Yet, the presenter overlooked as well that LFP’s are far better suited at exploiting critical solar peak harvest hours…However (unless I misunderstood…), I don’t get the presenter’s assessment on the built-in heater option which in my mind ought to only kick in when there’s a concurrent charging source, especially since even non-heated LFP’s will continue to discharge down to about -4 f…
I sensed too that he may have had a ‘post-results’ bias, though I also believe his testing and findings are realistic, and from my perspective mostly a reflection of the real-world - JMHO
