There are different terms when people talking about lithium iron phosphate battery. Most of China supplier call it LiFePO4 battery for short or LFP battery and lithium Ferro phosphate, The are actually the same type of rechargeable lithium battery but in different writing. It is a type lithium-ion battery using LiFePO4 as the cathode material (on a battery this is the positive side), and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. The energy density of LiFePO4 is lower than lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) chemistry, and also has a lower operating voltage (LiCoO2 rated 3.6 or 3.7v, while LiFePo4 rated 3.2 volt). The main drawback of LiFePO4 is its low electrical conductivity. Therefore, all the LiFePO4 cathodes under consideration are actually LiFePO4/Because of low cost, low toxicity, well-defined performance, long-term stability, etc. LiFePO4 is widely used on Electric vehicles, Small and large energy storage battery systems, utility scale stationary applications, and UPS backup power.

The Prismatic cells are made up of many positive and negative electrodes sandwiched together leaving more possibility for short circuit and inconsistency. The higher capacity makes it easier for large battery pack production. The larger cell size also make the battery price cost down by each kwh, So Prismatic cells can be used for large energy storage systems. Like solar park. And also it can be used for house residential battery system. Of cause it can be used for any other devices, just make sure the size and dimensions are not the problem. Another thing need to emphasize, Prismatic cells is big, its need much more professional production ability to make packs. For example, you may require a laser welding machine to make sure the connection more reliable.
A Majority of LiFePo4 Battery cell manufactueres production is based on China. They are located in different province and city. Like Guangdong province, Shenzhen (where CMX based) city also Dongguang city. You will find many suppliers there. There are trading companies, battery pack manufactuers, BMS PCB design and manufactuer, also Cell manufactuers. Here I would like to list some major player invoved in lithium iron phosphate manufacture. You can find these brand in market anywhere.
You probebly can find same model, some with price little expensive or some are very cheap. Just make sure you get the right battery cells.

Gotion is one of the ealier company started with LiFePo4 technology. The cells from Gotion safe, reliable and well developed electronics meet international standards and requirements.
Lithium iron phosphate cells operate safely over a range of voltages, typically from 2.0V to 3.65V. Some lithium chemistries result in cells that are highly sensitive to overvoltage, but LiFePO4 cells is more tolerant. Still, significant overvoltage for a prolonged period during charging can cause plating of metallic lithium on the battery’s anode which permanently degrades performance. Also, the cathode material may oxidize, become less stable, and produce carbon dioxide which may lead to a buildup of pressure in the cell. All Coremax battery management systems limit each cell and the battery itself to a maximum voltage.
Under-voltage during battery discharge is also a concern since discharging a LiFePO4 cell below approximately 2.0V may result in a breakdown of the electrode materials. Lithium batteries have a recommended minimum operational voltage.
Every battery has a maximum specified current for safe operation. If a load is applied to the battery which draws a higher current, it can result in overheating the battery. While it’s important to use the battery in a way to keep the current draw below the maximum specification, the BMS again acts as a backstop against over-current conditions and disconnects the battery from operation.
For example CMX, the maximum continuous discharge current is specified at 100A, the peak discharge current is 200A, and the BMS disconnects the battery from the circuit if the load draws about 280A.

A short circuit of the battery is the most serious form of over-current condition. It most commonly happens when the electrodes are accidentally connected with a piece of metal. The BMS must quickly detect a short circuit condition before the sudden and massive current draw overheats the battery and causes catastrophic damage.
Lithium-ion batteries have a major difference from lead-acid batteries when it comes to balancing the voltage in each individual cell during charging. Because of small differences in manufacturing or operating conditions, each cell in a battery charges at a slightly different rate. In a lead-acid battery, if one cell charges faster and reaches its full voltage, the typical low end of charge current, along with the excess charge-return, will ensure the other cells get fully charged. In a sense, the cells in a lead-acid battery are self-equalizing during charge.
This is not the case with lithium-ion batteries. When a lithium-ion cell is fully charged, its voltage begins to rise further which may lead to electrode damage. If the charge of the entire battery is stopped when only one cell is fully charged, the remaining cells do not reach full charge and the battery will operate below peak capacity. A well-designed BMS will ensure each cell safely and fully charges before the entire charging process is complete.
A really off-the-shelf product battery should has a BMS or Battery Management System, as almost all LFP batteries that are sold as a 12/24/48 Volt pack do. The BMS takes care of protecting the battery; it disconnects the battery when it is discharged, or threatens to be over-charged. The BMS also takes care of limiting the charge and discharge currents, monitors cell temperature (and curtails charge/discharge if needed), and most will balance the cells each time a full charge is done (think of balancing as bringing all the cells inside the battery pack to the same state-of-charge, similar to equalizing for a lead-acid battery). Unless you like living on the edge, you will not want a battery without BMS!
At Coremax, all our lithium iron phosphate batteries include an internal or external BMS. Let’s have a look at how a CMX BMS protects and optimizes the operation of a lithium iron phosphate battery.
The production process of lithium batteries is divided into three stages: “Front stage, Middle stage, Final stage”.
In general, according to the lithium ion battery production process, it can be divided into front, middle and back production, and each stage requires different equipment to achieve its function.
Xiaowei has rich experience. When customers give us their battery requirements, we can configure the most suitable production line and solution.
Building a customizable and flexible battery production line is Xiaowei’s advantage. We create a complete line solution for lithium battery production lines by designing the equipment required for each process before, during and after the lithium battery. The delivery of the entire line not only improves the production efficiency and output of lithium batteries, but also facilitates the rapid changeover of multiple types of batteries. Compared with the equipment compatibility issues that need to be considered for splicing lines, our complete line equipment has smooth front-end and back-end process interaction and good compatibility, which means that you can easily change the type of battery produced. For example, the conversion of coin cell, cylindrical, pouch cell, prismatic cell and solid-state batteries (Lithium-ion battery | Sodium-ion battery), you only need to replace the equipment in the middle of the production link to achieve the rapid transformation and mass production of the entire battery production line, which is economical and efficient.
