Yinlong - The pioneer in LTO batteries

The Chinese battery manufacturer Yinlong can claim to have revolutionized the global energy industry: As a pioneer in the field of LTO batteries (lithium titanium oxide), the Zhuahi-based company has been able to gain worldwide recognition within a very short space of time. The special feature of the LTO batteries manufactured by Yinlong is their ability to deliver extremely high currents of up to 10C and to accept equally high charging currents. LTO technology is also very safe, so there is no risk of fire even if the battery is damaged.

LTO batteries, complete sets and accessories

Yinlong offers LTO round cells in 35 Ah, 40 Ah and 45 Ah, for example the LTO 66160H 40 Ah B-grade cells. In addition to complete sets (see the Yinlong 6-cell battery sets 66160H 40 Ah LTO Set 2 and Set 4), the entire portfolio also includes a wide range of accessories for battery operation, such as connectors, cell holders and balancers.

The differences between LTO and LiFePO4 batteries

Yinlong brand LTO batteries differ from LiFePO4 lithium batteries primarily in terms of their service life. LTO batteries have ten times the cycle life of LiFePO4 cells. Another advantage of LTO technology is its lower temperature sensitivity, whereby the batteries can even be charged at temperatures below freezing.

LTO and LiFePO4 in direct comparison

Although LiFePO4 batteries are still more affordable, the prices of LTO cells have fallen significantly in recent years. It should also be borne in mind that batteries based on LiFePO4 technology have a shorter service life, allow lower charging and discharging currents (only 2C to 3C compared to 10C for LTO batteries manufactured by Yin-long) and are considered somewhat less safe.
