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!

When I went fulltime rving back in 2016 and the majority of the time I know we would want to boondock as much as possible. I did enough homework that I know that we didn't want to be a slave to the batteries and that 800ah worth of lead would of been ball park for the wants/ buffer for our daily use and be extremely heavy.
LFP wasn't as established with information as it is now but figured we would give it a try and see if the hype was as good as it was claimed to be. Our 500ah lfp battery pack weighing in at 143# for 6.4kWh or 5.12kWh usable. Now add in the rest of the system (solar panels, inverter/ charger, SCC, sub panel and all wiring) brought the total weight to 500# and as we all know weight is everything in a trailer and even more as a fulltimer with no stick and brick to run back to.
I'm curious and this goes to BLF13 question to 3 tons.
Here is a normal day during late spring, summer, early fall of our use of switching the fridge over to electric and other normal everyday items being used.
If everything was the same system wise except for the batteries. 500ah lfp & 800 lead would you have the same life from the batteries. Right now I'm at 1,600+ cycles of 35-40% DODs and still using the microwave, coffee pot at 30% SOC (70% DOD) not getting back to full charge for 30 or so days at time during the winter months when solar can finally do it. As of today we have boondocked 1,609 of 1,773.
Would you be able to do the exact same thing with a lead bank as far as shown in the daily recordings and still get back to full daily and get the longevity from them?
