OK there’s a lot there but I’ll just say for the moment that no I have never made any changes to this battery. I just got the app yesterday that would’ve allowed me to do that and I told the person that I didn’t think I even wanted to use it because I thought I might accidentally hit something…

Yes, that is all probably very accurate. Except the rover was showing the voltage from the battery I guess, it wasn’t charging “as well” I am a total newbie here with lithium. I am learning so much very quickly, and I really appreciate your words because I think I just learned a whole lot more...

This is on solar

Thank you Mister Sandles‼️

Just to clarify, so I know I understand completely what I’ve been told. That once the battery has reached full 14.6 v , And then has rested long enough for it to get below 14.2v it is then safe to use it unconditionally?

Yes, the top charge was 60+ amps and then it gradually went down my chargers green light went on. I kept letting it go and go and go. It was 1:30 in the morning, and I was bagged and decided to shut it down not knowing how detrimental that little extra bit would be until now.

Sorry, 14.4 V, not 14.6

I will post another screenshot showing the parameters of that charge last night

I’ll let y’all know if this worked out and solved my very obvious voltage issue. Thank you absolutely everybody who helped I really have appreciated every word everybody said, and no argument here on the constructive criticism I use it all for the best‼️ Cheers 🧇🍻🍻🍻🍻

This isn’t when I shut the charger off but it’s the last screenshot I took where it shows the parameters.

Good morning everyone Late last night or early this morning however you want to look at it, I plugged in the 60 amp charger again. After about 2 hours I reached 14.4 v, and reached this milestone in charge on this battery. Hoping this corrected the issue of lower voltage than normal for my...

Then I wasn’t pleased realizing what I’m about to see and hit the reset button now for the last five or so hours the only thing that was drawing off the battery was my 60 W furnace in my RV. And I’m in Canada and it’s very cold up here lol.

By the way, I’m waiting for everything to settle down. I’m not putting any load on it for an hour.🤣

Lifepo4

Sorry about the voice text typos I didn’t catch it before I sent it. The battery is LIFEPO4 280 amp power. I’ve been very happy with it until I’ve noticed this voltage drop. I typically charge it from 30% up to 80% . I’m not getting much support from the manufacturer.

So charging this finally to 14.4 V and the green light coming on the 60 amp charger last night/early this morning didn’t reset this battery’s issues. Is this a warranty issue that I need to deal with with Alberta lithium which are not playing ball with me on this at all no help no support...

I don’t know why people think I think that. Lol I never thought that I understand how the voltage drops after a charge. I’ve actually been charging batteries for years just not lithium.

But I’m so damn appreciative of all you dudes so much you’re awesome thank you

Oh and the reason you’re seeing 118 W on the pics is because I forgot to plug in my 100 watt freezer after charging up last night so it was just the furnace running but then I got up and plugged in the freezer and then took the screenshots, so it’s not like that was the wattage running all night...

Sorry, I thought that was a yes or no answer. Am I missing something? My question isn’t about additional charging. It’s about when can I start discharging it after 14.4? My understanding from a previous discussion was discharging, can commence after it has rested to less than >14.2v? I just...

Well, it probably tapered for about 45 minutes. I could be high on that number.

Ok so I don’t have it correct?

This was bedtime last night with just a 60 W furnace on it until you can see the screenshots previously. I went to bed at 1:30 or so so in six hours or so this is what’s happened to this 280 amp power battery.

The voltage drop that I am referring to is like at 47% I’m showing 12.92 v And all the way up and down the scale seems to be getting worse.

Are these balanced enough for moving forward with power? Or is there some trick? I need to pull off on the BMS and the app?

Great stuff thank you very much‼️

Well, if you ever need to know, anything about domestic structural engineering, like high-end custom homes, you know who you can call.

For example, last night after charging it, I noticed a fairly big difference among the four cells…. I started using it probably at 13.9 V however when I woke up and looked at it, they were completely balanced zeros across-the-board. Do you still think there’s a problem with the balancing of the...

I’m burning out this is my last question I just need the answer to it please thank you

But I am not seeing 14. Anything volts wouldn’t that be solar charger controller issue?

Is there some kind of a cycle I need to do every few months or once a month to keep the voltage from doing this?

I figured as much after my conversation with Mister Sandles‼️

‼️‼️‼️‼️ A W E S O M E ‼️‼️‼️‼️

I am using a cell phone app via Bluetooth to monitor. I take screenshots from the day. I got the battery that shows the drop. With a 20+ amp current do you still believe I have solar panel issues? And it’s on the plug-in 60 amp charger at least once a week or so. Or more.

Burning fuel on days that sunny doesn’t make sense to me. Not when I can get 23 A of solar.

And most days are incredibly sunny

Mister Sandals Sorry for the mistake on the spelling however, I get it you’re a pilot correct? ALS I’m on it.

Or is that ILS?

Thanks for your help. Wattmatters I got my answer by turning on the power and things are balancing out quickly. Enjoy your evening and thank you again bye now.

The 60 amp charger I never see it go over 13.9 maybe 14 V near the end however, after running a cycle on the generator 60 amp charger hasn’t seem to fix this issue.

Yes, I realized my mistake, but it was too late

But it’s all better now, right?

Yeah, the voltage stopped increasing said it was taking current though. But according to voltmeters it wasn’t, does that make sense?

I’m just noticing “Solar Wizard” stated to “hit reset soc at the point of 14.4” ‼️ I didn’t do this. Does this mean there is still hope for clairvoyance‼️

Why does my Bluetooth app tell me I’m at 100% then?

Those cells usually balance out to decimal 000 or 001

With 20+ A solar or with the 60 amp 115 V charger makes no difference. Should I keep it charging even though my Bluetooth app says 100% but is still showing 60A current going in? Is that what this is?

It was the beginning of winter and no time to really mess around. I just wanted to hook it up. Did all the crimp myself pretty good with basic electrical don’t know everything at all but the minimal basics I have a fairly good understanding of.

Oh, so it’s not about percentage or amp hours it’s about “volts” 100% only.?

Wow, I think this has been very helpful. I hope this works have I damaged my battery by not charging it up fully for the last five months since I had it?
