Li-ion vs. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries
Nowadays, the world of batteries is being powered by LiFePO4 batteries. But what does "LiFePO4" actually mean? What differentiates these batteries from other kinds? Are
Let's explore the many reasons that lithium iron phosphate batteries are the future of solar energy storage. Battery Life. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have a lifecycle two to four times longer than lithium-ion. This is in part because the lithium iron phosphate option is more stable at high temperatures, so they are resilient to over charging.
Solar lithium-iron phosphate batteries – also called solar LiFePO4 batteries – are the best lithium batteries for solar systems. Their chemistry makes them the most cost-effective option for homes and businesses. They're safer and less toxic than alternative solar battery types. A lithium-iron solar battery can easily be scaled.
When needed, they can also discharge at a higher rate than lithium-ion batteries. This means that when the power goes down in a grid-tied solar setup and multiple appliances come online all at once, lithium iron phosphate backup batteries will handle the load without complications.
Safe & reliable lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry. Combining a 3.6kWh LiFePO4 battery with solar charging, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro delivers fast recharging (0–80% in 1 hour) and expandable capacity up to 25kWh. Perfect for home backup and outdoor adventures, it supports 3,500+ cycles with minimal degradation.
