Electric Bike Battery F.A.Q.
Battery Comparison
The charts below tell the short story.
Lifetime energy carried versus
cost, bigger is better. On top of the bars it shows
approximately how far the battery will carry you over its life,
irrespective of cost. The bars themselves show the cost-adjusted
lifetime energy capacity. The Li-Fe-PO4 is about 2X more economical
than the other batteries.
Power versus Weight, bigger means lighter weight/longer
range. Calculated as Watt hours per pound of weight
(approximate).
One thing that's not emphasized in the above information is the relative
safety of the various battery technologies. The Li-Fe-PO4 is a highly
safe battery chemistry, which won't explode or catch on fire if it is
short circuited or crushed in an accident, or overcharged. This makes
it of particularly suited for electric vehicle use, since EV's are exposed
to more situations than is a laptop battery.
Why We Choose LiFePO4 Battery?
LiFePO4 Power Battery: The new generation power solution for Electric
Vehicle-----a most advanced technology in the world ---the application
tendency for lithium iron phosphate as cathode or anode (LIFEPO4 technology).
Due to the shortage of fossil fuels and environmental concerns, we're convinced
that the green energy industry and related industries will become the main
stream in the coming 30-50 years. This causes a strong demand of LiFePO4
rechargeable batteries.
Lithium iron phosphate cell has the best safety characteristics, long
cycle life (up to 2000 cycles) and good availability. It is very suitable
for high discharge rate application, such as EV (including e-bike, electric
scooter, and electric car), power tools, UPS and solar energy system. |
