Selecting A Battery For Application
Choosing the appropriate LiFePO4 battery for any application, whether the application is based on current draw or power draw, is easier with a LiFePO4 battery than with a sealed lead acid (SLA) battery. The capacity of a lithium battery,  as illustrated by Figure 1, is substantially independent of the discharge current. Thus, the selection of the lithium battery is simply the discharge current requirement multiplied by the time over which the discharge current is required. For  instance, if a 10A draw is required for 2 hours or a 5A draw is required for 4 hours, a 20Ah lithium battery is appropriate for the application.
The second aspect of a lithium battery that makes it easier to size for an application is that the cutoff voltage (as displayed in Figure 2) is 10V, independent of discharge rate. Whereas with an SLA battery, the voltage changes with discharge rate. The cut-off voltage of a lithium battery is also controlled via the protection circuit. It is good practice to set the cutoff voltage to be slightly higher than the recommended cut-off voltage. This will keep the battery from shutting down due to protection.
Selection of LiFePO4 Based on Power Draw
Choosing the appropriate lithium battery based on power draw is also easier than with an SLA battery. The voltage drop during discharge for a lithium battery is essentially constant, as shown in Figure 2. The constant voltage drop leads  to a constant power through discharge, as power is voltage times current draw. As with capacity, power draw is a simple calculation for the selection of the battery.

For instance, a voltage of a lithium battery can be assumed to be a constant 12.8 V during discharge, hence if 256 Whr are require for the application to be delivered for a 2 to 4 hour discharge a 10 Ah battery can be used (e.g 12.8 V x 5 Ah  x 4 Hr = 256 Whr and 12.8V x 10 Ah x 4 Hr = 256 Whr) to deliver constant power.

Environmental Factors

Impact of Ambient Temperature on Capacity
The impact of ambient temperature on capacity is shown in Figure 3. In general, increasing temperature increases the capacity of a LiFePO4 battery. The effect is shown in the Discharge Specifications table. Discharging the battery below -10°C is not recommended. Depending on application, the self- heating of the battery may counteract the effects of the low temperature and extended the ambient temperature range over which the battery will discharge.
Cycle Life (Including the Effects of Ambient Temperature)
Cycle life in Figure 3 is to 100% Depth of Discharge (DoD) at 25°C, 45°C and 55°C. The cycle life at other DoD can be approximated by the ratio of the DoD to 100%, for example a 50% DoD at 25°C would result in 2000 cycles based on Figure 3. For temperatures other than those shown on the graph, an interpolation can be done at that temperature.
For temperatures below 25°C, the cycle life at 25°C can be used. When compared to an SLA battery at 25°C, a LiFePO4 battery’s cycle life is ten times longer. Even at elevated temperatures, the LiFePO4’s cycle life is still longer than an  SLA’s when at room temperature, as demonstrated in Figure 3. Therefore, in replacing an SLA with LiFePO4, the LiFePO4 will always have a longer cycle life.
Charging
The lithium battery follows a similar charge profile as an SLA battery. It starts with constant current (CC) followed by constant voltage (CV). The standard LiFePO4 profile is 0.2C CC charge to 14.6V, the a CV at 14.6V charge until the charge current declines to <=0.05C. A fast charge current of 1C may be used as necessary. Note that continual fast charging may shorten the battery life and therefore capacity. Any charger with a lithium setting is suitable. However, when  using an SLA charger the protocols used for charge initialization and maintenance must be considered.
The biggest difference between LiFePO4 and SLA is the way the battery responds upon initial charging when over-discharged and the preferred maintenance when fully charged. Using an SLA charger with a de-sulfica- tion setting will damage the battery, and chargers with an OCV detection setting may fail to wake up an over-discharged battery. After the end-of- charge, it is not necessary to keep the LiFePO4 battery on a float charge, but may be maintained with a  topping charge if the voltage drops. If a charger has a float setting, it will not damage the LiFePO4 battery.
