LiFePO4 Batteries
There's also a broad and increasing base of users of Powerpoles, including RC and Ham Radio. So, you're likely to have access to tools and supplies in a pinch (like going to a contest and forgetting your charger or batteries and having to rig up a replacement on the fly - hypothetically of course)..

I still like my AF connectors though. Cheers, Craig |

Exactly what useful benefit does the buyer get over a powerpole for a tenth the price? GC |

LiFePO4 Batteries
Quick question: Does anyone know how LiFEPO4 cells work in conjunction with glider-mounted solar panels (in my case, a Strobl system on a Schleicher from the late 2000's)?
Thanks, --Noel |

The Strobl system will work, but not give a 100% charge.

It looks like there are dedicated solar charger controllers for LiFePo4 batteries like this one from Bioenno Power:
