Lithium iron (LiFePO4) batteries are designed to provide a higher power density than Li-ion batteries, making them better suited for high-drain applications such as electric vehicles.

In addition, the large size, heavy weight, and poor conductivity of lithium iron phosphate batteries are also disadvantages that cannot be ignored. At the same time, the life of lithium iron phosphate battery packs is relatively short, generally around 500 times, which also limits its application in certain fields.

The most common causes for premature failure of LiFePO4 cells are overcharging and over-discharging. Even a single occurrence can cause permanent damage to the cell, and such misuse voids the warranty.
