Lithium Safety

At Alt-Tech we sell lithium iron phosphate (also called LiFePO4 or LFP) batteries.

These are just one of the various types of lithium-ion batteries that are available currently. Many people are aware of the risk of fire that lithium batteries pose, however, it is important to recognise the differences between the different chemistries. Lithium iron phosphate is a very safe, low fire risk, type of lithium. It does not present as much risk as some of the types of lithium batteries you often hear about.

GWL Group, a European battery manufacturer created an excellent video which demonstrates the risk posed by different lithium types.
