Some related threads to ponder over as a crossreference. This list may become longer as I stumble on more Relevant DIY battery cell chemistries. The reason I posted this thread is in the general DIY solar section is that when you look into actually manufacturing your own battery cell...

I am slowly planning to set up a Solar work shed in Israel. As a humble beginning I will be using flooded Lead Acid in combination with locally sourced Panels, cheapest possible chargers and inverters. When I finally set this up, I may very well find myself Off-Grid far away from any DIY solar...

I will have to learn a lot more about chemistry, it seems. Because a number of companies are already building and selling variants, and the Slide show basically describes a zinc plating vs de-plating mechanism, at the base, the tech must be old and patents not a bigger issue.

Thanks for sharing the information. Sad to hear this. It might have something to do with China - US tense relations recently.

There are for sure patent trolls. Especially in the USA, but they specialize in abuse of the legal IP system. The link I quoted is from a Company that actually assemble LiFePo4 Battery Banks in Australia according to another memder of DIY solar Forum.

Everything is possible. The link you provided and I believe you quoted from is not available to me here in Israel.

Maybe they will be. LiFePo4 chemistry hasn't been around in thew US for that many years.

Could you show the source of this information (in contradiction to): Quoting: "The most recent 5 years from 2013 to the present saw the mass production of greatly inferior quality lithium batteries in China. As with so many products the Chinese simply stole and copied the LiFePO4 battery...

Can you show me the origin of this information. In the video above it's stated that Redox Flow Batteries exceed LiFePo4 cycle life count by a factor of 4 or so. Wikipedia states: "While it has technical advantages over conventional rechargeables, such as potentially separable liquid tanks and...

Hats of to those building a Solar work shed, that don't have curious kids looming over and about their cool looking solar equipment. I am a bit taken back by the toxicity and scarcity of LFP cells. I was hoping to get my fantastic world circum-navigation project on wheels in around 4 years time...

These workers are at least able to eat real food. Elon can not be blamed for keeping his factory going during the CCP Zero CoViD Shanghai madness.

I Thank all DIY Solar Forum Members for informing me about the toxic hazards regarding LiFePo4 chemistry specifically when put to use in propulsion of an Ocean Capable Sea adapted vessel. While LiFePo4 chemistry was developed and patented by Michel Armand for Quebec Hydro ( Canadian Energy...

First: 1. I apologize to everybody for how my brain is (mal?)functioning. Also the below presented explanation turned out to be quite a long rant. It happened that I posted this new thread while I was "Into" this temporary trail of thought and then totally forgot about it. A few days later...

I think DIY solar forum is too small to be able to make a difference at this point. A lot of people are investing in getting rid of Chinese dominance as we speak, but as for now we're stuck with getting our LiFePo Batteries, Solar chargers, Neodymium Motors and BMS:es from there. It makes it...

The REAL world is full of organizations and persons that influence others into making radical changes in their lives. Some for good, others for worse. DIY solar Forum is a result of such a person. Elon Musk is another. Jack Ma Yun a third. What is it that you think we cannot have IRL and why is...
