Post Subject: LiFePo is the key to this working very welllPosted by rickmcinnis on: 9/20/2022
Got the "proper" batteries installed.

Left them on the charger about an hour - voltage read 13.3 out of the box and never changed with an hour of charging.

This morning after an evening of charging they read 13.4.  The AGM wouild read 13.5 fully charged so maybe these take ahilw to fill up to the brim.

Starting off last night at 13.3 after two and one-half hours they read 12.6 volts.  The AGM would have been in the 11.6 range at that point in time. If not lower - I did not record the voltage.

So it seems that five hours of listening time is likely.  I do not listen for that length of time very often so it will be awhile before I can verify that.

The sound might be more dynamic with the LiFePo since the music sounded louder with these batteries.  I started with the same piece of music I finished off with the night before with no changes in volume.  In fact it seemed too loud so I reduced the level two dB.  So either there is more dynamic range due to these batteries or they are adding an obnoxious sound to the music that makes one want to turn the volume down.  I hope the latter is not the case but only more listening will answer that question.
