Why more and more people choose to use lithium batteries?

1. Higher Energy Ratio.
It has a high energy storage density of 460–600wh/kg, which is about 6–7 times that of lead-acid batteries.

2. Long service life,
The service life can reach more than 6 years. As a positive battery, lithium iron phosphate can be charged and discharged 1C (100% DOD) and can be used 10,000 times.

3.High rated voltage
The single working voltage is 3.7v3.2v, which is approximately equal to the series voltage of three nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries, which is conducive to the formation of a battery power pack;

4. The lithium iron phosphate battery used in electric vehicles has high power.
It can reach a charge and discharge capacity of 15–30c, which is convenient for high-intensity starting and acceleration;

5. Low self-discharge rate is one of the most outstanding advantages of lithium batteries.
Generally it can reach 1%/month, which is much lower than 25–30% of nickel-cadmium and 30–35% of nickel, MH.

6.Light weight,
It is about 1/5–1/6 of the weight of lead-acid battery products and the same volume.

7. High and low temperature applicability,
It can be used at -20C-60C and can be used at -45C after processing.

8. Green and environmentally friendly,
Regardless of production, use, or scrapping, it does not contain or contain any toxic and harmful heavy metal elements and substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium.

Production basically does not consume water, which is very beneficial to countries that are short of water.

Specific energy refers to energy per unit weight or volume.
Specific energy is expressed in Wh/kg or Wh/L. Wh is the unit of energy, W is watt, h is hour; kilogram is kilogram (unit of weight), L is liter (unit of volume).
