Hi ! Are you curious to know what makes Lithium-Ion & LifeP04 batteries different from each other apart from their names? Here is the required information. But, first let me introduce you with both of the batteries to make you a little bit more familiar to them.

1. Intro. to LifePO4 Battery:

LifePO4 battery is Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery or LFP (Lithium Ferrophosphate). It is a type of Lithium Ion Battery using LiFePO4 as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. 

Above image shows Standard 32650 3.2V Rechargeable 6000mAh LifePO4 Battery Cell. It is a powerful battery cell with massive 6000 mAh capacity. This is a source of power for various portable devices including flashlights, hobby transmitters, and receivers etc. To know more about such lifePO4 batteries, you can visit this link. Because of low cost, low toxicity, well-defined performance, long-term stability, etc. LiFePO4 has a number of applications in vehicle use, utility scale stationary applications, and backup power.

2. Intro. to Li-ion Battery:

A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery (abbreviated as LIB) is a type of rechargeable battery. It is a lightweight, high-power battery used in computers and mobile phone. Li-ion batteries come in several shapes, although a flat rectangle is most common. To know more about li-ion battery, you can refer my blog: Introduction to Lithium Ion Battery.

Now, you’re familiar with those 2 types of batteries. So, let’s understand their differences.

3. LifePO4 Battery vs Li-ion Battery:

Well, that's it! I'm sure that you got the difference very well.

Hope, this article is helpful to you.
