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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRugged\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA lead-acid battery will fail prematurely due to sulfation:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf it is left partially charged or worse, fully discharged (yacht or mobile home during wintertime).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA LFP battery does not need to be fully charged.
