LFP is faster in all conditions. Not even close enough that you would need to time it. There is no "fair fight" as LFP is whole different class.


Here is a 'fair' fight.

Cycle the LFP at 10% - 90% and the FLA at 50% - 90%. Do this until the FLA dies. Install the LFP as a replacement for the dead FLA and continue on your merry way.

The LFP features I am looking forward to:

1. the practically unlimited cycles without any full charges,
2. replacing 400lbs of AGM with 100lbs of LFP.
