What type of batteries does Tesla use?

[DiAthena]

Tesla uses ternary lithium batteries and 55 kWh lithium iron phosphate batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are characterized by their light weight, high capacity, and lack of memory effect. Differences between ternary lithium batteries and lithium iron phosphate batteries: Different properties: Lithium iron phosphate batteries use lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material for lithium-ion batteries; ternary lithium batteries use nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide or nickel-cobalt-aluminum oxide as the ternary cathode material. Different main materials: Lithium iron phosphate battery materials mainly include lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel oxide, ternary materials, and lithium iron phosphate. Among these, lithium cobalt oxide is the cathode material for most lithium-ion batteries; ternary lithium batteries are composed of ternary composite cathode materials made from nickel salts, cobalt salts, and manganese salts, with the proportions of nickel, cobalt, and manganese adjustable based on actual needs. Different applications: Lithium iron phosphate batteries are used in large electric vehicles: buses, electric vehicles, sightseeing vehicles, and hybrid vehicles; light electric vehicles: electric bicycles, golf carts, small electric scooters, forklifts, cleaning vehicles, electric wheelchairs, etc.; power tools: electric drills, saws, lawn mowers, etc. Ternary lithium batteries are widely used in mobile and wireless electronic devices, power tools, hybrid and electric vehicles, and other fields.
