There's some evidence that LFP will develop memory and lose capacity if rarely fully charged, but my impression is that if fully charged and absorbed for 30 minutes that can be rectified. Other than...

There is no particular reason why LiFePO4 batteries cannot be used as a starter battery. What does the starter care where the required amps and voltage comes from?
