About Technology

Q1. Advantages of LiFePO4 vs. lead-acid?
  • 5×+ longer cycle life

  • Lighter & smaller

  • 3× faster charging

  • Up to 99 % depth of discharge

  • 15 % reserve capacity for reliable cranking

  • No fire, no leakage, no hazardous substances

Q2. Why are BBB LiFePO4 batteries more expensive?
  • Exclusive strategic brand of Gotion high-tech automotive cells—only grade-A automotive cells are used

  • Advanced, self-developed BMS with powerful functions

  • All safety components meet OE level

Q3. Are LiFePO4 batteries safer than lead-acid?
  • Automotive-grade power cells designed for on-board environments

  • Multi protections: short circuit, over-charge/discharge, temperature, etc.

  • LiFePO4 chemistry will not ignite

  • Rugged alloy housing resists external impact

Q4. What is a LiFePO4 battery?
LFP = Lithium Iron Phosphate. It offers higher energy density, better safety and zero pollution, making it the trend to replace lead-acid. A pack consists of cells plus a BMS (Battery Management System).
Q5. Which problems does LFP solve?
Replaces lead-acid and eliminates: low capacity, slow charging, cold-start failure (CV), heavy weight and short lifetime.
Q6. Power cell vs. energy cell?
  • Power cell: ~3,000 cycles, built for dynamic vehicle use, higher safety & cost

  • Energy cell: ~8,000 cycles, for static city storage, lower cost but unsuitable for harsh automotive conditions

Q7. What certifications are required?
UN38.3, MSDS, 1.2 m drop-test report, etc. Check your national customs regulations for exact requirements.
Q8. Glossary
SLIG = Starting/Lighting/Ignition/Stop-start
SOC = State of Charge current accuracy
DOD = Depth of Discharge
LFP = Lithium Iron Phosphate
Q9. Any potential risks?
When products meet automotive quality standards and manufacturing rules, no extra risks are expected.
Q10. Transport precautions
Ship at ≤ 50 % SOC; 1.2 m drop-test report and MSDS must accompany the cargo.
Q11. Storage precautions
Store as you would lead-acid batteries—no special requirements.
Q12. Can you guarantee hotel-load run time?
Exact time cannot be guaranteed because power draw depends on appliance rating, ageing, ambient temperature and vehicle self-consumption.
Q13. Can I jump-start or use a lead-acid charger?
Yes, both are possible without performance loss.
Q14. Terminal polarity direction?
Left or right hand can be chosen freely to suit your target market.
Q15. Can I order non-automotive lithium packs?
Yes, please ask your sales manager for details.
