Lithium Battery 12VDC 200Ah Smart LiFePO4Lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4 or LFP) is the safest of the mainstream li-ion battery types. The nominal voltage of an LFP cell is 3,2V (lead-acid: 2V/cell). A 12,8V LFP battery, therefore, consists of 4 cells connected in series; and a 25,6V battery consists of 8 cells connected in series.Lithium Batteries require additional components during installation to make the system operate properly. These should be professionally installed to help avoid costly non-warranty failures.RuggedA lead-acid battery will fail prematurely due to sulfation: If it operates in deficit mode for long periods of time (i.e. if the battery is rarely, or never at all, fully charged). If it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime). An LFP battery does not need to be fully charged. Service life even slightly improves in case of a partial charge instead of a full charge. This is a major advantage of LFP compared to lea
