What are the advantages and disadvantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries

Lithium iron phosphate battery refers to a lithium ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as the positive electrode material. The positive electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries mainly include lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium nickelate, ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate, etc. Among them, lithium cobalt oxide is the positive electrode material used in most lithium-ion batteries.

Disadvantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries

1. The tap density of the positive electrode of lithium iron phosphate battery is small
2. The electrical conductivity is poor, the diffusion rate of lithium ions is slow, and the actual specific capacity is low when charging and discharging at a high rate.
3. The low temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate battery is poor.
4. The life of a single lithium iron phosphate battery is long, about 2,500 times, but the life of a lithium iron phosphate battery pack is short, generally about 500 times

Advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries

1. The lithium iron phosphate battery has a long life, and the cycle life is more than 2500 times. Under the same conditions, lithium iron phosphate batteries can be used for 7 to 8 years.
2. It is safe to use. The lithium iron phosphate battery has undergone strict safety tests and will not explode even in a traffic accident.
3. Fast charging. Using a dedicated charger, 1.5C charging for 40 minutes can fully charge the battery.
4. The lithium iron phosphate battery is resistant to high temperature, and the hot air value of the lithium iron phosphate battery can reach 350 to 500 degrees Celsius.
5. The lithium iron phosphate battery has a large capacity.
6. Lithium iron phosphate battery has no memory effect.
7. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-polluting, with wide sources of raw materials and cheap prices.

Application field of lithium iron phosphate battery

Large electric vehicles: buses, electric vehicles, tourist attractions and hybrid vehicles, etc.;

Light electric vehicles: AGV industrial robots, warehouse PSB picking trolleys, electric bicycles, golf carts, small flat-bed battery vehicles, forklifts, cleaning vehicles, electric wheelchairs, etc.;

Electric tools: electric drills, chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc.;

Remote control cars, boats, airplanes and other toys;

Energy storage equipment for solar and wind power generation;

UPS and emergency lights, warning lights and miner's lamps (the best security);

Replace the 3V primary lithium battery and the 9V nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery in the camera (the size is exactly the same);

Small medical equipment and portable instruments, etc.
