    JBD 200A BMS reporting charging when discharging and vice versa...

    I have two JBD 200A, one connected to a thermal pad to warm the battery. I did some testing after the setup one year ago, it worked ok. As now the temperature is going down, I wanted to test both the low-temperature disconnection and the thermal pad, the current temperature is about 9º C. I have...

    Cylindrical cells 100AH

    They are performing well, I have only done 9 cycles, most of the days only 5% draining them in the night and refilling during the day, as it is a RV that we only use occasionally.

    Anyone Use LTO for a Starting Battery?

    I apologize, I was confused because the replies Don't worry about the rest of the elements, they are designed to work with the voltage the alternator provides to the lead-acid battery that is the same you will have when the LTO will be full and the BMS open. I have done what you are planning...

    Anyone Use LTO for a Starting Battery?

    Don't overcomplicate things, use the DC-DC to charge the lifepo4, and connect the LTO directly to the alternator, it only gets a peak for a few seconds and the own alternator is limiting its output to the max in its limits. When the lifepo4 will be full, still the alternator will have the LTO as...

    Cylindrical cells 100AH

    Regarding performance, they are in the specifications, so it is what I expected. With the same space limitations, I would do it again with that cells, but the price is a little bigger than prismatic ones, so for a home solution, I would do it with prismatic. I don't know how realistic is the...

    Anyone Use LTO for a Starting Battery?

    I have finally got 6 Yinlong cells to built a starting battery for my RV. After testing them they meet the manufacturer specifications, capacity >40Ah, IR = 0,6mΩ The supplier has been very responsive all the process, the cost DDP to Europe 331$ Here is the datasheet of my testing:

    Anyone Use LTO for a Starting Battery?

    https://www.global.toshiba/content/dam/toshiba/ww/products-solutions/battery/scib/pdf/ToshibaRechargeableBattery-en.pdf Regarding AH capacity, I think the solution is simple enough, just to place a 100ah LFP in parallel. I am planning a 300Ah LFP in parallel with a 40Ah LTO sharing load and...

    Anyone Use LTO for a Starting Battery?

    I have found Toshiba SCiB cells 10Ah with clear 75C specifications, thanks for your valuable input. They are very very expensive, so these ones could be reused.
