Which is dumb, because the "saltwater" batteries have manganese cathode and titanium phosphate anode... doesn't sound radically different than lithium iron phos

- cfn 5y agoThere were a number of fires in boats at the beginning of using lithium batteries that put off many people from using them.
- throw0101a 5y agoBecause "lithium" means a whole category of things. See this mega-thread that was started in 2011 when people will still feeling things out: * https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f166/lifepo4-batteries-discussion-thread-for-those-using-them-as-house-banks-65069.html https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f166/lifepo4-batteries-... The chemistry of LiFePO4 was settled on (versus something that used cobalt, à la Boeing's 787), and the risk of fires has been reduced considerably. You're more likely to have a boat fire from bad DIY electrical cabling and a lack of fusing.
