"By 2002, Stuart founded the LibertyPak company based on lithium-ion batteries incorporating cobalt. Within five years, though, LibertyPak transitioned to another new technology, the even better-performing lithium ferrous phosphate (LFP) platform.
Here are the non-cobalt advantages cited by LibertyPak in its new iteration, SimpliPhi:
Elimination of thermal runaway
No need for ventilation or cooling to prevent heat build-up
Operation at 98% efficiency for over 5,000+ cycles
Up to 100% depth of discharge
Daily cycles for 10 years
Provided 80% savings in operating cost per kWh"
