| Energy Density |
Higher: (typically 150–250 Wh/kg; advanced formulations up to ~380 Wh/kg).
|
Lower: (typically 120–200 Wh/kg, though improving).
|
| Safety/Thermal Runaway |
Moderate: need strict BMS & cooling
|
Very High: Ultra-stable, low fire risk
|
| Cycle Life |
Long: (~1,800-2,500 cycles).
|
Very Long: (2,000–10,000 cycles), excellent for stationary storage.
|
| Cost |
Higher: due to cobalt and nickel.
|
Lower: no precious metals, stable supply chain.
|
| Low-Temperature Performance |
Excellent: retain ≥75% capacity at -20℃ |
Moderate: (capacity drops more in cold. only ~50% capacity at -20℃).
|
