LifePo4 Charge Performance
Thinking seriously about replacing our two GC2's with a pair of 100ah LifePo4's. Hearing a lot of chatter about how lithiums accept a charge much quicker than lead cells. Very familiar with how ou...

".Yet, due to Li’s uber low internal charge resistance, even a modest amount of solar harvest is fully optimized."
Please explain in terms of AH and time what that amount of solar harvest would be with a pair of 6s compared with a pair of LFPs and what "fully optimized" means compared with "not fully optimized".
It means (minus any word parsing) that Li recharges faster than FWC whether via charger or solar...I understand that some FWC acolytes may not appreciate this, thus claims to such can be easily dismissed... I make no claims as to possessing any independent third party back-to-back Lab data, so one is quite free to disavow my stated experiences as they choose... Either way, the degree as to how much faster might depend on each individual user (equip, harvest etc), but low internal resistance is an actual characteristic of Li, and as a former two GC battery user (having made a direct GC to Li swap) the harvest recovery rate is substantial - In my view, this aspect is worth communicating to RV nets broader audience...
