Hello,
my 2x 12V deepcycle batteries in my RV are just about to die. I got a 5500w Onan generator, which starts from those batteries.
The Amperetime and CHINS 100AH have those ratings:
Maximum Continuous Charging Current: 100A
Maximum Continuous Discharging Current: 100A
Maximum Permanent Discharging Current: 280A 5Sec.
My cheap clamp on amp meter doesn't give me a good amp reading when the generator starts, Shows like 3 amps, lol.
It starts pretty quickly.
Anyone tried to start a generator with a LFP battery? Amperetime / CHINS 12V 100AH ?
What can happen worst case? BMS shuts the battery down?
