What LiFePO4 means
LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate, also written LFP) is one type of lithium-ion cell. Listings that say only "lithium-ion", or name another lithium chemistry, we file as Li-ion. The chemistry is the maker's statement on the listing; when a listing doesn't name it, we leave it blank rather than guess, so a model in the "not stated" column may well use LiFePO4.
LiFePO4 by size class
| Size class | Models | LiFePO4 | Other Li-ion | Not stated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smallunder 500 Wh | 72 | 41 | 6 | 25 | 57% |
| Mid-size500–1,499 Wh | 61 | 54 | 0 | 7 | 89% |
| Large1,500–2,999 Wh | 45 | 43 | 0 | 2 | 96% |
| Home backup3,000 Wh and up | 40 | 39 | 0 | 1 | 98% |
The listings that don't name LiFePO4 are concentrated in the small class: from the mid-size class up, almost every model in our catalog lists it.
Rated charge cycles
A cycle rating is the number of full charges the maker says the battery takes before its capacity drops to a stated level, often 80%, in some listings 70%; many don't say which. 21 of our 177 LiFePO4 listings state one, and no listing with other or unstated cells does:
- 3,000 cycles: 5 models, about 8 years at one full cycle a day.
- 3,500 cycles: 4 models, about 10 years at one full cycle a day.
- 4,000 cycles: 6 models, about 11 years at one full cycle a day.
- 6,000 cycles: 6 models, about 16 years at one full cycle a day.
These are the makers' ratings, not tests. The warranty is the commitment the maker stands behind; read it on the maker's site.
