What's the DOD for LiFePO4 Batteries?

Latest company news about What's the DOD for LiFePO4 Batteries?

What is the DOD of lithium-iron (LFP) battery?

In order to define the depth of discharge of a lithium battery, we should first define what is battery capacity. Battery capacity is the total electrical energy supply available from the battery, which can be expressed as a unit of power over time, e.g. B. Kilowatt-hours (kWh).The depth of discharge is the percentage of the battery that has been discharged relative to the total battery capacity of the battery. For instance, with a battery capacity of 10kWH, when you discharge 80% of the capacity, which is 80kWH, the DOD would be 80%. Then, it would be easy to understand, when the DOD of the lithium-iron battery is 80%, it indicates that there is 20% left of the capacit

What is the influence of DOD on lithium-iron battery?

The effect of the depth of discharge on the battery is: the deeper the depth of discharge, the easier it is to shorten the battery life, on the other hand, the performance on the discharge curve. The deep discharge comes with unstable voltage and current, and under the same discharge system, a small voltage value will deepen the discharge depth.

What can we do to control the influence of DOD?

In practice, the termination voltage value is usually used to control the DOD. When the lithium-iron battery is likely to be over-discharged, the voltage of the lithium-iron battery is lower than the IC over-discharge voltage detection point of 2.2V (some set to 2.5V). At this time, the discharge protection function is activated, and the MOSFET turns from ON to OFF to cut off the discharge, thus completing the control of the depth of discharge of the lithium-iron battery.

 

A general rule of thumb is that the following DOD should be considered:

  • Flooded Lead Acid = 50% DOD
  • AGM = 60% DOD
  • Lithium = up to 100%
