7500 cycles... a lifetime of recharges. Could this, being sufficiently large enough of a bank, be the future of RV batteries? They only produce half the voltage of Lithium-ion, surely that's a minor detail when it comes electric circuitry, just wire them in series and parallel as appropriate to get the necessary voltage and amps. Techies chime in...
Battery tech advances appear to be making life on the road more comfortable very quickly in relative terms.

Still a few years off, but it is the right directions.

Probably many many years off.. but, if we're still RVing by then, we'll be looking at them when our LFPs wear out. :)

Recharge rate is less important than energy density for an RVer, and this one has a much lower energy density than LFPs.
Just saw this post on Reuters
