LiFePe battery

I was an early adapter which didn't go so well. Started with Shorai where the early units didn't have built in BMS (Battery Mgt System). Later ones did, which was huge to their longevity. They are way lighter BUT plan on putting them on a charge specific, or configurable, for this specific battery tech. Occasionally (maybe once a month) put that charger on no matter how good the battery is working. IF you don't, you risk developing a cell with lower charge memory and then one day it's won't work, that quick. I use AGMs now because it's simpler and charges best in older car charging systems but if you really want it, charge using the battery's BMS system as it charges all the cells individually to prevent a low cell memory...just what I've done and think...
