Are LiFePO4 batteries good for off-grid living?
From the perspective of cycle life and economy, lifepo4 batteries have a lifespan of 5,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (lead-acid batteries only 300 cycles). Calculated on one charge and discharge per day per day, they can give 13.7 years of off-grid service (lead-acid batteries need to be replaced annually). Assume a 10 kWh …
