EV Battery Cell and ESS Battery Cell

There is some information we may need to clarify.
Simply put, LiFePO4 battery cells can be broadly divided into two types (summarized from the EVE website).

Battery Cell Classification

One type is for energy storage systems(ESS), and the other is for EV systems.
Energy storage systems include home energy storage, grid-connected solar energy storage, and industrial and commercial energy storage.
EV systems refer to the power source in new energy vehicles.

One is static, and the other is dynamic.

The requirements for battery cells differ between the two. Energy storage system battery cells require stable energy output, while EV system battery cells require instantaneous discharge rates of several C(Capacity).

Let's look at the specifications of EVE MB31 and MB56 battery cells.

Both of these battery cells have a charge/discharge rate of 0.5P, suitable for energy storage systems.

EVE LF105 and LF304 battery cells, on the other hand, have a charge/discharge rate of 1C, suitable for EV systems.

So, can energy storage system battery cells and EV system battery cells be mixed?For example, can MB31 be used in an EV?

The answer is: No.  Because EV systems require instantaneous high current, MB31 cells cannot meet the application requirements, and MB31 cells cannot withstand sudden high current demands, which would damage the battery cells.

Can EV system battery cells be used for energy storage? For example, can LF304 be used in a home energy storage system?
The answer is: Yes.
LF304 can easily handle the demands of a home energy storage system, but we need to consider one thing: the LF304 battery cell has a cycle life of 4000 times, which is half the cycle life of MB31 cells (8000 cycles).
