What is a LiFePO4 battery & why choose one?

The LiFePO4 battery isn't so popular for nothing: it's the highest-quality lithium battery and also 70 percent lighter than usual. The substance "iron phosphate" offers many advantages, among other things. Curious? Read on.

1. Years of fun

LiFePO4 batteries live up to their name. They have a longer lifespan than other types of lithium-ion batteries. They can withstand many more charge and discharge cycles before their performance diminishes even slightly.

2. Safe sailing

Even more important: safety. The batteries have excellent chemical stability and can dissipate heat effectively. This makes LiFePO4 batteries safer than most lithium-ion batteries. They have a lower risk of overheating and thus serious consequences, such as fire or explosion.

3. High energy density

LiFePO4 batteries can store a lot of energy relative to their size and weight. Ideal if you need compact, lightweight energy storage.

4. Lightning-fast charging

Want to get sailing again as quickly as possible? LiFePO4 batteries charge faster than most lithium-ion batteries. They can handle high charging currents without compromising the battery's lifespan.

5. Environmentally friendly

LiFePO4 batteries don't contain any toxic metals like lead or cadmium. So environmentally friendly! The organic salts phosphate, iron, and lithium can even be reused as fertilizer. They're also easier to recycle than other types.

6. Low maintenance

When you store your LiFePO4 battery, you'll have virtually no worries. The battery has a self-discharge rate of only 3% per month. Every Powerlit LiFePO4 battery also features a BMS system that constantly monitors, regulates, and protects the battery. And you can always track the battery's performance via the Powerlit app.

7. Widely applicable

Electric vehicles, solar panels, portable electronics and emergency power supplies: they all perform optimally with a LiFePO4 battery.
