I'm surprised someone hasn't brought up cylindrical vs prismatic lifepo4 and there differences..Battleborn uses cylindrical..
the major difference is economy of scale and how safty functions work in them. and the method in which you attach them to make a 12V battery. for the average person building a cylindrical isnt easy. anyone who can hook up a mutliple battery system in a rv can build a prosmatic set up. there is a tiny but more energy dencity in the cylindrical but that alo come with higher weight and size for the finnished battey. battery cooling/heating can be done easier with the cylindrical ones also but when you need either of thoes its far and few between, the adverage person who is going to build is never going to constantly charge and discharge at 1C as most will build a 280 or multiple smaller ones and I think would le luckey to see 0.20C in a nirmal rv.
