LiFePO4 batteries have many advantages over more traditional Li-ion batteries. These advantages include longer cycle life, better thermal performance, resistance to thermal runaway, and higher discharge currents. This makes LiFePO4 batteries good for applications that need a long cycles life, higher safety requirements, or higher discharge currents. However, due to their voltage difference and lower energy density, LiFePO4 should not charge their batteries to a SOC 80% to preserve its cycle life because it will not utilize a large percentage of its capacity. Since, LiFePO4 batteries have a longer cycle life, they can be charged to 100% SOC and still have a much longer cycle life than Li-ion batteries.
