Sorry to bump old thread. I want to find some facts on whether to store LiFePO4 batteries at 100%, or at 50%, I can’t seem to find concrete information.
Ya perhaps the wires can be upgraded, but not without voiding the warranty.
This unit is close to being perfect. For me, perfection would be able to do 10amps continuous, 100W USB-C PD, perhaps a little bit more solar. It has a MPPT controller apparently.
I'm excited to see what they do next...
I don't think so, the wires behind the power pole adapter are only 16Ga.
For pulling max amps, using terminals as a normal LifePO4.
I just like how the Cigarette socket is nicely integrated, so for 12V fridge it's a really clean plug and play solution. Can also charge with a 100W panel easily...
So after unboxing this battery and using it for a few days - it seems to be really great!
I dig the DC hub, it's very useful for what I need it for. There's no fan so the output is silent, though it would be nice if it was a bit more beefy in the output. You can only output 6A continuous, 10A...
I just bought this battery. It's made by Renogy. The original Dr. Prepare (the one that Will had a bad experience with) probably wasn't.
Heck on the financial transaction is by "Renogy International", not "Dr. Prepare".
My guess Dr. Prepare just sources products for their brand. After the...
I really like the idea of a Solar Crate; it seems analogous to building your own PC vs a Laptop.
However, how's the safety of the systems? People like to use solar generators and throw them in a car (Jackeries, Bluetties etc). Would you have any doubts of throwing this in a car and using it...
Are there any companies working on a "case" for milk crate builds - kind of like how PCs are assembled and put together?
Surely there must be a market for such a thing. The only thing turning me off about Milk Crate Builds are how it looks hacked together and also the safety of the enclosure...
What's your use case for the milk crate? Trying to see if it's useful enough to build one. Also on Will's video he uses a voltage input that has a rotary knob.. it seems dangerous that the input voltage could be bumped and adjusted accidentally. Any thoughts?
