Basics of Lithium conversion... I'm lost!
I did a search and it's mostly Greek... to me. I'd like to know the key points for, hopefully, a straight across lead/acid to lithium conversion. My old Flow-Rite watering system just overflowed 2 c...

seams Pianotuna keeps mising the fact that while his batteries will work at -40, they only have 40% of there original capacity, but he doesnt own any so he wouldnt know.
so if you want to do 800 AH of availble capacity you will need 18? 100 amp hour Sio2 batteries, do you have the space to store that? for LiFePo4 all I need is three 6" x 8" x 11" 280 AH batteries to have 840AH of usable capacity available, plus because of the smaller size and such it is condusive to tuck into a heated area so I don't have to worry about any capacity loss due to temprature. a lot of people seam to think it is some magic but they are simple to use and charge.
as for the plane in the millitary or comercial, the reason is largly based of previous versions of Li that were prone to thermal runaway and could cause fires, not because of the capacity or anything else. LFP is not suseptable to that as perviouse versions like nickel hydride and other varients.
I notice every day that people who have never used LFP keep posting scare tactics to try prove that SiO2 is better even though they have no experiacnce with it and are going off sales sheets.... but oh well..
