Here is some key information about LFP energy storage battery life:

1. Cycle life

•Standard cycle times: The typical cycle life of LFP batteries is usually more than 2,000 times, and some high-quality LFP batteries can reach 5,000 times or more. This means that under normal use conditions, the battery can be charged and discharged thousands of times while still maintaining a high capacity.

•Deep discharge: LFP batteries have good tolerance to deep discharge. Even if they are frequently deeply discharged (for example, discharged to 20% SOC), their lifespan will not be significantly affected.

2. Capacity retention rate

•Capacity after long-term use: After multiple charge and discharge cycles, the capacity of LFP batteries will gradually decrease, but the decrease rate is relatively slow. Under normal circumstances, LFP batteries can still maintain more than 80% of their initial capacity after 2,000 charge and discharge cycles.

•Storage conditions: Under appropriate storage conditions (such as room temperature, half-full state), LFP batteries have a low self-discharge rate and can be stored for a long time without significant loss of capacity.

3. Factors affecting lifespan

•Temperature: High temperature will accelerate the chemical reaction inside the battery, causing the battery to age faster. The ideal operating temperature range is 20°C to 35°C. Too low temperatures will also reduce battery performance, but will not affect lifespan as severely as high temperatures.

•Charging and discharging rate: High-speed charging and discharging will increase the heat generation inside the battery, which may lead to shortened battery life. It is recommended to use the recommended charge and discharge rates.

•Depth of charging and discharging: Shallow charging and discharging (i.e. incomplete charging and discharging) can extend battery life. It is recommended to avoid frequent deep discharges.

•Maintenance: Regularly check the battery status to ensure that the battery management system (BMS) is working properly, and find and solve problems in a timely manner.

4. Compare other battery types

•Compared with lead-acid batteries: The cycle life of LFP batteries is much higher than that of lead-acid batteries, which usually only have a cycle life of about 500 times.

•Compared with ternary lithium batteries: LFP batteries are generally better than ternary lithium batteries (NMC or NCM) in terms of cycle life, which is usually between 1000 and 2000 cycles.

5. Application cases

•Home energy storage: LFP batteries perform well in home energy storage systems, providing years of stable and reliable power storage.

•Commercial energy storage: In the field of commercial energy storage, the long life and high safety of LFP batteries make it an ideal choice.

•Electric vehicles: LFP batteries are also widely used in electric vehicles, especially in scenarios that require high safety and long life.
