I have no dog in this discussion. Just passing the info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy3hga_P5YY Interesting!

What about hot weather testing? Damage on LiFePo4 starts at 86 f, and they should not be charged when the temperature is 113 f.
Lead acid batteries don't like prolong high temps either. Definitely shortens their life.
True, however lead acid can be used at 140 f and charged at 120 f--that's a far cry from 86 to 113 f for LiFePo4. There is no question that higher temperatures reduce lifespan.
However, does the BMS for the LiFePo4 shut down charging at 113 f?
