LiFePO4 is offering a performance benefit over Lead-Acid (wet/AGM/Gel) batteries in terms of weight and capacity.
Where payload is critical you could make a significant saving by swapping to LiFePO4. It cannot be a direct swap, though, as you’ll need to change your charger: LiFePO4 do not like being ‘floated’ and need a controlled voltage for charging. I imagine that SP controllers may also need to differ.
Does anyone have experience or plans to use them?
