No cobalt, no nickel, no off-gassing, no acid. The trade-off is a slightly lower cell voltage (3.2V per cell, 4 cells = 12.8V) and lower energy density than the NMC cells used in EVs. In return, you get lifespans that make NMC look disposable: 3,000 to 25,000 cycles depending on use, against NMC's 1,000 to 2,500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiFePO4 is now widely considered safer than lead-acid. Cells can be installed in any orientation (upright is optimum), contain no liquid electrolyte, and are fully recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-tlp-key=\"cycles\" data-tlp-title=\"Cycle life you won't outlive\"\u003eCycle life you won't outlive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cycle is one full discharge plus one full recharge.

All batteries lose capacity with use - the harder you work them, the faster that happens. LiFePO4 is remarkably resistant: expect a 5-10% capacity drop every decade of normal use. Natural degradation isn't a valid warranty claim - if a battery stops holding enough capacity for your use, it's time to replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warranty covers components against premature failure caused by manufacturing faults.

Lower cost to you, lower carbon footprint, faster turnaround.
