Meta Description: Understand how high and low temperatures influence LiFePO4 battery performance and how to protect against degradation.
Keywords: LiFePO4 temperature performance, battery degradation, cycle life, lithium battery maintenance

1. Why Temperature Matters

Temperature is one of the main external factors influencing LiFePO₄ battery performance and longevity.

2. High-Temperature Effects

Excessive heat (>45°C) accelerates electrolyte decomposition and increases internal resistance, reducing overall lifespan.

3. Low-Temperature Effects

At sub-zero temperatures, ion mobility decreases, lowering discharge capacity and causing voltage drops.

4. Optimal Temperature Range

To achieve the best results, maintain LiFePO₄ batteries between 15°C and 35°C. Many systems now use built-in heating or cooling solutions for stable performance.

5. Conclusion

Proper thermal management can extend battery life by up to 30%, ensuring efficient and consistent energy storage year-round.
