Re: Use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in place of Lead Acid for FRC r

We are using a LiFePO4 battery on our tee shirt cannon. It is twice the amp hour rating of a FRC battery, but we get about 3 times the run time with it. The robot has a big compressor by FRC terms and a 4 cim drive which probably puts it mid field in FRC terms for power demand. The battery was custom made by one of our sponsors and I don't know the internal details. We have yet to catch it on fire
