LifePO4 batteries
Figured I'd repost this, start over and maybe the same 4 or so guys that hijacked it would be tired out and let others that ARE using LiFePO4 get a word in and discuss it. I see a lot of folks are ...

I could never date Sophia Loren, but that did not stop me from hanging her picture above my alternator test bench. :)
I am interested in learning about the construction, makeup, and control of lithium accumulators. Real world versus reviews and manufacturer's hyperbole should be studied as to it's significance.
I do have a question for owners of lithium
Have you studied how lithium battery manufacturers determine ampere hour capacity? Is it exactly the same formula (from beginning to end) as the formula used on lead acid batteries?
At this point I am going to cheat and not search forever for manufacturer's recommendations for charging...guilty grin...
Instead I'll ask owners what the manufacturer's rules are in regard to connecting -their- lithium bank to their vehicle charging system. Bulk amperage limit, absorbsion voltage limit. Float limit. Comparison of temperature compensation between flooded and lithium. For me this is not the time to critique but to learn.
