I think the energy advantage has to do with the high discharge rate of LFPs but not clear on that.
IMO a good case for LFPs can be made for some scenarios without all the silly stuff.
Hi,
I am going guess they chose the "high amp" discharge rate of 80 amps, quite carefully, as a "sweet spot" for the LiFePo4.
Let's see what happens when 2 LiFePo4 have 185 amps drawn from them to power a microwave? Oh...but they didn't bother to test the Li--only the AGM's. (or did I miss that part???) Could that be a bit of an oversight? Or was it deliberate? Being a doubting Thomas I vote for "the man behind the curtain".

There is no doubt that Li are coming and yes, an excellent case can be made for them. But I'll never ever have ANY large capacity secondary battery in my living quarters.
