Default LiFePO4 battery

Jacek,

I have a K2 Energy 12V10 battery (http://www.k2battery.com) in my HP-14.

If you search this news group you will see that there was a lengthy thread
on the subject about a month ago.

Hi there,

Does anyone of you have any experience with LiFePO4 batteries in
sailplanes? I need to up my battery capacity, but have very limited
space in my ship. I read about them a bit, but ..... So, here are my
questions: is it worth buying this type of battery (they are quite
pricey), is the size comparable to sealed acid batteries (capacity to
size), any issues related to charging. Your input would be greatly
appreciated.
