Batteries with lithium as an anode are called lithium batteries. Lithium batteries can be divided into three types depending on the technology used. These are lithium ion batteries, lithium phosphate batteries and lithium polymer batteries. Lithium iron batteries, also known as lithium iron phosphate batteries, are the most advanced type of lithium battery. Like any other battery, a lithium iron battery (LiFePo4) consists of components such as a cathode, anode, electrolyte, diaphragm and collector. In lithium iron batteries, lithium iron phosphate is the cathode material and graphite-carbon electrodes with a metal support are the anode.

Why are lithium iron phosphate batteries used in inverters?

Es It is well known that batteries play a crucial role in determining the performance and lifetime of residential inverters. Compared to other battery technologies such as nickel, silver and lead-lithium batteries, they have become established worldwide. Lithium has a very high electrochemical potential and can be charged repeatedly. Therefore, lithium batteries are the cheapest to maintain and have a longer lifespan.

In addition to the advantages that lithium batteries have in common, lithium iron (LiFePo4) or lithium iron phosphate batteries have higher thermal and chemical stability, so that they also offer greater security. You improve the overall efficiency of your inverter because LiFePo4 batteries are more reliable and stable and require no maintenance.

Lithium iron phosphate batteries are more efficient in charging and discharging and have a higher capacity than conventional batteries. They have a constant power output.

• They are lighter than other batteries. Therefore, they can have a significant impact on the design and overall weight of your backup power system.
• They are environmentally friendly and non-toxic.
• LiFePo4 lasts up to 10 times longer than traditional lead-acid batteries and is virtually maintenance-free. So it can increase the efficiency of your household inverter.
• The battery capacity is doubled and it can handle temperature fluctuations better.
• LiFePo4 batteries have no memory and do not need to be regularly recycled.
• They have higher energy density and better security.
• LiFePo4 batteries take less time to charge.
• They are generally non-flammable if mishandled. They have better short circuit and overcharge stability. Therefore, they are among the safest batteries on the market today.
• Like other lithium batteries, LiFePo4 does not require a start-up process.
