Hi Weeksey
Sorry, not checked CF for a long time. I lost my LiFePo, which is due to me buying used ones and having one cell set discharging by just sitting. We leave our boat for 8 months unattended in the Bahamas. I had kept the solar on, hoping that it would keep the bad cell set at a decent voltage, but when I arrived the bad set was at less than 2 volts, which mean the good ones were at 4+ volts. So I had 8 balloons. Managed a set out of these to transfer the boat 200+ miles to Florida. Had to go Trojan, as not able to get LiFePo quickly. Hate the lead batteries. Very inefficient in charging.
The only thing I would add to the LFP batteries (and I had bought those to install this season, but too late) are the cell balancing boards from House BMS. Get the ones with the lowest balancing voltage. Good that you have LIPO experience form RC aircraft. I used to fly F3J in the World Championships some time ago.
