For BFL13 et al... FLA vs AGM vs Li vs heated Li
I have no dog in this discussion. Just passing the info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy3hga_P5YY Interesting!

Bend,
Lead acid batteries do not reach their full capacity until they are cycled 25 to 30 times. This makes the whole test invalid from the get go.
The cold weather test was a joke if you live pretty much anywhere in Canada.
I find it hard to believe that they would not use temperature compensated charging with sensors on the batteries.
What about hot weather testing? Damage on LiFePo4 starts at 86 f, and they should not be charged when the temperature is 113 f.
They also did not test what is possibly the best of the lead acid formats which may be SiO2. SiO2 have a much lower Pukert number than most other batteries.
