Re: Considering LiFePO4 battery upgrade for 2015 T@B, would appreciate reality check
Agreed. If anything, I have the opposing concern: with rooftop solar I need to make sure that the batteries are not fully charged in between trips. That's bad for their service life too. I try t…2 -
Re: T@B 320S Isolation Valves
FYI: According to this chart a 50/50 propylene glycol mix freezes at -28F/-33C. The engineer in me suggests that you can stretch your dollars by thinning it a bit. For example, a 30% glycol & wa…1 -
Re: Considering LiFePO4 battery upgrade for 2015 T@B, would appreciate reality check
@glesieutre: I second pthomas745's recommendations. Switching to a pair of 100Ah LFP batteries have been great for us - and we have the 12v fridge and a inverter for an electric kettle. I'v…1 -
Re: Batteries not charging much in full sun
The 14.2V of Victron’s LiFePO4 preset is perhaps a bit low for your batteries, or, in fact, quickest charging of many brands. It will probably just take a little more time, no biggie. The specificat…1 -
Re: Battery charge differs between solar controller and BMS - Why?
The bolded text misinterprets the solar charger’s voltage during active charging. It’s only the resting voltage which can show you the S.O.C. While charging — pushing current into the battery— the S…2
