Are those the settings you recommend me to change.
Yes.

But I have to tell you since I downloaded that app there was a reset button and it just recalibrated everything dropped it from 100 to 90% with the same voltage as it was trying to get to when it was at 100 when it hit the wall, so everything looks much more accurate now.
So yesterday at this time I’ve been at 13.15 at 90% and now I’m at 13.33 which tells me there’s 10% room to reach that 14 for possibly without an issue moving forward I’ll check it tomorrow or the next day, whenever it is, I should charge up again.
This is common knowledge for lithium cobalt. These are the cells in power tool batteries and laptops. Fires have happened, tho with how many power tool batteries are out there and the ABUSE they get it seems like its pretty unlikely beyond physical damage that they light up. They can also get really angry when they are old and recharged.So I was reading something today online somewhere about lithium batteries needing to be sealed up and not in your living quarters first I heard that is there anything to this?
Those connections are usually torqued to a spec that would mostly prevent that. If I was you I would certainly be curious enough to open it up and use my thermal camera. But I dont think you have much to worry about there. I wouldnt worry about that compared to PV inputs an solar charge controller outputs. If a Pv input or output gets angry, most likely I wont be home. Also with a battery, if I am using a lot of current, I would think I would be home to smell it getting warm.Very interesting that said, is there anything inside the battery talking about connections can they get loose and you would never know it?

Hello I’d like to find out the charging parameters for a lifepo4 battery as well as information about why I am seeing a voltage drop in my new 280 ah battery recently. I bought it new 5 months ago.
I am seeing a real change in the voltage in relation to the percentage of charge…??
I am new to lifepo4 batteries…
I live off grid in Canada year round…
Thanks
Hello RV8R
Thank you I can use all the help I can get here.
