Lithium iron phosphate car batteries (LiFePO4)

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4)

— lithium iron phosphate batteries are actually a modification of the lithium ion batteries (see related paragraph) designed to overcome some of the shortcomings of the original technology. First of all, they are notable for their high reliability and safety: the probability of an “explosion” of the battery during overload is reduced to almost zero, and in general, LiFePO4 can easily cope with high peak loads. In addition, they are quite resistant to cold and keep the operating voltage almost to the very discharge. The main disadvantage of this type is a somewhat smaller capacity.
