but it would be remiss to not mention the cycle life, which is like 300 for a leaf cell, vs 2000 for a calb cell, so you will be replacing leaf cells 7x as often. Plus more temperature sensitivity in the leaf cells. The lifepo4 really are a lot more bullet proof and well supported in charging/monitoring, and that is all good news for diy'ers.
