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...
Forum Discussion
Though not necessarily of the OP’s original “LFP Charging Performance” question, much of this thread has been devoted to pontifications about the perceived benefits of one battery technology over another (SiO2 vs LFP), merits which have been mostly centered around a limited criteria of an unheated battery box (or with no heated battery blanket) while in below freezing weather...
In the context of what (from my view...) is ‘mostly’ this one specific constraint, I believe SiO2 is a overwhelming alternative (AFAIK) to nearly all other battery types...
However, in the interest of objectivity (and to a less extreme weather criteria audience), I’ve also listed (on pg 8 of this thread) my own admittedly subjective opinion (due to geo-region) regarding my consideration of SiO2 batteries (Note that I have a heated interior battery compartment).
A conscious effort seems to have been made here (including my own real world experience) to provide some clarity regarding LFP’s, so it would seem that most of the aspects of LiFePo4 types (whether attributes or disadvantages, whether actual or even perceived...) have mostly been discussed. Consensus is not always possible, but at this lengthy juncture, hopefully a cogent case has now been made for either battery type....
