LiFePO4 Advantages
When it comes to selecting an appropriate battery for your e-bike, there are many good reasons why a LFP battery is considered superior to others. LFP batteries are widely available in the market. If you don’t get a LFP when you visit an electric store, consider it your hard luck! In this blog we will be discussing various advantages LFP hold against other lithium ion batteries, particularly lithium cobalt oxide batteries (LCO).
To start with, we will discuss the safety. LFP batteries have high thermal runaway characteristics, so they provide an improved safety when compared with LCO batteries. If you consider life of the battery then LFP batteries will out run the LCO batteries due to all the additions, which we discussed in the previous article. Another reason for their long life is they provide longer cycle. A complete cycle includes a single charging and discharging activity. Longer the time difference between these two, longer will be the cycle. Also, they have higher current and peak power rating which outclasses LCO batteries.
Finally, use of Iron and Phosphorus makes LFP battery have a lower environmental impact as compared to cobalt, which is used in LCO batteries. All these advantages make LFP battery the most suitable battery for your beloved electric bike!
