Hi All,
Not sure where I found the link to this article so I apologize if someone has already posted it here.
This is an excellent article about changing from Lead-Acid House batteries to LiFePO4. It's written for the boating community, but the principles are the same for us. It delves deep into charging considerations and the issues with using a common lead-acid charger (converter). Also what a "drop-in" LiFePO4 battery really means.
Lots of good info on the differences in usable charge between the two types.
Its a couple hour read, so maybe make a pot of coffee first.
