LFP has much higher energy density (100 Wh/kg) than lead acid (30 Wh/kg). The lower weight and size is big advantage of LFP.
LFP also can be fully discharged while lead acid can only safely go to 50% which means more battery for same capacity. LFP is limited to 80% charging to preserve lifespan but still comes out ahead.
- tomek_ycomb 3y agoPoster said power density, and I don't really believe theyre' right (see:a123 batteries, and now there are plenty of competitors) However that's different than you're saying, which is about energy capacity. I believe they are mistaken because many lfp replacement batteries have BMS units that are usually the limiter. But you can also buy lfp starter batteries
