8. FAQ: Professional Question & Answer Section
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
Q1: What is the main difference between LiFePO4 and VRLA batteries for intelligent energy management systems?
A1: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) offers 2–3x higher cycle life (>10,000 cycles), lighter weight, and stronger thermal stability. VRLA (Valve-Regulated Lead Acid) is cheaper initially but prone to sulfation and faster degradation. For modern home energy storage systems and smart grids, LiFePO4 is the recommended standard.
