Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are close to regular lion batteries but don't use manganese or cobalt and are much more durable. They have much higher discharge rates and can undergo around 8x the cycles, making their cost over time significantly better than regular lithium ion.
Lithium Titanate batteries have even more durability.
Both of these are fairly recent to being available commercially.
- driverdan 6y agoLiFePO4 batteries have been available for 5+ years. They aren't used in portable devices because they have lower energy density than other lithium batteries. They're great for fixed installations where density isn't an issue.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoI think density per volume is similar, but density per weight is a little less from them being heavier. They should work fine in plenty of portable situations, not everything is a drone. Power tools, universal battery packs that offer AC, USB, etc., scooters, motorcycles, and all sorts of other stuff should work very well. Even golf carts and some scooters use lead acid batteries.
