Phosphate is going to be in demand very soon and not just for farming!!
SUMMARY
The safety characteristics inherent to LiFePo4 technology result from the incorporation of phosphates as the cathode material. Phosphates are extremely stable in overcharge or short circuit conditions and have the ability to withstand high temperatures without decomposing. When abuse does occur, phosphates are not prone to thermal runaway and will not burn. As a result, LiFePo4 technology possesses safety characteristics that are fundamentally superior to those of lithium-ion batteries made with other cathode materials.
LiFePo4 technology does not contain any heavy metals and does not exhibit the "memory effect" of Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-metal Hydride solutions. LiFePo4 technology demonstrates excellent shelf life, long cycle life and is maintenance free.
Another key benefit of LiFePo4 technology is its flexibility, both in terms of battery application and cell design. It can be used in wound cylindrical, wound prismatic and polymer battery construction types and manufactured to fit smaller applications.
The advantages of traditional lithium-ion coupled with the safety features of phosphates, make LiFePo4 technology the lithium-ion technology for the future. Our LiFePo4 technology utilizes natural, phosphate-based material and offers the greatest combination of performance, safety, cost, reliability and environmental characteristics.
We all use and take for granted the benefits of lithium-ion energy storage systems in our cell phones, notebooks, PDA's, consumer appliances and other devices. However, recent recalls by the US Consumer Protection Commission have brought to light the potential hazards of lithium-ion batteries. Just imagine what could happen to a large lithium-ion battery if an electric/hybrid electric vehicle were rear-ended or if a manufacturing defect or other abuse caused a thermal event in a mission critical telecom backup system. The results could be devastating.
Liberty is intent on working on developing and making available to all EV applications the LiFePo4 technology—the only safe large format lithium-ion rechargeable battery technology. We sincerely hope to have a chance to cooperate with our customers all over the world and contribute the latest world-wide technology to our customers' prosperous business future.
