Are Marine LiFePO4 batteries safer than other lithium-ion batteries?
Yes, LiFePO4 batteries are generally considered safer than other lithium-ion chemistries like lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2). LiFePO4 batteries have a more stable chemical structure, which reduces the risk of thermal runaway and fire, even under high-stress conditions. They are less prone to overheating and are more resistant to short-circuits.
