Battery guide: frequently asked questions
How long does a LiFePO4 battery last?
With proper use LiFePO4 cells can deliver thousands of cycles and in many applications a calendar life beyond 10 years. Actual life depends on depth of discharge, temperature and charging habits.
Is a lithium battery safe?
LiFePO4 chemistry is considered one of the safest lithium types thanks to its high thermal stability. Safety also depends on quality cells, a proper BMS and correct charging.
How should I choose a battery?
First determine the voltage and the energy (Wh) you need, then consider current demand, operating environment and charging source. If unsure, you can consult our engineering team.
