LFP Safety A common misconception about battery safety is that lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) batteries cannot catch fire. It is true that LFP offers a somewhat better safety profile than NMC-based batteries; the iron-phosphate cathode material contains oxygen, but that oxygen is trapped in a more chemically stable bond.
Unique Features of LFP Technology Safety. LFP batteries are known for their superior safety profile. Unlike other lithium battery technologies, LFP batteries are more stable and less prone to overheating. This inherent stability reduces the risk of thermal runaway, making them a safer choice for a wide range of applications. Cost-Effectiveness
LFP (Lithium Ferrophosphate or Lithium Iron Phosphate) is currently our favorite battery for several reasons. They are many times lighter than lead acid batteries and last much longer with an expected life of over 3000 cycles (8+ years). Initial cost has dropped to the point that most of our LFP battery banks break even with lead acid cost
Lithium-ion can refer to a wide array of chemistries, however, it ultimately consists of a battery based on charge and discharge reactions from a lithiated metal oxide cathode and a graphite anode.
