Manufacturers list battery capacity as either gross (total) or net (usable). Why the difference? To maintain lithium-ion batteries in good condition, they should not be allowed to be completely empty (0% charge) or full (100% charge). The gross capacity is not a particularly insightful spec, so it’s best to measure usable.

A report by BloombergNEF suggests that over half of EVs delivered in 2027 will have LFP chemistry – including the newer LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate). LMFP has a higher energy density but a slightly lower cycle life than LFP. While currently more expensive, it has better thermal stability than nickel-based chemistries.
Offgrid Tech has been selling Lithium batteries since 2016. LFP (Lithium Ferrophosphate or Lithium Iron Phosphate) is currently our favorite battery for several reasons. They are many times lighter than lead acid batteries and last much longer with an expected life of over 3000 cycles (8+ years). Initial cost has dropped to the point that most
Lithium iron phosphate batteries (most commonly known as LFP batteries) are a type of rechargeable lithium-ion battery made with a graphite anode and lithium-iron-phosphate as the cathode material.The first LFP battery was invented by John B. Goodenough and Akshaya Padhi at the University of Texas in 1996. Since then, the favorable properties of these
With a consistent discharge voltage and lower internal resistance, LFP-powered vehicles can deliver power faster and achieve a higher charge/discharge efficiency. LFP is thermally and chemically stable, making it less prone to explosions or fires due to misuse or structural damage.
Rivian, the electric vehicle (EV) startup, has announced its plan to switch its entire lineup to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. The company has already optimized its manufacturing processes and introduced LFP

Among the top 10 new energy models sold in the Chinese market in 2020, six models have launched a new version of lithium iron phosphate. Not only that, the ternary lithium battery, which has always been the leader in production and installed capacity, was also quickly caught up by lithium iron phosphate batteries in the first half of this year
Lithium iron phosphate batteries may be the new normal for electric cars, which could lower EV prices and ease consumer fears about the cost of replacing a battery.
Tesla''s recent announcement that it will build a "light" shorter-range version of its upcoming Semi heavy-duty truck using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries instead of lithium batteries with nickel and cobalt cathodes is
Tesla''s recent announcement that it will build a "light" shorter-range version of its upcoming Semi heavy-duty truck using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries instead of lithium batteries with nickel and cobalt cathodes is significant. LFPs are lithium-ion batteries using iron phosphate as the cathode material. They are known for their
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries already power the majority of electric vehicles in the Chinese market, but they are just starting to make inroads in North America.
Lithium-ion batteries show superior performances of high energy density and long cyclability, 1 and widely used in various applications from portable electronics to large-scale applications such as e-mobility (electric vehicles [EVs], hybrid electric vehicles [HEVs], plug-in hybrid electric vehicles [PHEVs]), and power storage applications.

Lithium-ion batteries power various devices, from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles (EVs) and battery energy storage systems. One key component of lithium-ion batteries is the cathode material. Because high-energy density is needed, cathodes made from oxides of nickel, cobalt, and either manganese or aluminum have been popular, particularly for
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries already power the majority of electric vehicles in the Chinese market, but they are just starting to make inroads in North America.
The lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO 4 battery) or LFP battery (lithium ferrophosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode cause of their low cost, high safety, low toxicity, long cycle life and other factors, LFP batteries are finding a number of roles
With a consistent discharge voltage and lower internal resistance, LFP-powered vehicles can deliver power faster and achieve a higher charge/discharge efficiency. LFP is thermally and chemically stable, making it
In particular, progress with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries is impressive. LFP batteries work in the same way as lithium-ion batteries: they too have an anode and a cathode, a separator and an electrolyte, and they use the passage of lithium ions between the two electrodes during charge and discharge cycles.
Despite some disadvantages, lithium iron phosphate batteries are becoming a growing part of the EV market. Tesla’s recent announcement that it will build a “light” shorter-range version of its upcoming Semi heavy-duty truck using lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries instead of lithium batteries with nickel and cobalt cathodes is significant.
