Just my thoughts. Seams to me people are over complicating the conversion from lead to LiFePO4 Battery. I see no need for throwing money at it, the vast majority of RV have no problem with using the original equipment with some minor tweaks. Buying new charger and DC-DC charger to replace the...

I can see that in a RV it can be a OK solution and 2 batteries in series is not as bad as 4 in series and if you are charging them individually as 12v banks the problem of them being exposed to high charging volts is non existing

I did no compression on mine just made a snug box around it to contain the 4 cells (RV installation), and I agree that good quality cells should not expand and if I was making a big static shelved battery I would rather have space between them to allow them to expand and retract. If uniformed...

is this a RV or a caravan? just curious about alternator charging as on my RV I simply tried using the battery in parallel and found the charging current to be acceptable if not slightly underwhelming @25A and there is of corse a cut off relay that vill prevent it from discharging in to motor...

That is tru and compression is easy but still even at 3000 cycles its a full cycle a day for 8 years.

I have bin using the charging MOSFET to stop my solar charger from toping up my battery when I am not on the move, there is only some minor draw from the battery during the night when there is no solar power, is this ok or is this bad for the BMS (MOSFET)? @upnorthandpersonal (JBD Smart BMS 4S...

As a novice in battery making I see that so many people are connecting 4 LIFPO batteries in series to make 48v, and for my understanding this seams to be a very bad practice as there is no way to keep the batteries balanced and the failure of one battery or BMS can create huges problems and...

that's all ok but the question was if it is harmfull for the MOSFET (BMS) non of the parameters are changed I just turn off the charging MOSFET manually to protect the battery from the solar panel controller ramping up with full charge every day,
