    Compress or not, flexible busbar or not

    So how do you measure the clamping force applied? To work out the stud torque.

    Compress or not, flexible busbar or not

    I've read some of this topic thread, can people confirm to me what the recommended clamping force should be for a 280ah cell in Nm & do you multiply this by 4 cells for a 12v battery pack? Nm being applied with a small 'bicycle tool' 1/4" drive torque wrench, clamped between 2 suitable metal...

    Have I stuffed up this LiFePO4 cell?

    I've seen other users that have shown bigger dents than that and they have continued to use the cell with no detrimental effects. Caution is good, but I think these LFP cells are pretty forgiving?

    Battero Tech BT280 - Info?

    Part of the REPT group of companies. REPT cells seem to have good feedback from what I've found. I like the square stud area for larger busbar contact. I have some on order.

    Microwave for a 1200 watt inverter?

    Lowest power 240v microwave I've found is a Daewoo Qt 14L 600w output, draws 1000w which is about 95/100A from a 120ah 12v LFP into a PSW Reliable brand inverter. Works a treat ☺️ (Also branded as other makes)

    Opinions on Eco-Worthy and Vestwoods 250+ah LifeP04 batteries?

    Rocksnsalt Why do you need an app to use a battery? Does your sprinter have an app for you to look and see its current 'fuel' level? .... Hell, it's got a miracle thing called a 'gauge!' Just get a battery monitor & shunt, then you can see accurate Ah's remaining in a second, before you've...
