Hi, am interested to know where FLA lasts 10 years, but yeah, a forklift?
No, House batteries, non propulsion use cases, as I stated where average loads are very low C-rate, peaks of maybe 0.6C, usually well under 0.1C
Avg DoD% kept 40-60%, shallower the better, only deeper in occasional emergency situations.
Charging might be solar, or alternator while traveling, wind or a genset while off grid, rarely over 0.4C rate.
But very reliably getting to 100% Full, as per endAmps spec, at least a few times per week if not every cycle.
Properly broken in and well maintained, preventing any "unexpected events".
I've seen a few hit 15-17 year lifespans even cycled daily, but by then getting below the usual 70% SoH EoL point.
Of course excellent quality FLA to start with, much higher priced than 6V golf car style, but "only" 8-10 years on those.
Certainly not 12V, certainly not automotive channels nor form factors, not Wally's or Costco stuff.
Such quality FLA lasts much much longer than any AGM, also less fussy about precise care factors
Rolls / Surrette being a leading example, big 2V cells if the bank gets big enough.
