Growatt says its new solar generator, Infinity 1300, uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries to achieve a 3,000-plus cycle lifespan. The generator can be fully charged with solar panels, resulting in 1,382 Wh of capacity and 1,800 W of output. It can perform a fast charge in 1.8 hours by using an AC input. The …

Fast charging for lithium-ion batteries needs a fix Scientists in the United States placed fast charging for lithium-ion batteries under the microscope, finding that charging at higher rates can quickly damage the structure of a graphite anode, causing capacity loss even after a small number of cycles. By identifying the mechanisms causing this performance loss, …
