Not to beat a dead horse but I was curious how my new Lifepo4 120ah stacked up against my new last year Motobat 90ah for boondocking and less generator time..I finally got my Lifepo4 charger and was only down 50 amp hours but that is over what my 90 ah battery would be brought down to and I wanted a proper sync..
Charging the lead acid on the generator never did get if full running for 3 hours which is my sweat spot for gen use..I put 50 amp hours into the Lifepo4 today in about 2.5 hours to 100%/14.42V with a 20 amp charger..
It didn't start to taper until 98-99%
I let it run until the charger turned green then stopped charging..
So in answer to the question is a Lifepo4 better than a lead acid for my type of camping,the answer is yes..Agreed my use of a Lifepo4 is different than most but if I had a larger RV with two batteries instead of one,I would change them out to Lifepo4 if I had the money..I am not dumping on lead acid as my Motobat is a very good battery that made coffee(50+ amps) several times of an ancient 1200 watt inverter..
With the price getting so low for Lifepo4,I can't see a reason not to switch when there about the price of a quality lead acid...JMHO
