Why some of the BMS are failing in case of LFP batteries? And how to avoid them?

  We must have heard in recent times that few of the LFP BMS are failing in recent times. Main reason for that will be discussed over here based on my studies and understanding. Do keep in mind that these studies can likely have errors as I am still studying about functioning of LFP batteries. To start our understanding we will be starting with the concept of memory effect. Memory Effect Word of Caution: Don’t google definition of memory effect. That definition doesn’t apply to LFP batteries. Memory effect observed in LFP batteries is completely different. Source: Indiamart Memory effect is influenced by the point of starting and stopping the charging cycle. Some papers are showing that starting point will be showing memory effect point while some are showing that even end point will also showcase memory effect. I know this will be little confusing for you as you are not aware about the exact functioning of memory effect in LFP yet. So lets first understand that. Lets conside...

Functioning of LFP Battery Chemistry: EV's Perspective

  This post will constantly be updated with latest studies which I do regarding LiFePo4 batteries and how they perform under various conditions. So stay tuned. EVs have become quite popular with the usage of NMC battery chemistry. NMC batteries became popular due to the lower amount of battery complexity, which led to a much easier BMS design for those companies. But the prime reason EVs didn't become mainstream was because of the battery longevity. We all know NMC batteries need to be operated between 20 to 80% SoC to maintain its battery health for a long time. While it's not the same case with LFP batteries. Now in this article, we will be discussing in depth about functioning of LFP batteries. Introduction LFP batteries are also one kind of Lithium-ion batteries. Its full form is referred to as Lithium Iron Phosphate. It was mainly originated from EVs manufactured in China. It gained popularity due to its capacity to withstand extreme climatic conditions and also high c...

Choosing the right solar rooftop for your needs

  We see a lots of people installing solar rooftops in today’s time. But still lots of people are still skeptical about going for solar rooftop. The main reason for that is the high initial cost, which is scarring them away from the great benefits which solar energy has to offer. People who have gone for solar rooftop are definitely witnessing their benefits and are also encouraging other people to opt for it. We will be sharing here some of the basic things which one needs to be aware of while choosing the right solar rooftop for their needs. Residential Solar Panels: An introduction Residential solar panels are either monocrystalline, polycrystalline or thin film panels. All of them has their own pros, cons and efficiency rates. In terms of suitability, monocrystalline and polycrystalline panels are most suitable for residential application because of their higher efficiency, longer life, etc. Choosing the right solar panel for your need Lots of people has this common q...
