Big LiFePO4 lithium batteries

The guys working on the Phoebus project, which is a 100% electric car, are testing these batteries.  I was able to grab some pictures and informations on them. The Phoebus project is a final engineering project done by mechanical and electrical engineering students at the University of Sherbrooke. I know a few guys on the team.

Those are LiFePO4 lithium battery. They are very big.  They have a nominal capacity of 14Ah and a continuous discharge rate of 10C ( 140Ah) which is not a lot.

EIG lithium batteries

Yep, those are big! Will not fit in my scooter! They are too wide for my scooter.

Model number is F014 and it is manucfactured by EIGbattery.

The maximum discharge rate of those battery is very low, 10C. Normal RC lithium battery are now in the 30 to 40C. That is 40 time the nominal capacity, so when you have 5Ah that is 40*5=120Ah continuous discharge!

If I choose the EIG battery, I would use the C008 , C015 or F010. The other models are very long (20cm) and large (15cm).
