1. Difference in safety

Safety is our top priority in choosing batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries are famous for their safety and stability performance, people from all walks of life are using lithium iron phosphate batteries to meet the high security requirements of the application. Mainly because lithium iron phosphate batteries have excellent high temperature resistance, in the process of rapid charging and discharging, the battery will not appear short circuit and combustion phenomenon, only in the case of suffering from external forces piercing may occur combustion, there will be no explosion phenomenon. Lithium-ion battery chemistry is not as stable as lithium iron phosphate battery, it will become unstable in high temperature environment, and thermal runaway phenomenon will occur if the temperature is too high in the charging process.

2. The difference in battery recycling

Lithium iron phosphate battery is a green battery, the battery can be safely disposed of after use. Lithium-ion batteries due to lithium-ion batteries made of lithium cobalt dioxide chemicals as a hazardous material, in contact with the eyes and skin can cause allergic reactions, the need for lithium-ion batteries to carry out special treatment, lithium iron phosphate batteries for non-toxic, harmless batteries, without special treatment.

3. Difference in the use of the battery

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are suitable for applications that require safety performance and long service life, such as fishing boats and kayaks, solar energy systems, home backup power supply, automotive and other equipment, do not require extremely high energy density, and can be well used. Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density and are suitable for high-performance devices, such as laptops and cell phones, which can give the best performance of these equipments.

4. Differences in weight and size

The weight and size of lithium iron phosphate batteries are higher than lithium-ion batteries, but the battery focuses on different, for high security and long service life, lithium iron phosphate batteries are slightly larger in weight and size, there is no great impact.

5. Differences in chemical properties

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are batteries that use lithium iron phosphate as the positive material and carbon as the negative material. The positive active material of lithium-ion battery is generally lithium manganate or lithium cobaltate as the positive material, and the negative material is graphite.

6. Difference in charging rate (C)

Charge rate is the battery unit used to measure the speed of filling or discharging a battery. For example, a C rate of 1C means that it takes one hour to fully charge a battery from 0% to 100%, and 2C means that the battery is fully charged from 0% to 100% in 30 minutes. Lithium-ion batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.6V, a charging rate of 0.7C to 1.0C, and a discharge rate of 1C., while lithium iron phosphate batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.2V, a charging rate of 1.0C, and a discharge rate of between 1C and 25C.

7. Difference in energy density

The energy density of the battery is a given volume or weight can store how much energy, lithium-ion battery energy density is higher than the energy density of lithium iron phosphate batteries, lithium-ion batteries in general, the energy density of about 200 watt-hours per kilogram, lithium iron phosphate batteries, the energy density of about 100 watt-hours per kilogram.

8. Difference in lifespan cycle

The service lifespan of lithium-ion batteries is about 3 years, the number of cycles is 500 to 1000 times. The service lifespan of lithium iron phosphate batteries is about 8 years, the maximum number of cycles up to 10,000 times, so lithium iron phosphate batteries than lithium-ion batteries have a longer service life, but the life of the battery does not only depend on the type of battery and battery chemistry, but also by the use of the mode, the ambient temperature, the charging and discharging of factors such as the impact of the battery, only in daily life pay attention to the maintenance of the battery, in order to make the battery’s Only by taking care of the battery in daily life can the battery have a longer life cycle.

9. Difference in battery storage

Lithium iron phosphate batteries and lithium-ion batteries have good long-term storage advantages, but the storage time of lithium iron phosphate batteries than lithium-ion batteries longer than the storage time of lithium-ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries have a shelf life of 350 days, lithium-ion batteries have a shelf life of 300 days.

10. Difference in working temperature

The working temperature of lithium iron phosphate batteries is wider than that of lithium-ion batteries, the working temperature of lithium iron phosphate batteries is usually between -20℃ and 60℃, while lithium-ion batteries work between 0℃ and 45℃, which means that lithium iron phosphate batteries can run well in colder and hotter environments, and will not soon reduce the capacity of the battery and reduce the service life of the battery, lithium-ion batteries in cold or Lithium-ion batteries in cold or hot environments need to be stored in the control room to work, so lithium iron phosphate batteries are more flexible and can be applied to a variety of places.

11. Difference in the use of cost

The cost of lithium iron phosphate batteries is higher than lithium-ion batteries, but the cost of raw materials for lithium iron phosphate batteries is lower than lithium polymer batteries, mainly because lithium iron phosphate batteries are a new type of batteries, the price is higher than lithium-ion batteries, on the other hand, lithium iron phosphate batteries do not contain any precious metals, the manufacturing process is relatively simple, so the price is lower than lithium polymer batteries.

12. Difference in environmental protection

Lithium iron phosphate batteries do not contain any rare metals and heavy metals, there is no pollution of the environment, is a new type of green battery, lithium-ion batteries and other harmful substances such as lithium hexafluorophosphate, which will cause pollution to the environment, affecting people’s normal life.

13. Difference in voltage

Lithium iron phosphate batteries due to the unique chemical properties, the battery voltage is lower than lithium-ion batteries, due to the lower voltage, so the service life of lithium iron phosphate batteries is much higher than lithium-ion batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries are more stable energy release. Lithium-ion batteries have a higher voltage, but due to the fast energy release, the service life of the battery is limited.

Conclusion

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are more widely used in daily household use, we recommend the use of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which can be used as a backup power source for the family, solar energy system storage batteries, etc. In addition, we recommend the use of JMHPOWER brand of batteries and solar energy systems, you can contact us if you have any questions.
