How to move from a load list to a pack specification.
From load to energy to cells
Convert the load to kWh, add autonomy and losses, then divide by usable cell energy.

LiFePO4 questions
Short answers to the ones that come up most.
What makes LiFePO4 different?
Lower energy density than NMC, far better thermal stability and cycle life.
How long does a pack last?
4,000–6,000 cycles at 80% DOD.
Can it be charged in the cold?
Not below 0°C without a heater.
Does it need maintenance?
No watering, no equalising — terminals, ventilation, BMS log.
Is it safe?
The safest lithium chemistry in wide use.
