    I'd really like to see LiFePO4 car batteries to become mainstream soon. When properly maintained, it nominally lasts 10 years, doesn't need a float charge, and density for density, its size and weight is a fraction of an equivalent lead-acid battery.

    Me too.. konti pa lang kasi options... its like the lithium poly sa rc cars.. ang lakas compared sa NiMH.. tapos mas lighter pa..

    They're currently in the $400 range..... from China. Not bad if they'll be as advertised. Been following some Skyactiv LiFePO4 experiments specifying beefed up BMS+temp control & A123 ultraphosphate cells.....It's about time to say g'bye to the heavy, engineered-to-die-quick flooded lead acid.

    Yeah, but that's still hardly mainstream. At best, they're a niche and at worst, we don't know yet how well they do in terms of aftersales support and more importantly, safety. Though on paper at least, LiFePO4 is significantly safer than LiIon or LiPo batteries. Though I'm sure it will still raise some eyebrows as images of exploding phones, laptops, and vape hardware cross their mind.

    I believe once the mainstream car battery brands starts carrying them, costs will be lower. They'll probably sell their lead-acid batteries even lower at a bargain. Consumers win.

    Amaron LiFePO4... that'll be a winning combo.

    Sorry for the OT.

    LiFePO4 batteries has been around for at least 15 years. I'm just wondering why it's not getting more widespread use. Maybe in another 10 years, after masira yung current battery ko? hehe

    i think masyado pang expensive to manufacture for all applications. Probably in the next decade or so possibly na mag mura na iyan like sealed lead acid, when the electric cars become a mainstream.

    i got some A123 26650 lifepo4. they're like "C" cells. 8 cells are enough to start a car. perfect as a jump starter

    but as lead-acid replacement they shouldn't be in the super hot engine compartment

    Best transferred in-cabin or to the boot.

    Lipo. Planning to get the Anker 521 which has LiFePO4 batts.

    Had that setup before with a Lithium-Ion powerbank. Removed it din coz scared that the powerbank might catch fire while the car is unattended. Might try again with a LiFePO4 bank eventually.

    Most dashcams take power from USB so no problems naman even without 12V out. Would be nice to have 12V IN though, so the powerbank can charge faster and not need another cigarette lighter to USB adapter.

    Which one is recommended kaya for Samsung S22? Not really familiar with powerbanks, all I know is that the bank should have type c output as the cable of the Samsung charger is c to c.img_20221101_131936.jpgimg_20221101_131914.jpg

    Look for a power bank that is fast charging capable.. usually green or blue color yung usb port nyan..

    I have the old tronsmart powerbank.. nice fast charging.. can fully charge my s21 2x

    Also get a nice usb to usb c cable.. or a c to c cable.. yung nasa 3.1A rating
