[QUOTE="WTM, post: 5636971, member: 6230"] theyre fine with a little better warranty than most lead acids. where people screw up thinking its a defective battery, is in the discharge and storage state of charge. never store an FLA, SLA or AGM below 12.4v or discharge an SLA, FLA below 12.2v or an AGM below 11.95v. this is around the 50% depth of discharge, get below that and youll kill them. bluetooth shunted capacity and voltage display meters are so cheap now it doesnt make sense not to have one. the same principle applies to LFP batteries. keep them in a 10-90% DOD window. run them until the BMS shuts down from undervoltage or overvoltage and youll kill the lifetime cycles. the battery brand that [USER=18913]@Hduke86[/USER] mentioned is actually a well built battery, as are chins and power queen which are the exact same batteries(the components are identical). kind of weird but if you have an ampere time that fails, Li time will still honor the warranty. the only failures ive heard about are when people try to use them as a starting battery. which brings up my next point and kind of a warning. LFP's are great for deep cycle use in trolling motors and electronics, a little too great. just keep in mind the recommendations from Minn Kota, new port, etc. about using them especially on the 24 and 36v systems using the PWM and brushed motors designed for lead acid systems and in some mfd's. no worries with the new brushless motor designs. good luck [/QUOTE]
