If you’re planning to build a powerful energy storage system in 2025—whether it’s for off-grid solar, a commercial BESS, or an electric vehicle—then Gotion 314Ah and EVE 314Ah LiFePO₄ cells are likely on your radar.
But which one is right for your needs?
In this in-depth guide, we’ll break down the key differences between these two heavyweights in the battery world. You’ll get real-world test data, performance insights, pricing comparisons, and practical advice from Himax Battery, a professional battery manufacturer supporting custom OEM/ODM pack design with both cells.
1. Why Compare Gotion and EVE 314Ah Cells?
The 314Ah LiFePO₄ cell has become the new standard for large-capacity energy storage projects. It offers:
High energy per cell (~1kWh)
Long lifespan
Proven safety profile
Competitive pricing in global supply chains
Gotion and EVE Energy are two of the most recognized manufacturers of 314Ah prismatic cells, and both are being widely used in:
Off-grid solar homes
Commercial/industrial ESS
Forklifts and electric trucks
Custom EV conversion projects
The question is no longer if these cells work—but rather, which one fits your use case better.
2. Quick Specs: Gotion vs. EVE 314Ah at a Glance
| Feature | Gotion 314Ah | EVE 314Ah |
| Voltage | 3.2V | 3.2V |
| Capacity | 314Ah | 314Ah |
| Energy | ~1.0kWh | ~1.0kWh |
| Cycle Life (0.5C, 80% DoD) | Up to 12,000 cycles | ~8,000–10,000 cycles |
| Internal Resistance | ~0.3–0.5mΩ | ~0.18mΩ |
| Max Continuous Discharge | 1C (314A) | 1C (314A) |
| Temp Range | –30°C to 60°C | –20°C to 60°C |
| Weight | ~5.5–5.6kg | ~5.6kg |
| Dimensions | 207×175×72mm | Similar |
3. Performance in Real Applications
Cycle Life
Gotion cells are ideal for long-term ESS and off-grid storage. With up to 12,000 cycles, they’re built for 20–30 years of daily use.
EVE cells still perform excellently, with around 8,000–10,000 cycles, and are often used in EV and backup power applications.
⚡ Discharge & Internal Resistance
EVE 314Ah has lower internal resistance, allowing more stable voltage during high current discharge.
Gotion performs well under 0.5C but may need extra thermal management at full 1C load.
Temperature Handling
Gotion cells have a wider temp range, supporting discharge down to –30°C. A better fit for cold climates.
EVE cells handle heat well, maintaining low thermal rise under repeated loads.
4. Real-World Tests & Customer Feedback
Independent tests show:
Gotion’s SoH remains >85% even after 6,000 cycles at 0.5C.
EVE cells show better cell voltage consistency in large packs, making them slightly easier to assemble and balance.
In 200A continuous discharges, EVE cells ran cooler with less voltage sag than Gotion, though both remained within safe limits.
5. Pricing Comparison (2025)
Pricing varies by region and volume, but general trends:
Gotion 314Ah: $250–$300 per cell in EU/US markets
EVE 314Ah: $190–$260 per cell depending on batch and quantity
For large-scale integrators, EVE is more cost-efficient; for ultra-long lifespan needs, Gotion delivers more value over time.
6. Which Should You Choose? Use-Case Recommendations
| Application | Recommended Cell |
| 48V Solar ESS (Daily cycling) | Gotion 314Ah |
| EV or Electric Boat | EVE 314Ah |
| Cold-Weather Remote Area | Gotion |
| Budget-Conscious RV Build | EVE |
| Commercial Grid Storage | Gotion (for longevity) |
7. How Himax Can Help You Choose the Right Cell
As a leading custom battery manufacturer, Himax Battery offers:
Custom battery pack design using EVE or Gotion 314Ah cells
Integrated BMS and housing design
Free sample cells for qualified bulk orders
Technical support from prototype to volume delivery
You can get both EVE and Gotion packs assembled and tested directly from our factory—no middlemen, no BMS integration headache.
8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Are both Gotion and EVE genuine grade-A cells?
✅ Yes. At Himax, we source only grade A cells from verified factory lines and test every cell before assembly.
Q2: Can I mix EVE and Gotion cells in a single pack?
Not recommended. Different IR and voltage curves make it risky. Always use the same brand and batch.
Q3: Which BMS works with 314Ah cells?
A high-quality 4S/8S/16S LiFePO₄ BMS with current ratings over 100A is suitable. Himax provides BMS recommendations for both cell types.
Q4: Are 314Ah cells too large for my DIY setup?
Not necessarily. They’re big—but with proper spacing and terminals, you can easily fit 4 in a 12V pack or 16 in a 48V system.
9. Conclusion: A Win-Win for 2025 Battery Builders
Whether you choose Gotion 314Ah for its unmatched cycle life or EVE 314Ah for better value and performance balance—you’re picking from two of the best LiFePO₄ cells available today.
At Himax Battery, we help clients like you every day—from EV startups to solar installers—design safe, efficient, and durable energy storage solutions using both of these cell platforms.
