Hey,
My group and I are designing an electric bike and we're looking into batteries for the bike.
So far I've been looking into Lithium Polymer batteries for their power-weight ratio and fast charge cycles. But everywhere I look, people else seems to be using Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
Aside from safety and longer life cycle, I can't seem to find an advantage that LiFePO4 has over LiPO (it's even heavier for the same capacity).
Can someone direct me to a website that shows the comparison between these two batteries. Or can you give me a reason why companies prefer lifepo4 batteries over LiPO for their bikes.
Thanks
