LFP does have twice the "power" (energy?) as you don't have to stop at 50% like FLA.
That AGM Odyssey says it has "twice the power" and it would have that 50% idea, for any deep cycling it could do?
I have the notion from what I have been told here (but could have got it wrong!) that "power" would be like CCA for a battery, so one with 800 CCA would have twice the power of one with 400 CCA. I think "energy" says how long it can keep doing that cranking.
So I don't know why an RVer would be interested in a battery's power at all. How many AHs it can do, yes. And how many times it can be deep-cycled.
could be because when you buy a RV you get a cheep hybred 80AH battery in it that normaly wont even have 40AH usable as it is a starting battery with thicker plates. so a proper deep cycle could in theory have twice the available "Power" and then if you go LiFePo4 because your not hurting the battery using the full capacity you will have twice the available power again. its all what there comparing to and what words they leve out or add. not lying but letting you form your own conclusions while guiding you in the direction they want. in some paces people get confused by it..
