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...

OP you keep changing the story, so hard to advise. If you are happy with the 80AH you get now doing 50-90s, then you can get the same shorter time as with LFPs just by doing 40-80s instead, with what you have now. Constant 45 amps and no tapering by avoiding the 80-90 part. Same 1.8 hours for 80 AH (not 88AH?)
If you need more than the 80AH for camping, you can get say 115 by doing 40-90s now as I previously explained. You could get 135AH in three hours with LFP too, but do you really need an extra 20AH when it costs $1,500 doing it that way? Goodness!
You could just take along an extra 80 AH 12v Rv battery and use its 40AH "useable" to make up the difference, for $100? Or can you get any solar where you are camping?
No info on your rig, camping scenarios, etc as to what your options are.
The way you keep warping the math to make LFPs the answer, I suspect you just want LFPs no matter what. So just do it and get it over with, or it will be like a toothache until you finally see a dentist! :)
Or else we need a good look at the whole situation with rig and camping scenarios to see what your options are that you are working with.
