LiFePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery technology offers several advantages over other types of batteries such as NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt), GEL, and AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat).
Safety
LiFePo4 batteries have a higher thermal stability and lower flammability rate than NMC batteries. They also don’t produce dangerous gases or experience thermal runaway, making them a safer option.
Cycle life
LiFePo4 batteries have a longer cycle life than NMC batteries. They can maintain 80% of their capacity after 2000 cycles, while NMC batteries lose 20% of their capacity after only 1000 cycles.
Temperature tolerance
LiFePo4 batteries have a wider operating temperature range than GEL batteries. They can operate in temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, while GEL batteries can only operate between 0°C to 50°C.
Deep discharge recovery
LiFePo4 batteries have a better deep discharge recovery than AGM batteries. They can recover to 90% capacity after a deep discharge, while AGM batteries can only recover to 70%.
Cost-Effectiveness
LiFePo4 batteries are more cost-effective than AGM batteries in the long run. They have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance, which can save you money over time.
Overall
LiFePo4 batteries offer a combination of safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness that makes it a superior option over NMC, GEL and AGM batteries.
