LFP Batteries Equivalent Full Cycle
LFP battery chemistry has been around a long time – even longer than NMC. NMC was created more for a means of high performance EVs and devices, such as large trucks (think Tesla Semi). NMC batteries do weight less and have a higher energy density per kilogram. So why are LFP batteries better?
Both these batteries can do full charge cycles between 3,000 and 5,000 times. There is one important distinction though and that is battery degradation. This is where the LFP battery really shines.
There was a paper from the Journal of the Electrochemical Society that showed that LFP batteries have a longer lifespan than NMC batteries. Will this be true even with the 4680 batteries? This assumes there will be 4680 LFP and 4680 NMC batteries eventually, but I digress.
The paper shows that tests published in September of 2020 showed the repeated charge and…
LFP Batteries are Superior to NMC Batteries
