The Difference between Lithium Iron Phosphate Batteries And Ordinary Lithium Batteries

The difference between lithium iron phosphate batteries and ordinary lithium batteries

⒈The typical voltage of lithium iron phosphate battery cell is 3.2V, and the typical voltage of lithium-ion battery is 3.7V

⒉ Lithium iron phosphate is resistant to overcharge and over-discharge, and can recover more than 80% after being overcharged to 0 for a short period of time. When lithium ions are overcharged to 2.6V, irreversible damage occurs.

⒊Lithium iron phosphate can withstand overcharging to 100% and will not catch fire or explode. Lithium-ion batteries will degas and bulge if they exceed 4.35V.

⒋Lithium iron phosphate will not catch fire or explode when punctured. Lithium ion does.

⒌Lithium iron phosphate is resistant to high temperatures and can still be used when it returns to temperatures above 200 degrees. Not lithium ion.

⑥Lithium iron phosphate can be discharged at high current, ranging from 10C to 20C or above, while lithium ion can only be discharged at 3~5C.

To sum up, lithium iron phosphate is the safest among lithium-ion batteries. However, the energy density of lithium iron phosphate is not as high as that of lithium-ion batteries. The voltage is also relatively low. Due to its large discharge characteristics, it is mainly used in power sources, such as electric vehicles, model aircraft, etc. Lithium ions have large capacity and are mainly used in civilian consumption fields.

The above is the difference between lifepo4 batteries and lithium-ion batteries.
