Solution
Hot-climate battery packs usually fail for a simple reason: the cell was qualified at room temperature, then asked to work for years inside a vehicle, machine, or outdoor enclosure where heat never really leaves. Capacity drops faster, internal resistance rises, and the pack starts aging before the vehicle platform is ready to retire.
The PC20F-T and PA46F-C are built for that failure mode. Instead of only listing room-temperature cycle life, this series is rated at 45°C: ≥2000 cycles for the 20Ah PC20F-T under 1C/3C testing, and ≥2500 cycles for the 46Ah PA46F-C under 1C/1C testing. For OEMs building vehicles for the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and other hot-weather regions, these cells give the pack a stronger starting point.

Application Areas
- Electric Motorcycles and Scooters: 3C continuous discharge supports acceleration loads while the 45°C cycle-life rating helps fleets operating in hot cities.
- Special Purpose Vehicles: inspection carts, emergency vehicles, and light construction platforms benefit from pouch cells designed for repeated heat exposure.
- Hot-Climate Export Platforms: the PA46F-C operates up to +65°C, making it a stronger fit for enclosed packs used in high-ambient-temperature regions.
- Cold-and-Hot Outdoor Equipment: the PC20F-T covers a wider low-temperature range down to -43°C while still supporting +55°C operation.
- Custom Battery Packs: the stacked pouch format supports compact module layouts, thermal design, and BMS integration through LiTrue's custom battery pack development work.
FAQs
What is the difference between PC20F-T and PA46F-C?
The PC20F-T is the 20Ah model, rated for -43°C to +55°C operation and 7C pulse discharge. The PA46F-C is the 46Ah model, rated for -30°C to +65°C operation and 4C pulse discharge. Both are LFP stacked pouch cells designed for high-temperature service.
Why is the cycle life listed at 45°C?
Because that is closer to how many vehicle and outdoor battery packs actually age. A room-temperature cycle-life number can look clean on paper, but it does not tell a hot-climate OEM much. These cells are positioned around thermal aging resistance, so the 45°C test condition is the useful number.
How much current can these cells support?
For PC20F-T, 3C continuous discharge equals about 60A, and 7C pulse discharge equals about 140A. For PA46F-C, 3C continuous discharge equals about 138A, and 4C pulse discharge equals about 184A. Final pack current still depends on tab welding, busbars, thermal design, and BMS settings.
Which model should I choose for hot regions?
Use PA46F-C when the pack needs higher capacity and operation up to +65°C. Use PC20F-T when the design needs a smaller cell, stronger pulse discharge, or a wider low-temperature range down to -43°C.
Can LiTrue help with module and BMS design?
Yes. LiTrue can support cell matching, module layout, BMS selection, thermal management, and validation for OEM battery systems. Send the target voltage, peak current, enclosure size, operating temperature, and annual volume to the LiTrue engineering team.
