With almost 6 years of everyday use and over 1,800 partial cycles of 35-45%+ DOD at various SOC. I do find amusement in what some post about lfp. It seems the new thing now that pops up more is longevity instead of use staying within the parameters of the batteries.
Well, LFP’s are extremely robust…One may choose to incessantly fiddle around to be certain to ‘dial in’ their purported 5,000 cycles, or maybe just enjoy life, overcome the impulse to micromanage and be perfectly content to settle for a mere 4,000 - pick your poison - lol!
Yet, I believe simply by not overcharging (or unnecessarily leaving for extended periods on a charger), and doing an occasional cell re-balancing, it shouldn’t be all too difficult to optimize the batts upper limit longevity - JMO

They are robust for sure.
I did adjust my charge after 2 years going from 14.2v to 14.1v which still allows any balancing if needed. On my Magnum settings 10 minutes is the minimum that absorb can be set to but in reality it's 6 minutes which happens at 99% SOC. I hope everyone that takes the plunge into lfp have as good experience as I have been having. It truly has been a set and forget system.
