I'm reading many comments under my video where viewers state they only want to use their battery between 2080% to prolong its life and reduce degradation. This widespread 'myth' may work well for Liion batteries but not for LiFePO4 cells. I explain and show you why it is (almost) impossible to use this SOC window with LFP batteries.

This is a bit of an introduction video about how far to charge and discharge LiFePO4. It is in preparation for a hole series of future videos about settings in solar charge controllers, inverters, BMSes and shunts.

As always, please leave your comments, explanations and additions below, so we can all learn and share our knowledge. Thank you if you have already.
