Difference Between F1 & F2 Terminal Types On Batteries

Batteries come in various types, including Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) Batteries and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries. These batteries are commonly used in applications such as medical mobility wheelchairs, uninterrupted power systems (UPS), ride-on toys for kids, and razor scooters. When it comes to battery terminals, the F1 (T1) and F2 (T2) terminals are frequently encountered in SLA batteries. However, for LiFePO4 batteries, the terminal types may differ.

In SLA batteries, the F1 and F2 terminals are flat blade-type terminals that protrude at an angle from the top or side of the battery. The F1 terminal is narrower, while the F2 terminal is wider. The F1, also known as No. 187, has a width of 0.187″ (equivalent to 3/16″ or 4.75 mm). On the other hand, the F2, also known as No. 250, has a width of 0.25″ (equivalent to 1/4″ or 6.35 mm). These terminals are commonly used in SLA batteries and require corresponding connectors.

However, when it comes to LiFePO4 batteries, the terminal types may vary. LiFePO4 batteries often use different types of terminals, such as threaded terminals or bolt terminals, rather than the F1 and F2 terminals commonly found in SLA batteries. It is important to carefully review the product specifications and consult with the manufacturer to ensure the compatibility of the battery terminals with your specific application.
