Lithium Iron Phosphate WILL Replace Lithium Ion As The Battery Chemistry Of Choice (Tesla Agrees)

In this video, we will explore why Lithium Iron Phosphate, or LFP for short, will dethrone Lithium Ion as the most common battery in electric vehicles, mobile devices, stationary energy storage for solar and wind power, cordless power tools, laptops, boats, and recreational vehicles. #lifepo4 #lithiumpower #lithiumisthefuture

My electric bike runs on LiFePO4 battery cells, specifically for the longevity and safety aspects. I definitely agree on their importance its a shame they are so undersold and forgotten by so many technology venues.

You create great videos. I can't understand why more people don't subscribe. Thank you clear and to the point

I looked this up because I got into solar very recently with the advent of LFP batteries into all in one "solar generator" power stations. I started small with just 2 panels and based on favorable panel performance in shade and overcast conditions, expanded all the way to 2.4 KW of solar and about 12 KW spread across four 2000W power stations and 5 standalone LFP batteries.
I''m glad I waited for LFPs before taking the plunge. I'm still astonished the news keeps talking about cobalt and nickel, the price, issues around the origin countries, etc stalling the EV and solar movement. It's surprising to me that my batteries, that I just ordered off the internet on a whim have none of those supply or sourcing issues. I'm not even a hardline environmentalist. I'm just a bloke who likes batteries and I've been very impressed so far

I have a Golabs R300 which is LiFePo4. In comparison to the Jackery 300 which is identical in capacity, but the Golabs is about 2 or 3 pounds more in weight. However with micro portable power stations 2 pounds isn't really going to make much difference in lugging it around and the Cells are rated at 2000 cycles before 80% compared to the Jackery's 500 cycles. For 2 or 3 pounds of extra weight I'll take the LFP cells.

I didn't understand any of this. But was yours fairly simplified explanation I Now understand some of this and probably more wellcome. Great video keep it up. Thanks

LifePo4 battery has great opportunity to replace lead acid battery used for inverter.

[AuRowe]

If they just eased regulations for PO4 Vs Li-Ion than it would change the market overnight

[jpgriffiths]

Great video - factually accurate without excessive technical talk.

[tylerbennetts]

Thank you for a logical, clear and concise video, I was advised to use Lipo battery but the reason why wasn't clear. It is now. Thanks again.

Lithium - ion is the process. The ion is the electric current. Changing the chemistry of the cell doesn't make it not lithium ion.

[SebasTian-odoz]

You may be right with all your points but concerning consumer electronics and many other areas: you did not mention the major vantage LiIon has over LFP:
Market share and force of habit.
LiIon is the only technology used in consumer electronics nowadays. Manufacturers and all circuits are attuned for LiIon and it's slightly higher voltage. They will continue to use that technology only until something comes along that has *overwhelming* advantages, like LiIon had compared to NiMH.
Imo LFPs advantages are too small and few to make a considerable dent in the market share of LiIon - in most areas.
It is true that for grid storage / large applications LFP will overtake LiIon.

I can't find an e-bile with a LiFePO4. I only found a local person who converts bikes to e-bikes who only uses LiFePO4.

[breakhart]

will LFP replace other Li batteries? yes at certain level. LFP is much cheaper than other model but there's fact that LFP energy density are lower and degrade faster than other too. so yeah, for short range EV or places where you can easily charge your devices fast LFP would be best, but long range EV still gonna used Nickel batteries whether it is NMC or any newer chemical like NCA

[teac]

The safety factor makes me wonder if it can be a 1-1 replacement for lead acid. Looking at a power bank for outdoor hydroponics.

[safeguardprime]

I wonder if I can put it in my regular car

[roybrown]

Not happy about the shift from lithium ion to lfp, because I'm sure that the lfp battery has less energy density.

[jmr]

Good overview. I see you put the new logo on shirts. I hope all is going well!

[angelisone]

What charger (can buy) do I needs if four LIFEP04 32650 connected in series?

[investingthelike]

lithium iron phosphate is lithium ion is it not ? you mean like nmc, nca etc etc

[deepalikharate]

What is duty cycle of 36v, 10ah LFP battery?
