What are the advantages and disadvantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries
Lithium iron phosphate battery refers to a lithium ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate as a positive electrode material. The cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries mainly include lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium nickelate, ternary materials, lithium iron phosphate and so on. Among them, lithium cobalt oxide is currently the cathode material used in most lithium-ion batteries.

Disadvantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries
1. The tap density of the positive electrode of lithium iron phosphate battery is small
2. Poor conductivity, slow diffusion of lithium ions, and low actual specific capacity during high charge and discharge.
3. The low-temperature performance of lithium iron phosphate batteries is poor.
4. The life of a single battery of lithium iron phosphate battery is long, about 2500 times, but the life of lithium iron phosphate battery pack is short, generally about 500 times

Advantages of lithium iron phosphate battery
1. The lithium iron phosphate battery has a long life, with a cycle life of more than 25,000 times. Under the same conditions, lithium iron phosphate batteries can be used for 7 to 8 years.
2, safe to use. Lithium iron phosphate batteries have undergone strict safety tests and will not explode even in traffic accidents.
3. Fast charging. Using a dedicated charger, the battery can be fully charged after 40 minutes of charging at 1.5C.
4. The lithium iron phosphate battery is resistant to high temperatures, and the hot air value of the lithium iron phosphate battery can reach 350 to 500 degrees Celsius.
5. The capacity of lithium iron phosphate battery is large.
6. Lithium iron phosphate battery has no memory effect.
7. Lithium iron phosphate battery is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-polluting, has a wide range of raw materials, and is cheap.

Application fields of lithium iron phosphate batteries
1. Large-scale electric vehicles: buses, electric vehicles, tourist attractions and hybrid vehicles, etc.;
2. Light electric vehicles: AGV industrial robots, warehouse PSB picking trolleys, electric bicycles, golf carts, small flat battery carts, forklifts, cleaning vehicles, electric wheelchairs, etc.;
3. Power tools: electric drills, electric saws, lawn mowers, etc.;
4. Remote control cars, boats, airplanes and other toys;
5. Energy storage equipment for solar and wind power generation;
6. UPS and emergency lights, warning lights and miner's lamps (the best safety);
7. Replace the 3V disposable lithium battery and the 9V nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery in the camera (the same size);
8. Small medical equipment and portable equipment, etc.
