The nominal voltage of a 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRugged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA lead-acid battery will fail prematurely due to sulfation: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf it operates in deficit mode during long periods of time (i.e. if the battery is rarely, or never at all, fully charged).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA LFP battery does not need to be fully charged.
