LifePO4 video
Here is a good new video (19:19) on LFP that should dispute some claims/ myths that get repeated on the internet from non user of LFP. With the CEO of Battleborn who seems like a straight shooter and ...

We all have different needs or wants and certainly some don't mind hauling around lead with the must do charging profile daily or weekly to get the "longevity" from the batteries.
Our particular wants was (1) major weight savings, (2) not being a slave to the battery, (3) live/operate from solar for the majority of the time and not have to run to a power pole or use the generator for long extended periods of time. LFP checked those boxes for our wants.
I thought the video does a well job with simplified answers for easy understanding.
Start of video to 6:30, low temps
@6:30 high temp/ degradation
@8:30 cycling
@9:30 longevity/ charge profile
@11:30 balancing
@12:50 floating
@15:40 storage
@17:40 cold cranking (which in reality doesn't really apply to lfp) terminology.
What they touched on carries over to all of LiFePo4 basically which for some of us that have been using this chemistry for many years in a daily operating system know because we can see it in operation, but some of the new comers don't really understand it because they read somewhere bad information being parroted.
