More on LFP Charging
Some "sales" statements here, but also some possibly good info of interest. One thing is they found longest life (most cycles) was to charge at 14.4v but at lower amps at 0.3C. Some LFP owners o...

Itenerate1: “I believe because the industry is still stuck in dead lead thinking and why not the vast majority of rvs still believe in killing the lead batteries and go buy cheap replacements. Nothing wrong with that because it fits their needs and wallet.”
Well said, and similar to trying to talk someone ‘off the edge’, prior FWC based mindset (a gas gauge like approach) can often be difficult to overcome if not even a mental hindrance when comparing to LFP’s ‘bladder-like’ *characteristics - a rigid mindset that may not serve some FWC users well (reams of past post will easily attest to this….).
***********
* meaning, a relatively flat, stable voltage plateau, uber deep DOD, a FULL daily charge is not a routine objective (unlike FWC, something best avoided except for occasional re-balancing), single stage charging is ideal (tolerant to a relatively wide breadth of charge voltages (upper 13’s not to exceed 14.6v), tolerant towards infrequent charging cycles (a near grid-like experience…), efficient harvest receptivity to better exploit peak harvest hours…
