Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery Advantages

Lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4 or LFP) offer lots of benefits compared to lead-acid batteries and other lithium batteries. Longer life span, no maintenance, extremely safe, lightweight, improved discharge and charge efficiency, just to name a few. LiFePO4 batteries are not the cheapest in the market, but due to a long life span and zero maintenance, it’s the best investment you can make over time.

1. Lithium Has A Long Lifespan

ZWAYN lithium iron phosphate batteries live up to 5000 cycles at 80 percent depth of discharge, without decreasing in performance. The average lifetime of lead-acid batteries is just two years.

2. No Active Maintenance

ZWAYN lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) don’t require active maintenance to extend their service life. Also, the batteries show no memory effects and due to low self-discharge (<3% per month), you can store them for a longer period of time. Lead-acid batteries need special maintenance. If not their life span will be decreased even more.

3. Lightweight Champion

ZWAYN lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) offer high power density which causes lithium batteries to be relatively small and light. Compared to lead-acid batteries lithium provides great energy density and are at least half the mass. Go for lithium if you want to reduce concerns about battery weight and size!

4. High Efficiency

ZWAYN lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) have 100% of their capacity available. Additionally, their fast charge and discharge rates cause them to be a great fit for all sorts of applications. Fast charging reduces any downtime and increases efficiency. High discharge pulse currents deliver bursts of power in a short amount of time.

5. Safety

To achieve high safety with our batteries, we use only the highest quality cells of the safest technology available today: lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP). In combination with our Battery Management System (BMS) developed by our innovative engineering team, we can guarantee the safety and reliability of our batteries.

6. High Discharge Rates

ZWAYN lithium iron phosphate batteries are specially developed to handle high discharge currents. You can start easily heavy engines or use several electrical devices at the same time on your boat or RV.

7. Extreme Temperatures

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) can operate in a wide temperature range, which makes lithium batteries a good fit for various applications, including ones that undergo extreme temperatures. Lithium is the best option for applications that will exhaust the batteries or run in extreme weather conditions.
