How is the cycle life of lithium iron phosphate batteries related to temperature changes?

The cycle life of lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO4) is closely related to temperature change. Here are a few key points to illustrate this relationship:

main content

High temperature effects:

Under high temperature conditions (above 45°C or 113°F), LiFePO4 batteries self-discharge faster, losing charge even when the battery is not in use.
High temperatures also reduce the cycle life of the battery, as frequent exposure to high temperatures accelerates the aging process of the battery.
In extreme cases, very high temperatures can cause thermal runaway, and the battery can overheat and fail.

Optimum temperature range:

In the temperature range from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F), LiFePO4 batteries are most balanced, providing the best capacity and efficiency. Maintaining this temperature range can significantly extend battery life.

Low temperature effects:

At low temperatures (below 0°C or 32°F), the chemical reaction of the battery slows down, resulting in a temporary decrease in total capacity.
Low temperatures also cause an increase in resistance inside the battery, which can lead to less efficient energy transfer and can make the battery work harder during discharge, affecting its overall performance.
Overall, low temperatures make LiFePO4 batteries less efficient in terms of energy output and charge rate.

Voltage change:

The standard voltage of a LiFePO4 battery is 3.2V, but this value is not constant, especially at different temperatures.
At different SOC (State of Charge) levels, batteries have different sensitivity to temperature changes, and batteries with lower SOC are more sensitive to temperature changes.

Effect of temperature on cycle life:

Studies have shown that battery performance and reliability are best in the temperature range between 35°C and 40°C, while also minimizing differences between batteries.
The increase in temperature will affect the mean and variance of the battery performance, and thus affect the cycle life of the battery.

The effect of temperature on battery aging:

Temperature is an important factor affecting battery cycle life, and the aging parameters and cycle life models of batteries at different temperatures are also different.
Accelerated life tests at different operating temperatures and SOC levels show that storage time, temperature, and voltage have significant effects on battery aging.

CONCLUSION

In summary, the cycle life of lithium iron phosphate batteries is significantly affected by temperature changes. Operating the battery within the optimal temperature range extends its service life and maintains optimum performance. Both high and low temperatures can adversely affect the performance and life of the battery, so temperature management is an important consideration for the storage and use of lithium iron phosphate batteries.
