Supposedly these are better than lead acid for energy density and
discharge capacity.

Anyone ever had experience with them?

For what it's worth. I used a NiFe cell for a caving lamp for a while.
They were (are?) standard miner's issue.

I was thinking house batteries.

Better than lead acid?

And thanks.

No real experience. I've seen them installed in a sailboat for
house batteries, but wasn't close to them.

I thought the energy density and voltage were lower and
they'll take a lot more abuse, electrical and bashing about,
than lead acid.
