LiFePO4 batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that offer several benefits over traditional lead-acid batteries. The main advantage is that their terminal voltage stays above 12V, 90% of the discharge time. They are more efficient as lead acid batteries. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries are safer because they are less likely to overheat or explode as other high energy battery types. They have a significantly longer lifespan compared to other batteries. They can easily last 10 years and still have 80% capacity in a normal ham radio application where a battery is used maybe 20 to 30 times a year for a portable setup. They have a lower environmental impact, as they don’t contain any toxic chemicals like lead or acid. They are lightweight and can operate in any position.
