Jay, Great work and having it well documented is very valuable. I am at the end of life for my truck's 144V pack of 12V cart batteries and was not planning on doing lead again. Using new CALB cells is more money than I want to put into a conversion considering the options for used factory

some ev scooter manufactores are selling 72V33AH SAMSUNG 22P SDI lithium battery. http://www.samsungsdi.com/lithium-ion-battery/e-scooter The capacity of lead-acid batteries is about 50% of the initial capacity after 1.5 years of use (about 400 cycles), but that of Li-ion batteries is about 75%

I doubt you can make a valid comparison. All LFP are not created equal, all life tests are not created equal, all management systems are not equal. You probably can't get good answers about the test conditions no matter how hard you try. It is true that you can draw more capacity from a Li ion
