I'm a little confused. . .most LIFEPO4 companies advise not using/storing their batteries where temperatures will exceed 120F as it will degrade the battery's life expectancy. However, in the summer (and probably other times of year), the temperature inside a car (the interior, not the engine...

I'm thinking of building a system for my Land Cruiser to power a 12V fridge, LED light bars, and possibly some other small items. I could mount an auxiliary battery (AGM, not Li) in the engine bay, and run cabling to the rear, but I was thinking of building a "box" for the cargo area that would...

I may have missed it, but has anyone found a quality battery other than Battleborn with low temp cutoff?

My setup will consist of two 100AH Renogy Smart LiFePO4 batteries connected in parallel to give me 200AH at 12V nominal. What are the negative (no pun intended) consequences of connecting my load to the + and - of one battery, as opposed to the + of battery "1", and the - of battery "2"?

I'm not sure if the order of "12S" and "2P" matters in my title, but here's the scenario. Two 6 cell Yinlong 40AH LTO cylindrical packs connected in parallel to yield 80AH at ~13.8V. I think I need a 12S BMS. . .correct? Any links to an affordable and reliable unit? Also, is it possible to...

I’m planning to run a 100W/12V panel (or two 50W panels) on the roof of my SUV, charging a LiFePo4 battery thru a dc-dc Charger. The cables included with every panel I’ve looked at are 12 gauge, which is much larger than required by the panel amperage output. I’d like like to run 14 gauge from...
