How long do lithium titanate batteries last?

Johns said at the 20 year mark, the batteries will retain a minimum 80% of their capacity, and if a fault develops, it’s “not a declining warranty” (as is the case for lead acid batteries, for example). And that’s just the warranty life: Johns believes the lithium titanate batteries should have a useful life of as much as 50 years.

What is a lithium titanate battery?

A lithium titanate battery (LTO) is a type of rechargeable battery. It has the advantage of being faster to charge than other lithium-ion batteries, but the disadvantage of having a much lower energy density.

Why should you choose lithium titanate (LTO) batteries?

Lithium Titanate (LTO) batteries offer unmatched fast charging, long cycle life, safety, and temperature tolerance at the cost of lower energy density and higher price. Their unique chemistry delivers reliable performance where rapid recharge and longevity are vital.

How long does a lithium ion battery last?

Ultra-fast charging: Capable of fully charging in as little as 10 minutes due to high lithium-ion diffusion in the titanate anode. Exceptional cycle life: Can endure upwards of 15,000 to 20,000 charge cycles with minimal capacity loss, far surpassing other lithium-ion batteries.

Do lithium titanate batteries degrade easily?

The lithium titanate battery is capable of charging fast and storing energy for a longer period. They do not easily degrade because they are built using nanocrystals that enhance fast charging. The nanocrystals are used in place of traditional carbon elements as the anode during the chemical reaction.

How long do LTO batteries last?

LTO batteries boast an extraordinary cycle life, capable of more than 30,000 full charge and discharge cycles. After serving for approximately 10 years as a power battery, they can transition to energy storage applications for an additional 20 years, virtually eliminating the need for replacement and significantly reducing long-term costs.
