What are Lifepo4 Batteries, and Why choose them?

If you want to get the most out of your motorcycle, ATV, UTV, or personal watercraft, consider purchasing a lithium iron phosphate battery. LiFePO4 batteries not only outperform submerged lead-acid and AGM batteries in terms of performance, but they are also the safest type of lithium battery available in the Power industry today. They can use as well on your RV trip or camping site.

What is a lifepo4 battery? 

Lithium iron phosphate is an electrode material for lithium-ion batteries. It belongs to a kind of lithium battery but has higher safety and stability than a lithium battery and performs better. High charging efficiency and low weight make the battery an attractive option, plus it's non-toxic and non-polluting, with a low environmental impact, making it a worthwhile investment and a smart long-term solution. LiFePO4 batteries are currently the safest type of lithium battery on the market. Lithium batteries are typically made with a battery management system that can help the battery charge and discharge efficiently and safely.

 

Are Lithium Batteries Better Than Lead-Acid?

Due to their superior chemistry, LiFePO4 batteries outperform lead-acid batteries in nearly every category. Here are some of the key advantages they have:

• Longer lifespans - Can last up to 4,000 cycles, roughly four times longer than most batteries. A longer lifespan can use a longer time.

• Faster charging - Charges up to 2X faster than lead-acid batteries. The special large surface area makes you can charge faster and only takes half of the time.

• Low self-discharge rate - Holds a charge for much longer in storage than flooded or AGM batteries.

• More safety—The PO bond in the lithium iron phosphate crystal is stable, not easy to decompose, and will not collapse or generate heat like lithium cobalt oxide. Your battery won't be like a time bomb, it is different from batteries based on previous lithium-ion technology known for catching fire.

• Lightweight - 55% lighter than lead-acid batteries, it will be a smarter choice when going out.

• Non-gassing - LiFePO4 RV batteries don't gas like lead-acid batteries. Lithium batteries are usually designed with a seal. The gas they produce will not release into nature. Your RV trip is totally gas-free.

• Environmental-friendly—Lifepo4 battery has the advantages of being non-toxic, non-polluting, good safety performance, a wide range of raw materials, low price, and long life. It is an ideal cathode material for a new generation of lithium-ion batteries.

In most cases, lithium-ion battery technology is superior to lead-acid due to its reliability and efficiency, among other attributes. It's high-quality, longer lifespan, and is easy to carry and install. It will be more suitable for mobile scenes, for example, RV, and camping.

Benefits of lifepo4 battery

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) batteries have numerous advantages over lead-acid and other lithium batteries. Longer service life, no maintenance, ultra-safety, lightweight, and improved discharge and charging efficiency are just some of the benefits. LiFePO4 batteries aren't the cheapest on the market, but due to their long life and lack of maintenance, they're the best long-term investment you can make. And that's why BougeRV decided to provide Lithium battery as the first type of battery we produced. It can fit the outdoor life perfectly. Both in your RV and camping vehicles. And the portable power station we already have can also be your alternative when going outside.

 

What about lifepo4 batteries from BougeRV

Low-Temperature Protection Function: The lithium battery has a low-temperature charging and discharging protection function. The battery can be charged in a cold environment (below 0°C) without compromising battery life. We know what you worry about; BougeRV has a unique self-heating design for dealing with extreme weather. If you are in a colder place or during a snowstorm in winter, you can continue to use this battery. Because of our unique self-heating design, your battery will not fail silly when it is below zero. 

Portable and powerful: Our 12V LiFePO4 batteries are half the weight of lead-acid batteries while fully discharged so that you won't miss a second of runtime. Plus, the battery cells ensure a lifespan of more than 4000 cycles. That means you do not need to regularly replace it with a new one. The lifespan of lead-acid batteries is only 200-500 cycles. If you are an outdoor enthusiast, it means that you may be having fun outside, but your battery is dead. In order to prevent this happens, we use LiFePO4 as our material.

Easy to install: We design the battery with 4 locking screw holes and 2 threading holes. It can be installed everywhere you want on your RVs or vehicles. Easy for customers to install and store batteries. Like water must spill in a shaking car, the battery will run everywhere if it hasn't been tightening. For you can have a wonderful outdoor experience, BougeRV designed the holes to hold up your battery safely. 

Design your solar system: It can support up to 100A charge and discharge, which means you can DIY your lifepo4 battery system to support up to 24V, 36V, and 48V LifePO4 battery pack in series, and 400Ah battery pack in parallel. That means you can have a faster-charging speed, and you can build a system to meet your own electricity needs.

Reliable BMS System: The cutting-edge battery management system (BMS) with high-performance dual-processors protects against short circuits, overcharging, and overheating while maintaining a balanced voltage across all cells.

Conclusion

As you can see, 12V LiFePO4 batteries have several advantages that make them the perfect choice for your RV. Whether you want to go camping or just take advantage of a wider range of camping sites, rather than always needing a full connection and still being comfortable, these batteries will suit your needs. We strongly recommend you the BougeRV 12V 100ah LiFePO4 batteries as your first choice.

FAQ

Are lifepo4 batteries safe?

LiFePO4 batteries are the safest type of lithium because they will not overheat and will not catch fire if punctured. The cathode material in LiFePO4 batteries is not hazardous, so there are no negative health or environmental consequences. It's time to upgrade your RV game, we strongly recommend the BougeRV 100Ah 12V LiFePO4 battery.

Do LiFePO4 batteries explode?

Generally speaking, lithium iron phosphate batteries will not explode or ignite. LiFePO4 batteries are safer in regular use but are not absolute and can be dangerous in some extreme cases. It is related to the company's decision on material selection, ratio, process, and later use.

Does LiFePO4 battery emit gas?

The answer is No. The LiFePO4 technology does not release any poisonous or hazardous gases when charging or discharging. This sets this battery technology apart from others (for example, lead-acid). Lithium batteries have no pores or apertures that might allow any gas or liquid to escape.
