What is a Lithium Titanate (LTO) Battery

Lithium Titanate Oxide (LTO) battery is a type of lithium-ion battery renowned for high safety and ultra-long lifespan. With its negative electrode made of lithium titanate (Li₄Ti₅O₁₂), it outperforms traditional graphite-based batteries (such as NCM and LFP) in faster charging speed, broader temperature adaptability, and exceptionally long cycle life.

✅ Core Features:

• Ultra-long lifespan: Over 10,000 cycles (300~2000 cycles for conventional lithium batteries)

• Extreme temperature adaptability: Stable operation at -30°C~60°C (conventional lithium batteries are prone to lithium plating at low temperatures)

• Superior safety: Easily passes needle penetration test

• Rapid charge/discharge: Supports 4C~10C high-rate charging/discharging (1C~3C for conventional lithium batteries)

✅ Application Scenarios:

• Medical devices (portable monitors, hearing aids)

• Industrial sensors (low-temperature resistance, long life)

• UAVs (high-rate discharging, low-temperature stability)

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of LTO Batteries

✅ 5 Key Advantages of LTO Batteries

1). Ultra-long cycle life (10,000+ cycles)

Ideal for scenarios requiring long-term use, such as energy storage systems and industrial equipment.

2). Extreme temperature adaptability (-30°C~60°C)

While conventional lithium batteries suffer significant capacity drop below 0°C with safety risks, LTO maintains over 80% performance.

3). Exceptional safety (no thermal runaway risk)

Suitable for high-safety-critical fields like medical devices, military, and aerospace.

4). Rapid charge/discharge (4C~10C)

Perfect for applications such as EV fast charging and UAV high-power discharging.

5). Wide voltage platform (2.4V)

Stable voltage reduces the complexity of Battery Management Systems (BMS).

❌ 3 Disadvantages of LTO Batteries

1). Lower energy density

Not suitable for applications with strict lightweight requirements (e.g., consumer electronics).

2). Higher initial cost

Long-term cost is lower due to extended lifespan.

3). Lower voltage

Nominal voltage of 2.4V; suitable BMS solutions are scarce due to limited market demand for LTO.
