The average lifespan of the lifePO4 battery
Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, renowned for their long-term reliability and robust performance, stand out in the energy storage industry, particularly for home energy solutions than traditional lead acid batteries, such as AGM batteries, GEL batteries, and flooded lead acid batteries. On average, HBOWA’s LiFePO4 batteries used under optimal conditions (80% depth of discharge and 25°C ambient temperature) can exceed 6000 charge-discharge cycle times. This impressive lifespan means you can use them for over 10 years of consistent, efficient service. LiFePO4 batteries has become a superior choice for sustainable energy storage.
Energy Storage Batteries | Life Cycles |
LifePO4 Battery | More than 6000 cycle times |
Gel Battery | About 750 cycle times |
AGM Battery | About 500-1200 cycle times |
Flooded Lead Acid Battery | About 500 cycle times |
Factors that influence the lifespan of the lifePO4 battery
- Discharge and Charge Rate: Using an appropriate charge and discharge rate is crucial for LiFePO4 batteries. A high discharge rate can generate excessive heat, reducing its lifespan.
- Battery Management System (BMS): A reliable BMS protection board is essential for monitoring and managing the status of lifePO4 batteries. It helps in avoiding overcharging and undercharging, which can significantly prolong battery lifespan. All of our HBOWA lifePO4 batteries have BMS board, from lead acid replacement batteries, wall mounted batteries, server rack batteries, floor mounted batteries, and all in one lifePO4 batteries, you can easily view the status data through the APP on your phone supported by us with wifi and Bluetooth function.
- Depth of Discharge(DOD): Properly managing the charged and discharged cycles is important. It is advisable to keep the depth of discharge below 80% in your daily use to avoid reducing its lifespan.If you over discharge the lifePO4 battery, it will truly damage the battery cell, thus influencing the battery’s health.
- Temperature Range: Operating the lithium iron phosphate battery within the optimal temperature range, specifically 0-55°C, ensures efficient performance and longevity. If the temperature is too high or too low, it can negatively impact the lifePO4 battery’s health and reduce the lifespan of the battery.
- Build Quality: High build quality of the battery cells can enhance durability and performance, preventing premature degradation and extending the battery’s usable life.HBOWA chooses PERC and GOTION grade A cells and first-class automated production to ensure you high-performance lifePO4 batteries.
Maximizing the Lifespan of LiFePO4 Batteries in Daily Use
One of the common factors that reduce the lifespan of the lifePO4 battery is the wrong store method. If you properly store the batteries in good condition, it will help prolong their battery life.
To maximize the lifespan of a lithium iron phosphate battery, please take the tips below:
- Proper Charging Practices
Avoid overcharging;
Use appropriate chargers;
Maintain moderate charge cycles.
- Optimal Operating Conditions
Keep within recommended working temperature ranges:0-55°C;
Avoid extreme environmental conditions;
Ensure proper ventilation.
- Storage Guidelines
Keep in a cool and dry place, with a recommended storage temperature of -20 to 55°C, and humidity less than 80%.
- Usage Tips
Avoid deep discharges(less than 80% suggested);
Use quality connectors and cables;
Avoid high-drain applications if possible.
- Regular Maintenance
Periodic check-ups;
Clean terminals;
Monitor battery health and performance through the APP on your phone.
How Many Hours Will A HBOWA LifePO4 Battery Last?
It depends on the lifepo4 battery capacity and your home load power. For example, a 24 volt 100 amp hour lithium battery, the battery capacity = 24V * 100Ah = 2400 Wh = 2.4Kwh.
If your consumption power load is 1000w, as we suggest, and the DOD of the battery is 80%, then,
The time last = 2.4KWh * 80% / 1000w = 1.92 hours
Conclusion
LifePO4 batteries are truly a good choice for solar applications, due to their high energy density and safe performance. Though they are more expensive than lead acid batteries, they are worth the money to give you green and stable energy. To get a long lifespan of the lifePO4 batteries, you need to use, maintain, and store them properly, you can follow the suggestions we list above.
