Li Ion vs LiFePO4

Featured Replies

Good day guys!

In 2024, what is the best buy (value for money) Li Ion or LiFePO4?

Personally I would go for LiFePO4 - this is based on smaller projects (not solar) that I'm involved with - this is purely based on preference not technical comparison.

What are the views of forum members?

I know different manufacturers use different quality cell to make up the battery, and there are possible duds around.

So, purely Li Ion vs LiFePO4 - who comes up trumps in 2024 and onwards.

 

Cheers

PS - LiFeTIDE 5120Wh LiFePO4 51.2V 100Ah Battery - does anybody have experience with this battery? (this is currently on my shopping list)

 

The term LiION is actually used for a lot of chemistries and strictly speaking all Li batteries fall in that definition.
LiFePO4 is a specific chemistry, as is LiNMC, which are the two most commonly used chemistries in the Auto and Home applications.
Here is a discussion paper on the LiION technology
