the problem for emergency usage is that you are supposed to store these at between 30%-60% charge or you will damage the battery. This is obviously not ideal if you need 100% charge for an outage. LiFePO4 allows storage at 100% which means it'll always be topped off when you need it for an outage. These units are best-suited for camping or other times when you know you will use it immediately after charging to ~100%.

I used to be in the LiFePO4 gang... But unless your specific use case requires continuous charging/depleting cycles, for example if you're utilizing this as your home's main power system, the difference between lithium and LiFePO4 may never be an issue for you. If we're talking about 500 vs 2500 charge cycles, and you're only using it for emergency or camping purposes, 500 charge cycles could be a decade before you're at 80% capacity. However, LiFePO4 has other benefits such as being able to handle higher temperatures better.. just something to keep in mind!

Not at Costco. I like the delta mini. It's got a big punch, but can't go three rounds. This inverter size just doesn't cut it for me.

Great deal on the River Pro + battery or River Pro by itself. Best price per Wh I've seen on it. Not as good as a deal on the Delta and the solar panels always seem over priced to me.

Well said. I just want something for my house that is quiet and we can do minimum things with if the power goes out.

If I took it to a job site to work my tools then I would be more like for LiFePO4 models.

Good thing this goes on sale every week or so. Now I don't need to get in a hurry to buy it because this is becoming the normal price.

LifePo4 batteries are also much safer than Li-Ion batteries, which tend over-heat and catch on fire or explode if damaged. Search it on YouTube.

Storing Li-ion at 100% only shortens it's charge life, to about 500 cycles, otherwise you can get longer cycles by storing at around 50%, but like previous poster said, 500 cycles for emergency use is still many years.

THIS is the main reason for me.

They are safer.

Reading a large chunk of the reviews on Costco's product page tells me that I should be prepared to do a warehouse return due to issues with connectivity (extra battery).
