What is the real lifespan of Lifepo4 Battery? In fact, the lifespan of lithium battery packs is almost the same. Whether it is Lifepo4 Battery or ternary lithium battery, the actual service life is related to the user's usage and protection.

What is Lifepo4 Battery?

Lifepo4 Battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material. It is characterized by strong safety and stability, high temperature resistance and good cycle performance.

What is the real lifespan of Lifepo4 Battery?

The cycle life of long-life lead-acid batteries is about 300 times, and the maximum is 500 times. Lithium iron phosphate power battery has a cycle life of more than 2,000 times. Lead-acid batteries of the same quality last "half a year for new ones, half a year for old ones, and another half year for maintenance," which is 1 to 1.5 years at most. However, when used under the same conditions, the theoretical life of Lifepo4 Battery will reach 7 to 8 years.

Lifepo4 Battery can generally be used for about 8 years; but if it is used in the south. The life of Lifepo4 Battery is even longer than 8 years. The theoretical life of Lifepo4 Battery also exceeds 2,000 charge and discharge cycles. Even if it is charged once a day, it can last for more than five years. Generally speaking, for daily household use, it takes three days to recharge, and it can last about eight years. However, due to the poor low-temperature performance of Lifepo4 Battery, the life of Lifepo4 Battery will be relatively longer in the southern region.

Lifepo4 Battery has a service life of about 5,000 times. The battery is produced with its own number of cycles and discharges (such as one thousand times). If the battery is charged and discharged more than this number, the battery will end its life. A complete discharge will seriously affect the use of the battery, so do not Over-discharge will be fine.

Advantages of Lifepo4 Battery compared with lead-acid batteries:

1. Large capacity.

Lithium battery cells can be made from 5Ah to 1000Ah (1Ah = 1000mAh), while lead-acid battery 2V cells are usually 100Ah to 150Ah, with a small variation range.

2. Light weight. 

The volume of Lifepo4 Battery with the same capacity is 2/3 of the volume of lead-acid battery, and the weight is 1/3 of the latter.

3. Strong fast charging capability.

The starting current of Lifepo4 Battery can reach 2C, achieving high-rate charging; the current requirement of lead-acid batteries is generally between 0.1C and 0.2C, which cannot achieve fast charging performance.

4. Environmental protection. 

Lead-acid batteries contain a large amount of heavy metal, lead, and produce waste liquid. Lifepo4 Battery does not contain any heavy metals and is pollution-free during production and use.

5. High cost performance. 

Although lead-acid batteries have cheaper materials and lower purchase costs than lfp battery, their service life and routine maintenance are less economical than Lifepo4 Battery. Practical application results show that the cost performance of Lifepo4 Battery is more than 4 times that of lead-acid batteries.
