What are Base batteries made of? What are the advantages of our chemical makeup?

Updated over 3 months ago

Base batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) — a proven, reliable, and safe battery chemistry that's ideal for home energy storage.

Why does LFP stand out?

  • Safety First: LFP batteries are inherently more stable than other lithium-ion chemistries, drastically reducing the risk of overheating or thermal runaway — even in extreme conditions.

  • Longer Lifespan: Built to last, LFP batteries support 1,000 to 10,000 charge cycles while maintaining high performance. In comparison, traditional lithium-ion batteries typically last only 500 to 1,000 cycles before loosing capacity.

  • Eco-Friendly: Free from toxic heavy metals like cobalt and nickel, LFP batteries are a safer and more sustainable choice for your home and the environment. With abundant global supplies of iron and phosphate, LFP batteries help reduce supply chain risks and lower costs.

  • Low Maintenance: With no need for regular maintenance or complex cooling systems, LFP batteries run efficiently and reliably with minimal upkeep.
