Why BLUETTI solar generators are safer thanks to LiFePO4 energy cells

In just three years, solar generators from BLUETTI have become the most successful and best products within their segment. The new BLUETTI AC200 MAX benefits from numerous improvements thanks to lightweight and safe LiFePO4 energy cells. But what are the advantages of lithium iron phosphate batteries in the first place?

What are BLUETTI LiFePO4 power cells?

LiFePO4, or LFP, stands for lithium iron phosphate and was developed back in 1996. The biggest advantage is that corresponding energy cells or batteries offer one of the best electromechanical performances with low resistance currently available on the market.

This is mainly due to the tiny phosphate cathode material in the battery. Simply put, LiFePO4 power cells, such as those used in the new BLUETTI AC200 MAX power station, are more durable, heat resistant and offer an added level of safety.

With the help of electrolytes, LiFePO4 energy cells are charged by releasing lithium ions from the cathode and moving to the anode. When the battery’s power is called upon, the reverse reaction is triggered. This creates a flow of electrons between these two electrodes, which generates an electrical charge.

LiFePO4 power cells versus NCM and lithium-ion batteries

Compared to NCM and lithium-ion batteries, as we find them today in many rechargeable batteries and energy cells – for example of smartphones or other electrical devices – LiFePO4 energy cells offer several decisive advantages at once.

This can be seen in a direct comparison of the BLUETTI AC200 Max Powerstation including B230 & EP500 battery with corresponding solutions from other manufacturers such as Jackery (lithium-ion batteries) and Ecoflow (NCM batteries).

Here, BLUETTI’s LiFePO4 technology is clearly ahead in terms of life span with a comparable capacity of around 2,000 watt hours. 3,500 charging cycles compared to 500 and 800 cycles respectively.

Putting this in relation to the selling price, as well as the maximum energy that can be retrieved in watt-hours within the life cycle, BLUETTI’s LiFePO4 energy cells end up at $0.285 per kWh. Jackery Li-ion cells, on the other hand, are $2.67/kWh, while Ecoflow (NCM) is $1.48/kWh. So in the long run, BLUETTI is clearly ahead here, largely due to the tremendous longevity of LiFePO4 batteries.

Why LiFePO4 batteries are perfect for solar generators

LiFePO4 energy cells are particularly lightweight compared to other battery technologies, which in turn makes a solar generator much more mobile. The new BLUETTI AC200 Max, for example, weighs in at just 28.1 kg, which is quite a feat for such a powerful and durable generator. After all, in combination with two B230 battery modules, it has an output of 6,144 watt hours.

With over 3,500 charge and discharge cycles, the batteries in the AC200 Max also last a long time, enabling thousands of charging processes over several years. This is a factor that should not be underestimated when buying a high-quality product. After all, you want to get something out of it for a long time, don’t you?

At the same time, LiFePO4 batteries also work extremely efficiently and let you use up to 90 percent of their full capacity freely. Another advantage: Corresponding energy cells require almost no maintenance over their entire service life.

In addition, they are significantly safer than NCM batteries, which is due, for example, to the air-safe aluminum jacket. This means that solar generators from BLUETTI can even be used at extreme temperatures between -20 and +40 degrees Celsius. So you are well prepared for the next Arctic or Sahara expedition.
