The invention relates to a low-temperature 
electrolyte of a 
lithium iron phosphate battery. The low-temperature 
electrolyte includes the following solvents of, by volume, 30%-45% of carbonic ester 
solvent, 50%-65% of 
carboxylic ester solvent and 4%-10% of additive. The solvents contain solute 
lithium, the 
lithium is LiPF6 or a combination of the LiPF6 and LiBF4, and the concentration of the lithium is 0.8-1.4mol / L. The low-temperature 
electrolyte is a nonaqueous electrolyte, through optimization of kinds and proportioning combination of the solvents of the electrolyte, low-
viscosity carbonic ester and low-melting-point 
carboxylic ester are selected and used, the 
freezing point at low temperature is lowered, and low-temperature 
conductivity is increased. According to the low-temperature electrolyte, the lithium of the electrolyte is optimized, the low-temperature additive is selected preferably, normal-temperature circulation ratio performance of the electrolyte is maintained, and meanwhile, the low-temperature capacity 
retention ratio of the 
lithium iron phosphate battery and the ratio performance of the 
lithium iron phosphate battery are improved. The commercial application requirements of the electrolyte can be met, the low-temperature performance of the electrolyte is improved particularly, and therefore the electrolyte is suitable for 
aerospace and 
plateau alpine environment.
