How effective are Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery packs in providing power to electric vehicles?
To understand a vehicle’s reaction to power, we must understand the vehicle characteristics. Weight, dimensions, motor/controller, wheel (rolling) resistance, wind resistance, etc… The most economical pack is one designed to handle all currents, levels of discharge (load demand) and regeneration, but also a design that stays within voltage tolerance, and exceeds power requirements for range by just enough to be cost-effective. Keeping the pack operating in shallow discharge/charge cycles not only allows for peak performance of the entire system, but it more than doubles the life expectancy of the battery pack. Selection of battery pack size depends on how much performance power you are expecting from an EV, and how far the EV is expected to travel each day. As a benchmark, the LiFeBATT 120V / 30 Ah pack provides 3.6kWh of power. A moderate-sized Electric Vehicle (EV) configured with a 15kWh battery pack could provide a range of about 50 miles before the need to recharge. As a very basi
