Higher energy density
According to reports, the mass production of lithium iron phosphate batteries housed in square aluminum shells is set to see some significant improvements in 2018. Specifically, it is expected that the monomer energy density of these batteries will reach about 160Wh/kg. And if that's not impressive enough, some of the industry-leading battery manufacturers may be able to achieve an energy density level as high as 175-180Wh/kg by 2019. There are also some powerful manufacturers who use a laminated process to create even larger batteries with a density of up to 185Wh/kg. This is incredible progress and it's exciting to see what further developments we will see in the near future.
Good security
The stability of the electrochemical properties in the cathode material of a lithium iron phosphate battery ensures a consistent and secure charging and discharging process. Consequently, the battery's structure remains unchanged, eliminating the risk of combustion or explosion. Moreover, the battery maintains its high level of safety even in exceptional circumstances such as short circuits, overcharging, extrusion, or needle punctures. Rest assured that this battery is built to withstand any demanding condition without compromising safety standards.
Long cycle life
Lithium iron phosphate batteries have an impressive cycle life of 2000 times at 1C, with some even reaching over 3500 times. For the energy storage market, a cycle life of 4000-5000 times is required for a lifespan of 8-10 years, surpassing the cycle life of ternary batteries, which is more than 1000 times. Compared to long-life lead-acid batteries, Lithium iron phosphate batteries outperform with a cycle life of about 300 times.
