The invention relates to a method for preparing an anhydrous lithium tetrafluoroborate which comprises the following steps: a lithium source including lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and the like, reacts with fluorine hydride and boric acid to obtain lithium tetrafluoroborate solution, then the lithium tetrafluoroborate solution is condensed, crystallized and recrystallized, ground, and vacuum dried to obtain the anhydrous lithium tetrafluoroborate. The method of the invention adopts a staged temperature rise control, the process of the preparation is simple, raw materials are cheap and the preparation cost is low, no organic solvent is used during the synthetic process, no poison is produced, therefore, the method accords with the concept of green environmental protection, the anhydrous lithium tetrafluoroborate prepared by the method is determined by a X-ray diffraction map, the diffraction peak is clear and sharp and completely matches the standard card, which shows that the product prepared by the method of the invention is anhydrous LiBF4 with complete crystal form, the quality of the product is equal to the quality of the anhydrous lithium tetrafluoroborate prepared by the reaction of lithium fluoride and boron trifluoride.
