Default Re: LiFePo4 conversion

In post 3 I mistakenly stated lithium batteries can be discharged to 80% SOC, I meant 80% DOD (or 20% SOC). They can go this low for 2000+ cycles too.

Another benifit to lithium is their ability to hold voltage under load much better then lead acid.

Weight is the main reason people are using lithium more and more. The energy density of lithium for size and weight is great.
