Low Temperature Lithium Batteries
Standard LiFePO4 loses capacity and risks damage in the cold — EGbatt’s low-temperature cells hold capacity and discharge safely well below freezing for winter-duty applications.
Overview
EGbatt low-temperature batteries use cell chemistry and electrolyte tuned to retain capacity and discharge safely down to about −20°C to −30°C, where a standard LFP would sag hard or refuse to charge. They are for discharge-duty in the cold — outdoor equipment, cold storage, winter off-grid — not for charging below 0°C, which still needs a self-heating variant. We specify low-temperature cells where the duty is cold discharge and keep self-heating for cold charge, so you pay only for what the application needs.
Key specifications
Typical applications
- Cold storage: Constant cold duty.
- Outdoor equipment: Winter operation.
- Winter off-grid: Cold discharge.
- Arctic/RV solar: Low-temperature banks.
How to specify & buying guide
- Pick low-temp cells for cold discharge; add self-heating only if the pack is also charged below 0°C.
- Confirm the low-temperature limit your duty actually needs (don't over-spec).
- Keep the BMS temperature limits aligned with the cell rating.
- Size capacity with cold retention in mind — even low-temp cells lose some capacity at the extreme.
Engineering & manufacturing at EGbatt
Our modules pair matched LiFePO4 cells with a purpose-built BMS, busbars and mechanical enclosure. We design for the thermal and vibration profile of the application — stationary rack, wall mount or mobile pack — and validate the assembly on capacity, IR balance and thermal runaway margin before it ships.
Certifications & compliance
- UN38.3 — Mandatory lithium battery transport test (altitude, thermal, vibration, shock, external short). Required for any cross-border shipment.
- IEC62619 — International safety standard for industrial Li-ion cells and batteries; expected by EU and most APAC buyers.
- CE — EU declaration of conformity for the applicable directives.
- RoHS — Restriction of hazardous substances in the battery and BMS.
- IP65 — Dust-tight and low-pressure water-jet resistant — suitable for outdoor enclosures.
Frequently asked questions
How cold can it discharge?
Down to about −20°C to −30°C depending on the cell, holding far more capacity than standard LFP.
Can it charge in the cold?
Discharge yes; charging below 0°C still needs a self-heating variant.
Low-temp or self-heating?
Low-temp for cold discharge; self-heating for cold charge — sometimes both.
Is it more expensive?
Yes, tuned cells cost more; we spec it only where the duty needs it.
