Lithium batteries have been around since the 1990s, but their popularity has exploded in the past few years. These batteries support various practical applications, ranging from powering small devices like mobile phones, laptops and pacemakers, to big machines, such as life-saving medical equipment, personal mobility scooters and luxury yachts. So, almost everyone requires a lithium battery now for one use or another.

The online and offline market is flooded with lithium batteries, but selecting the one that meets your needs is challenging. Several factors need to be considered to select the right battery, such as the rate of charging, range of operating temperature, lifespan and more.

One battery that I believe ticks all the boxes is the GOLDENMATE 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery.

GOLDENMATE Lithium Battery is a LiFePO4 battery, and this in itself makes it superior to many others. The LiFePO4 (Lithium iron phosphate) battery is much better than the usual lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery. LiFePO4 is the latest development in the battery industry.

Although LiFePO4 is a type of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, the former is much better than the latter in several ways. LiFePO4 batteries are much safer and stable, thus less prone to thermal runaway and overheating issues that have plagued lithium-ion batteries. It means you can confidently keep a LiFePO4 battery in your home without worrying about fire safety issues.

Moreover, LiFePO4 batteries have a wider operating temperature range, ranging from -4°F (-20°C) to as high as 140°F (60°C). In comparison, Li-ion batteries have an operating temperature range of 32°F (0°C) to 113°F (45°C).

The longer lifespan of LiFePO4 batteries also makes them better than Li-ion batteries. Li-ion batteries, on average, go through around 500 charges, but LiFePO4 batteries can go through thousands of cycles before their performance starts to drop. A longer lifespan also helps to reduce e-waste.

Now, let's talk about what makes GOLDENMATE LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries better than most other LiFePO4 batteries.

Goldenmate LiFePO4 batteries feature a built-in BMS (Battery Management System). This protects the battery from getting overcharged, overheated, short-circuiting, over-discharge and over-current.

Also, the Goldenmate LiFePO4 battery offers an exceptional self-discharge rate. This translates into longer maintenance-free storage (up to 1 year, per the company's claims). During my use, I found the battery to discharge evenly and encountered no issues at all with charging. Moreover, the Goldenmate battery supports quick charge with 10A.

Apart from these technical benefits, another advantage that you get with Goldenmate is quick customer service. Several reviews of the Goldenmate battery (on amazon.com) have applauded its prompt customer service.

The physical specs of the battery also make it better than most others. Goldenmate's battery is small in size and lightweight, making it more portable.

GOLDENMATE 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 is good, but it is not without drawbacks. Its biggest drawback is that it doesn't come with its M6 bolts (you need to buy them yourself). Another drawback is that it is a little more expensive (costing $599) than other similar batteries on the market.

Despite the drawbacks, I like the battery's overall performance. It is comparatively more portable, has better longevity and is powerful enough to meet all my needs. I recommend using it, provided you are okay with its price point.
