    Is it okay to charge a battery with (much) lower current than recommended?

    I would repost this question in the LifePo4 DIY section. Other than crazy long charge times and probably burning out the charger the only marginal concern I have here would be holding the battery for an extremely long time at 14.7. Remember these batteries are often used in solar applications...

    He is flatly wrong. Every major actual double bling random controlled trial has established ivermectin does not work. Ivermectin initially showed promise in the lab outside of human bodies but the doses they used would kill a human. It should have stopped there but didnt.

    Bob B is soooooo disingenuous. He has been shown proof multiple times in this thread who this you tube freak is and he keeps citing him.

    Server rack battery in RV

    My two concerns with this would be weight and vibration resistance. With regard to the second concern, you may want to consider rubber feet, or some other vibration reduction system, underneath the case. With regard to the second concern check your weight capacity. A DIY will be lighter but...

    Extending existing 8awg with 4awg, do I need multiple breakers?

    I am not sure I have this straight or whether it will work for you. In my system I increased the wire size between the battery and the DC fuse box and then left those fuses as they were. However I also installed larger T-fuses upstream with my new lithium batteries and inverter. There I...

    24 volt system

    If you tell us more about your long term plans we can help more. I full time and use both a 40 foot fifth wheel with lots of solar and a 19 foot Lance trailer with no solar but set up for boondocking with lots of lithium batteries and a gas generator. All depends on your plans. I am seeing tear...

    24 volt system

    Weight becomes a big consideration with these trailers. Inverters and converters are common without any steel container protection. Whether the batteries present a fire concern depends on the batteries he is choosing.

    24 volt system

    How big is your teardrop? (oh I see 6 x10) Those are usually quite small and due to the shape hard to place panels. You def will want to max out all area you can but do you have vents, A/C etc. on the roof. Your tear drop is going to have a 12 volt, not a 24-volt system as that is the standard...

    Inverter for powerqueen 190ah 150amp bms battery.

    The size of the inverter in and of itself will not be a problem as long as you understand that your battery BMS will be the weak link so you will not be able to power an inverter beyond the capacity of the BMS. The best way to do this is to start from the wattage of what you want to power...

    Is Bluetooth really needed?

    I have a DIY pack with bluetooth bms. There are premade packs with Bluetooth BMS though. https://www.amazon.com/LiFePO4-Temperature-Charging-2000-5000-Monitors/dp/B08N56CYS5

    Is Bluetooth really needed?

    It is one of those things that you don't realize how much you need it until you have it. I would not go back.
