Epoch batteries are engineered with durability and reliability at their core, utilizing high-quality materials. But their benefits don't end there. Epoch is dedicated to innovation, constantly seeking new ways to enhance battery safety, intelligence, and efficiency.
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries, also known as LFP batteries, are dominating the battery industry. These batteries are composed of lithium iron phosphate, distinguishing them from other types like Lithium Cobalt Oxide or Lithium Manganese Oxide.
LiFePO4 was developed from extensive chemical research, leading to its recognition as the safest and most stable lithium battery available. First developed in 1996 by the University of Texas, these batteries have evolved into the most reliable option for a range of applications.
The development of LiFePO4 batteries began with John B. Goodenough and Arumugam Manthiram who discovered the materials used in these batteries. Their research led to the creation of batteries that offer increased stability and safety.
While not suitable for high-energy density applications like wearable devices, LiFePO4 batteries are perfect for larger scale applications due to their long life span and safety. They excel in environments like solar energy systems, RVs, and marine applications.
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries boast superior safety features due to their stable chemical composition, which prevents issues like thermal runaway and provides excellent high-temperature performance.
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries are not only reusable and cost-effective over time, but they also possess a low environmental impact. They are designed to last significantly longer than traditional batteries, offering around 5,000 charge cycles.
From maritime to industrial applications, Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries provide a dependable power source, enhancing performance while being compact and lightweight.
Epoch Batteries continues to innovate, pushing the boundaries of what's possible with LiFePO4 technology to meet the diverse needs of modern energy solutions.
Is LiFePO4 the same as lithium ion?
No, they're quite different. Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries have a life cycle that extends more than four times longer than that of typical lithium ion polymer batteries.
Are LiFePO4 batteries good?
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries excel in efficiency and durability compared to traditional battery technologies. They are significantly lighter and allow near-full usage of their capacity without damage—unlike lead acid batteries, which degrade after using just 50% of their capacity.
Can LiFePO4 catch fire?
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries are among the safest in the lithium battery category, as they do not catch fire or overheat, even when punctured. This makes them a safer choice over other lithium battery types that pose risks of overheating and fire.
Is LiFePO4 better than lithium ion?
Epoch's LiFePO4 batteries surpass lithium ion in both longevity, offering a lifespan 4-5 times longer, and safety, as they do not overheat or catch fire, unlike some lithium ion variants.
