LiFePo4 vs Lead Acid...Some points of interest.

When evaluating the two different battery types (i.e. Lead acid vs LiFePo4), I found this ‘to the point’ summary to be both informed and helpful... https://www.power-sonic.com/blog/lithium-vs-lead-...

" Stage 1 of the SLA chart above takes four hours to complete. The Stage 1 of a lithium battery can take as little as one hour to complete,
making a lithium battery available for use four times faster than SLA"

FWC, it is just the Bulk Stage they are talking about here. Your explanation is as I mentioned under the "usually " part.

In the quote above, they say it "Can Take" (by using 1C vs .25C ?), but the graphs use .4C vs .25C and the graphs show one hour vs four hours.

How can that be?
