LiFePO4 batteries, an excellent article on converting from lead-acid

[RF_Burns]

Hi All,
Not sure where I found the link to this article so I apologize if someone has already posted it here.

This is an excellent article about changing from Lead-Acid House batteries to LiFePO4. It's written for the boating community, but the principles are
the same for us. It delves deep into charging considerations and the issues with using a common lead-acid charger (converter). Also what a "drop-in"
LiFePO4 battery really means.

Lots of good info on the differences in usable charge between the two types.

Its a couple hour read, so maybe make a pot of coffee first.
