Hi Folks,
I was curious if anyone has used/evaluated the Shorai LiFePO4, Lithium Iron Phosphate LXF35L3-BS12 I bought from Amazon $250 with charger/balancer $67 for my HondaBFP60 boat (1000cc similar to large motorcycle) claims 550 cranking amps, 36ah but only weighs 4 lbs so probably Chinese inflated specs. Looks more like 7-14ah MC battery. It does start the engine with little voltage sag, 11V whereas the lead battery sags to 8V when starting. I'm concerned that it may suddenly die out in the middle of the 80 mile lake here Smith Mountain Lake near Roanoke, VA so keep a spare tractor battery on the boat just incase. I replaced a 40lb lead marine battery to save some weight but curious about the longevity and how LiFePO4 dies, if it's sudden or gives some warning like lead (that gets gradually saggy when starting). Have a renewable energy day, Mark Mark E.
