Itinerant 1,
Living off grid with Li makes you someone to listen to, and certainly "trumps" any online only articles.
I believe Li are the cat's meow except in cold.
My choice, for now, remains SiO2. But first I have to destroy the telcom jars that are still meeting more than my needs. Since I managed 9 years with Marine jars, and I'm no longer full time, this may take a few years.
Perhaps by then, the cold issue will be resolved in an economic fashion.
BTW my latest cell phone (yes, I know it is not LiFePo4) has a setting to stop charging at 85%. The stated purpose is to extend the cycle life.
