  • LifePO4 vs sealed acid battery......LVD

    Hello, Quick question, hoping it's not a stupid one: A low-voltage disconnect is somehow mandatory on SLA batteries to prevent deep discharge that would damage them But does the BMS installed in LiFePO4 (such as the Weize, Chins, Power Queen, Li Time, etc...) act as a LVD, thus a separate one is...
  • Automatic transfer switch between batteries

    Hello Assuming I have 2 x 12V batteries (A and B) that are different types and I don't want to have them in parallel (One is a new 100Ah LFP and the other one is an "older" 75Ah AGM but in good shape) Is there an module or circuit that would automatically switch from A to B when A has reached a...
  • Battery disconnect

    Assuming I don't want to have the charger (Victron 12V/15A) permanently wired to the battery LFP 12V 100Ah), what type of battery disconnect/switch could I use? Would a 110V 2 pole switch work? If not, what are your suggestions? FYI, the positive wire is protected by an inline fuse.....
  • Looking for a reasonably priced LiFePO4 battery...but "reasonably good" as well

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade to LiFePO4 for my 12V DC backup sump-pump (my AGM batteries need to be replaced) I'm looking for 100Ah (200Ah would be better, but then budget becomes an issue....!) Have you ever heard about PUPVWMHB batteries...
  • LFP charger for standby application

    Hello, Other than Victron, what chargers have a storage function (to maintain the battery at a reduced voltage once fully charged) About Victron: other than the IP (22 vs 67 and the 15A vs 17A), are there any major differences between...
  • Redodo

    Does anyone understand the difference between the Redodo Ebay store: https://www.ebay.com/str/zoomspower and their "regular" website? https://www.redodopower.com/ Trying to check if the ebay store with the lower prices is legit..... Thanks
  • Looking for a decent inverter

    Hello What would be a "decent" inverter in the 2,000W range? Not sure if I need modified or pure sine wave though When I say decent, I mean a good compromise between price and quality/functionality I don't want/need the top of the line that will cost an arm and a leg, but don't want either a...
  • Redodo inverters

    Has anyone tried the new Redodo power inverters (1000W and 2000W)?
  • Best LifePO4 battery for $300 max

    Is there a summary somewhere of the current best "cheap" battery (LiFePO4 12V 100Ah).....like a sticky? I know Will Prowse did/does several reviews, but it evolves over time I watched his review of the CHINS, and he recommended it.....But I saw a more recent video about the Weize and it seems to...
  • Redodo 12.8V 100Ah

    A 12.8V 100Ah Redodo LiFePO4 battery for $235 shipped.......is it a good deal?
  • Portable power station

    Hello, Is there any good tutorial to build a portable power station using 12V 100Ah mini batteries Redodo or Power Queen for example)? Could be 12V (2p) or 24V (2s2p) and will use the proper inverter accordingly Not sure what configuration would fit in such cases by the way...
  • LifePO4 outside?

    Hello I'm retrofitting some old solar garden lights to make them run out of 6VDC (2 leds in // and 47 Ohm resistors) Each lamp will draw ~0.75 Watts and I'm planning to have 10, so 7.5Wh But.....I don't want to run a 100 yard wire, bury it, etc... So I was thinking to have a LiFePO4 12V battery...
  • 12V inverter with low consumption at idle

    What would be your recommendation for a decent 12V inverter in the 1,200W range (to power a sump pump) that has a low power consumption at idle? Thanks
