Hey everyone, I plan on making a 24 V Hand Truck system for backup power if our grid power goes out. I will eventually put a charge controller on it too to hook up to our panels.
Anyway, I was wonder if it's good practice or safe to keep my LiFePO4 cells on an AC charge to keep them topped off or if I should disconnect them from the charger every so often to let them self discharge some? This system will not be used often, probably only a handful of times per year, but I want to it charged and ready too. On the other hand I don't want to wear out the cells by charging them incorrectly. I don't have a charger, I was thinking of going with one of the Growatts all-in-ones, but also considered a Victron AC-DC charger, I have a Victron 15 amp Blue Smart Charger for 12 v, but know that won't work.
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
