My point was that heat is not just an LFP fussy thing to deal with. All batteries have a shorter life in the heat.
Fair enough
I agree. Both types have their own needs.
Lots of goon info in that link of PT's.
Mounted inside the coach, the LFPs would be right at home. And would pay for themselves... for me in maybe 20 years.
Yet the tech for the built-in BMS appears to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to longevity.
The GC2s will struggle to deliver in the cold... and require some maintenance, but are cheaper per watt and are proven tech... especially when one has the know-how to care for them.
It seems they're best suited for the heavy users and full timers... who will be able to utilize all of those available cycles before the BMS croaks... maybe.
