Always suspecting the sales hype, so want to verify the claims and see if possible where they got their numbers. In this case it is true that 1C with LFP is 4 x faster than with FLA doing depleted to full.
However, you would never do that with an FLA, and not many RVers have 1C worth of chargers and a gen big enough to run them. So it is up to the individual to do the work on that.
Perhaps my post will show some folks how to do the time calculations. Nobody is forcing them to get into the weeds if they do not want to.
Anybody can do the calculations to see how much gen time they would save and decide if going to LFP would be worth the cost and bother is one example.
Solar is hard to evaluate since the charging rates are low and the sky is so variable each day. Do you need faster charging if you already get to full at 2PM most days
One other example was where they were running down a battery and swapping it out for a full one. Faster charging meant they could get the one being recharged back on line sooner.
A WW2 submarine would love that so it could dive back down sooner.
Seems to me an LFP buyer would want to do some math. I do not have a message or an agenda. I thought showing some calculations would help others do theirs is all.
