Hi all! Today I received my new 4x lifepo4 280ah cells. I live on a boat and have 2x victron 100/30 mppt solar controllers and a sterling 20a battery charger. I want to top balance my cells from the generator and maybe the solar (its winter in the UK). I cannot really afford a bench power...

Hi all! I'm a new member and live full time on a narrowboat in the UK. My sealed lead acid batteries have finally bit the dust and I have been wanting to make my first Lifepo4 bank for a while now. I have a few questions I was hoping to get some advice on. I want a simple setup that I can use...

Hi all, In my setup I am unable to easily get the temperature sensor on the cells for my battery. Does anyone know if it is possible to extend the temperature sensor using wires, or will this cause a change to the value? Cheers!

Hi all. Up until recently I have been using a 280AH Lifepo4 bank on my narrow-boat with a Daly 250A BMS. Over a winter and a year or so, I noticed that I did not give the batteries time to balance and they had eventually gotten so out of balance that I felt the need to do another top balance. I...
