  • Post in thread: extra long M8 lifepo4 bolts

    Get the correct length bolts, add LW's and FW's and call it a day. Buy extra washers if loosing them is your fear.

  • Post in thread: 12V 100ah LifePO4 for $210 any Good??

    This one states heating function in the initial product info on the top of page but nowhere is it mentioned in the specs. If I bought one I would fully charge it then put it in freezer....then see what it REALLY has in it. If full of promises and nothing more, return it.
  • Post in thread: Circuit Breaker Issue

    Update... I swapped out the breaker with a replacement exchange of same one from same source, more for shits and giggles as to variation in build quality. This one carries a load of 1800 inverter watts but trips at 185 amps. Goes to show quality is all over the map. I am going to go with a...

    After some contact and questions to them, the bluetooth information includes; * overall voltage * charge remaining percent * individual cell voltage * temp * difference between cells * real time amps charge and discharge * ah used and remaining * charge cycles * history tracking The touch screen...

    I can't answer that question. This is the charger I have, it is set for Lithum, that's all I can say...
  • Post in thread: EG4 WTH?

    Make up 2 extensions leads, hook it up to test, if it passes then strip away. If it fails, return it unscathed.

    This is a strange one to me ... Lifepo4 200ah battery connected to a 2200 watt true sine wave inverter via a #1 awg cable, total cable length out and back is @8' with a 250 amp breaker located about 1' from the inverter, I know, should be close to the battery not the load....but, here's the...

    Ya, I get that it is crap but lack of voltage drop with load, or tripping seem odd.
  • Post in thread: Circuit Breaker Issue

    If I want to stay with a breaker, what brand is recommended ? Or, fuse it ?
  • Post in thread: Bought my first battery, I think it dates back to 2021

    For long storage they typically say 50% charge is recommended to avoid damage.
  • Post in thread: Trouble With New Vatrer 12V 200AH heated

    I have that same app for my battery and my soc is very accurate as compared with a shunt monitor. I think OP 's battery crapped the bed.
  • Post in thread: Another, Anyone buy one these ? Battery post

    I did buy this battery, here is the cell voltage after full charge and balance completed. Is this good balance or ??
  • Post in thread: Another, Anyone buy one these ? Battery post

    I am taking the leap to Lifep04 for my RV house bank, been digging through Amazon for the best feature bang for my shallow pockets. I don't have a shunt monitor as of now and if I had a bluetooth feature in the battery I don't think I would need to sweat having a shunt. Here it is, I would love...
  • Post in thread: 200ah fully discharged

    I have cycled my new battery a few times to 60-70% discharge, yesterday I let it go all the way down to test the bms shut off point, it disconnected at 10.1 volts so that passed the test. My question is after a full discharge like this should it be recharged immediately to avoid any damage to...
  • Post in thread: NOCO Gen2 10a Charger on LifePo4?

    When I went from lead to Lifepo4 in my rv the smart charger I have only has lead and agm settings, I selected agm as the voltage output is higher. The bms in the battery shuts off the input once it hits full charge and finishes the balance.
  • Post in thread: Full Charge Balance

    My battery just completed a charge and balance cycle from my 250 watt panel. Do these cell values look reasonable?
  • Post in thread: Another, Anyone buy one these ? Battery post

    This is after sitting unused 12 hours.
  • Post in thread: 200ah fully discharged

    Thanks for the replies, I had charged it at 40 amps previously which is the max output from my rv charger on shore power, while driving it charges at 14 amps through a DC-DC charger which also has a mppt input which I don't use at this point in time. I will keep it at @50% while not in use.
