LiFePO4 - SOK or Renogy.
Not looking for a big bank or high charge/discharge currents. Don't need charging below freezing. In Canada things become difficult/expensive. Narrowed down to these 2: 1)SOK, 100AH, $CAD 975 ...

Almot, if you don't need the high discharge amp advantage, then what advantage(s) over FLA or AGM, does LFP have that you are willing to pay all that extra money for?
The advantage in this particular application is being able to charge partially without worries, and pull in all the amps that a very small solar will output since there is no tapering in the last 20% of LFP.
Also, much higher energy density than FLA - charging possibility could be limited by weather and terrain. With Lynaclithium they're marketing 120AH as 100AH, so it's "safe" 100% DOD.
Also, low weight - it will be moved from time to time. 24 lbs is so much better than 67 lbs. I would rather let the battery outlive me than outlive the battery and get another hernia or ruptured spinal disc.
