    Charge rate for 3 LiFePO4 batteries

    I understand it is split but the spec says .2C which would be 40amps on one battery and then it says 20 amp max charging so which is it.

    Lifepo4 cell compression, for a stationary AND low capacity set up, useful or useless ?

    I have solid sheets between so they should be ok.

    Doing the same, wife/neighbor kid proof less the retired part, running a HVAC company full time as well.

    Luyuan battery case

    I have to take a break from the backup for a few days, I have a delivery from China tomorrow. I ordered two D/C refrigerators, one for the work truck and basically one cause it was free. $744.00 shipped.

    The other shot shows max charging at .2c for the 200ah.

    Maybe just a typo in the specs

    Yep, my oldest are 2.5 years, I am going to test a control group that have been compressed that will be going into new boxes. I will do it again in a couple years and see where they are.

    Depending on the design you can get longer fasteners and add springs:-)

    But it looks like the specs say 20amp max charge current limit 10/20 amps.

    I can if I need to but no not worried about coms, I plan on a smartshunt per 4 batteries to only monitor each 1200ah bank at this point. This system so far is backup only no solar. Can’t wait to see the custom cases, it will be nice to have two 12 volt 304ah in one small box. I will have...

    Well just pulled the trigger on 48-304 cells and 6 boxes. Just six more boxes.

    Victron Orion XS DC-DC chargers are shipping - Just got mine!

    I am planning on getting one, I am using a 50amp Redarc now for two 280ah batteries and I need more charging.

    You need to read some cell specifications.

    So how do you know you are not applying too much pressure at 100% SOC with the expansion of that many cells. And yes my cells expand with charge. If over pressure or compression was not an issue the manufacturer would not put it in the cell specifications, so you must know more than them?
