Battery Storage sourcing FAQ
QWhy is LFP the dominant battery chemistry?
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is cobalt-free, has 6,000+ cycle life at 80% DoD, excellent thermal stability (no thermal runaway under typical abuse), and now costs $0.06–0.09/Wh at cell level — well below NMC for stationary applications.
QWhat does 'liquid-cooled BESS' mean?
Liquid cooling circulates dielectric coolant around battery cells, maintaining ±2°C cell-to-cell variance vs ±8°C for air-cooled. This extends cycle life 20–30% and supports 1C+ continuous discharge in high-ambient climates.
QWhat round-trip efficiency should I expect?
Modern Chinese tier-1 BESS (Sungrow PowerStack, CATL EnerOne, BYD MC Cube) achieve 88–92% AC round-trip efficiency including PCS losses.
