Lithium batteries are lightweight and provide higher energy density than lead-acid or nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, creating a demand for them in electric vehicles (EV), energy storage, and consumer electronics. Compared to NiMH batteries, lithium batteries have a 50 percent greater capacity in watt-hours per kilogram (w-h/kg).

The EV industry is demanding higher-efficiency batteries; in response, big battery manufacturers like EverExceed are stepping up lithium battery production. For example:

• EverExceed have buildup a big factory of Lithium batteries for different applications including LEV, in Dongguan, China that is on a 160 acres facility with 2 cell production and 3 pack production lines; annually have the production capacity over 700MWH.

• All commercial EVs contain lithium batteries, as do plug-in hybrid vehicles. With lots of manufacturers currently selling electric or plug-in models, and more models to come in near years, this is an encouraging market for battery manufacturers.

• Lots of car manufacturers are offering lithium batteries in their higher-end hybrid vehicles, allowing those cars to achieve the same mileage as more-stripped-down models with NiMH batteries, even though they contain options that add additional weight.

There are some critical factors for LFP batteries in LEV application that you need to take care of. They are:

Critical factor: Improving Performance

Despite the advantages of lithium batteries, they suffer from some challenges that may delay widespread adoption. Operating life and total life span remain the primary issues.

Operating life between charges is greater in today’s batteries than it was in older designs, but it still leaves ample room for improvement, especially for EVs like forklift, AGV, three wheeler vehicles, golf carts etc. Mobile phone batteries can last an entire day before they need charging, even when running demanding applications, which is sufficient for most consumers. When they need charging, it is easy to find an outlet and charge the phone within an hour. EV range, while improving, has some limitations on many vehicles. Charging stations are not always conveniently located. Standard level 2 chargers take many hours to charge a depleted battery, making them impractical for drivers needing to travel long distances, if you don't choose a top brand for your battery like EverExceed. EverExceed can provide you a suitable LEV battery solution which will satisfy your need as per your application demand.

Lithium batteries used in mobile phones and laptops last only a few years, after which they can no longer hold a charge. A good brand like EverExceed provided EV batteries are much more rugged, and many come with 8- to 10-year warranties.

Critical factor: Addressing Safety Concerns

The recall of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones in September 2016 again brought lithium battery safety concerns to the forefront. Samsung initially believed the culprit was a manufacturing defect from a specific third-party battery supplier that caused the devices to catch fire. The company offered customers free replacement batteries from a different supplier. When phones with the replacement batteries also caught fire, Samsung responded by ceasing manufacture of all Galaxy Note 7 phones in October. As of January 2017, nearly all the 3 million Note 7 phones sold have been returned to Samsung. The Samsung story underscores the importance of designing batteries with the end application in mind and conducting thorough system-level tests. While Samsung continues to blame battery design, it is likely that the power and footprint demands of that specific phone played a contributing role.

Several dramatic incidents involving Tesla cars, during which the cars were totally consumed within minutes after a battery fire started, drive home the critical importance of lithium battery reliability.

Some types of lithium batteries are more prone to catching fire than other types of lithium batteries. As the prospect of an EV catching fire is frightening, the risk of fire can be drastically reduced by giving consumers confidence that lithium batteries are safe. And to do so, during a cell production process, EverExceed individually tests each cell in several phases, like 72hrs HT aging, 3 OCV tests, 14 days RT aging, capacity test, Over-charge, Over-discharge, Short circuit test, extrusion test, prick test, combustion test, salt spray corrosion test etc. After passing through all these tests, it is impossible for a battery to pass through the gate of our factory with any kind of fault that can cause any hazards later.

So for not only having the long cycle life, uninterrupted discharging performance, fast charging capability, higher energy density, but also if you need a lithium battery which will give you worry free operation, and less stress regarding the safety, EverExceed lithium iron phosphate batteries are the best choice for you, because EverExceed LFP guarantees you NO FIRE, NO EXPLOSION!
