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!

LiFePo4 can be made to work well. Any battery bank can do that, but for LiFePo4, there are lots of extra hoops to jump through. Such as a way to limit charging from an alternator, a truly compatible converter. There are also high temperature concerns, starting at 86 f and possible low temperature "cut off" depending on the design parameters of the battery management system.
With SiO2 there are few of the above concerns.
Li prices are dropping madly. I would speculate that the DIY crowd are already almost at the point of parity in initial cost for the same number of usable amp-hours in lead acid. I did see an LiFePo4 "roll your own" for $480 using cells with cosmetic blemishes. (Grade B)
