What is the Cycle Life of a LiFePO4 Battery?

Good quality LiFePO4 batteries can easily last for over 5000 cycles. This value is calculated at 80% Depth of Discharge. ‘Good quality’ is the main keyword here, as the cycle life can vary significantly between manufacturers. NASN Lithium batteries come with a 5-year warranty, last for a minimum of 6000 cycles, and remain in optimal health. 

The cycle life that the manufacturer provides with the battery is just an approximate indication. The actual cycle life can vary significantly based on many factors，such as battery type,depth of discharge,charge rate, temperature,Usage Pattern etc.

Here are some average cycle life values for different battery chemistries:

Lead Acid Battery: 300 Cycles

Nickel Cadmium Battery: 1000 Cycles

Nickel Metal Hydride Battery: 400 Cycles

Lithium Ion Battery (Cobalt): 1000 Cycles

Lithium Ion Battery (Manganese): 1000 Cycles

Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery: 3000~10000 Cycles
