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...

All LFPs are Lithium-ion, but not all Lithium-ions are LFP.
Wiki article says of "Lithium-ions" that:
" At temperatures from 0 to 5 °C charging is possible, but the charge current should be reduced"
using the same 41F marker that Trillium does.
The questions:
1. Does that apply to all Lithium-ions including LFPs?
2. Is a Trillium an LFP?
Besides all that, worth noting that Lithium-ion development is still on-going with possible associated cost reductions in making them, which should lower their future retail prices if successful.
Is a trillium an lfp? Yes and no
No, because its a flower (lily family)
Yes, because thats the pretty name Trojan marketing decided to call it and in thier data sheet it specifically says "Deep-Cycle Lithium Iron Phosphate" where as on the shell of the dropin it only say "Li-Ion". Marketing had to add deep cycle to the data because you wouldn't want mistakenly purchase the shallow cycling lfp battery.
With Trojans they do not state what the lithium is doped with or what brand of cells are used, the secret in the plastic box.I did find this brief video. https://m.facebook.com/TrojanBatteryCompany/videos/trillium-high-pecision-cell-welding/2270245349713746/
A few posts ago I mentioned warranty claims, if you didn't notice in the data sheet this..."Data Logging, Total Lifetime Amp Hours, Recent Faults" you don't believe this is for the end user convenience and not for warranty issues.
