LiFePO4 Specifications
When you are out in the market to buy a battery for your electric bike, one question haunts you: What exactly to ask? If you are looking for a simple, cheap yet a robust battery, then we recommend LiFePO4 (LFP) battery. But before you procure a LFP battery, it is advisable to know some basic specifications.
Let us start with the voltage rating. It starts with 2.8V. But widely used working voltage is 3V-3.3V. Maximum available voltage is 3.6V. You can choose accordingly. Volumetric energy density available is 220 WH/L. Gravimetric energy density provided by the battery is 90 WH/Kg. it provides 2000-7000 life cycles. Cathode configuration may vary according to manufacturer. Even cell configuration varies according to manufacturer. Different manufacturer provide batteries with different cathode and cell configuration. So check out these configurations while shopping and select according to your requirements. After you get a suitable LFP battery, don’t forget to check its suitable working conditions. Normally, they work at room temperature and voltage limit ranging between 2.5-4.2V.
Finally, we will advice you to take good care of your battery because it is the most important part of your electric bike and kit. Normally, maintenance manual is provided with the battery, so it will serve you good!
