    Are there any batteries do not deteriorate while stored?

    Lithium Titanium Oxide. The specs are insane. 6 minutes to charge 80%, Tolerate -30C, Don't mind being stored full. 5C continuous. $18 for a 20Ah cell. Never cycled. batteryhookup, if you're up for building a battery.

    Renogy DCC50S how to disconnect the solar while driving? (automatically)

    Those are normally open and draw 1.7 watts to stay closed. Definitely want NC. There's this by the same manufacturer, but it's $17700 ! I think an SSR: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101444462/search?origin=y&SearchText=ssr+dd, but I'm ignorant. (I had a friend put an SSR in his electric...

    Freedom 25 temperature settings. Did I find the Holy Grail?

    I'm new to the LiFePO4 scene so please be kind. A common theme is that the batteries are great and cheap but the supporting electronics will break the bank. I was hoping to use as much of the legacy equipment in my mid 90's Pace Arrow motorhome. To that end I've been scouring the manuals to...

    Marine battery compartment: don’t place lead acid and lifepo4 in the same box…

    What do you think about using the high current Headway cells for a LiFePO4 starter battery? https://batteryhookup.com/products/12v-handle-beast-module-with-24-headway-38120hp. (I think you still need a small AGM to protect against an alternator surge if the BMS shuts off, so still not acid-free.)
