Jeff,
I'd like to hear/see the advantages as well. I've been using a
batteryspace.com battery for the past
4 years now on many SOTA activations, a handful of NPOTA activations,
and just all around
out in the field operating. I have two 10W roll up solar panels fed
into the buddipole charge controller
and seems to work. I also just picked up Bioenno's 12V 6ah LiFePO4
battery to accompany this
set up. I'll be up in Glacier Nat'l Park later this week for some
NPOTA fun!
David: What caveats? If you don't mind sharing off list?
Thanks.

My goal was extended, off-grid, portable capability with LiFePO4 and solar
charging. I believe I have achieved this with the Bioenno 4.5 Ah battery,
PowerFilm R28 rollable solar panel and Genasun GV-5 solar charge
controller. (This combination works, but there are some caveats that I
won't get into now.)
Jeff, for my education would you please explain the advantages of using a
balancing charger with a non-self-balancing battery over using a
non-balancing, LiFePO4-compatible charger with a self-balancing battery?
