilbert Lewis (1875–1946) way back in 1912. Let’s take a closer look at how they work! What is a lithium-ion battery? What features does it have? A lithium-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery that is charged and discharged by lithium ions moving betwee...

With the continuous development of social science and technology, under the current situation of promoting energy conservation and environmental protection in the world, there are more and more energy-saving products on the market. For the forklift market, the coverage of electric forklifts is becoming wider and wider. For the purpose of traditional forklifts, electric forklifts are characterized by quietness, no pollution, low cost of use, long service life and low maintenance. At present, most of the batteries used in forklifts are lead-acid batteries, but they have gradually been replaced by lithium batteries. Therefore, the advantages of using a lithium battery in a forklift truck are numerous. However, there are still many technical bottlenecks in the development of lithium batteries, so what are they? It should be emphasized that the difference between a lithium battery forklift and a conventional electric forklift is not only as simple as replacing a battery. Wisdom Power ...

Charging and discharging batteries is a chemical reaction, but Li-ion is claimed to be the exception. Battery scientists talk about energies flowing in and out of the battery as part of ion movement between anode and cathode. This claim carries merits but if the scientists were totally right, then the battery would live forever. They blame capacity fade on ions getting trapped, but as with all battery systems, internal corrosion and other degenerative effects also known as parasitic reactions on the electrolyte and electrodes till play a role. Lithium-ion batteries are considered to be far better than other battery chemistries, but the same as any other batteries. They can’t escape the fact that they can’t stay all day long to power heavily used gadgets or devices. These batteries will require recharging at some point which can be very frustrating to users. What more if the charger is missing or broken? Here we are going to provide you a guide on how to charge a lithium-ion batte...
