BYD recently announced that it will stop using 12V lead-acid starting battery on its electric vehicles, which will be equipped with 12V LFP starting battery instead. BYD becomes the first carmaker in the world that applies LFP starting battery to all of its electric vehicles.
Compared with lead-acid battery, BYD's LFP starting battery has longer cycle life of over 3,000 cycle times, which almost equals the service life of the entire vehicle, against an average life of 2-3 years for lead-acid battery.
