12V 7Ah LiFePO4 Battery - Long-Lasting, Safe, Lightweight Power Solution LiFePO4 Quick Answers Is LiFePO4 the same as lithium ion? Not at all! The LiFePO4 battery has a cycle life of over 4x that of lithium-ion polymer batteries. Are LiFePO4 batteries good? Well, for starters, LiFePO4 batteries are incredibly efficient compared to traditional batteries. Not only that, they’re super-light and you can use most of your battery’s capacity without any problems. (You can only use roughly 50% with lead-acid batteries. After that, the battery gets damaged.) So overall, yes, very much so – LiFePO4 batteries are great. Last 4X longer. Can LiFePO4 catch fire? LiFePO4 batteries are the safest of the lithium batteries, because they will not catch fire, and won’t even overheat. Even if you puncture the battery it will not catch fire. This is a massive upgrade over other lithium batteries, which can overheat and catch fire. Is LiFePO4 better than lithium-ion? The LiFePO4 battery has the edge over lithium-ion, both in terms of cycle life (it lasts 4-5x longer), and safety. This is a key advantage because lithium-ion batteries can overheat and even catch fire, while LiFePO4 does not. Why is LiFePO4 so expensive? LiFePO4 batteries are usually more expensive on the front end, but cheaper long term because they last so long. They cost more upfront because the materials used to build them are more expensive. But people still choose them over other batteries. Why? LiFePO4 has many advantages over other batteries. For example, they’re much lighter than lead acid and many other battery types. They’re also much safer, they last longer, and require no maintenance.
