They are more expensive than lead but the big difference is out of a 10ah lead battery you get roughly 4-5ah of use able power before the voltage drops too low but with a LifePo4 10ah battery you get roughly 8ah of use without voltage drop! So you get almost double the use able life and depending on the battery you can jump start your car with it. I have a 100ah LifePo4 that I plan on using on a trolling motor setup whenever I get around to setting it up.
