    I charge LiFePO4 with a lead acid charger all of the time. Zero issues. The batt won't reach 100%. But it will replace the charge to run your pump

    EVE battery terminals. Which configuration?

    If you were to choose between a laser welded stud, and female threaded terminals on 280ah EVE cells, which would you choose and why?

    Current Situation in Middle Tennessee!

    The Haswing and Protruar have the ESC potted into the the foot with the motor. Not a build that I am interested in. I like my kayak remote control set up. You can't do that if you can't replace the ESC. But (I will assume) those companies put a lot of R&D into prop testing. Hitting the jack pot...

    WHY do all-in-one Solar Power Inverters have a high idle consumption? Asking to learn...

    Victron Multiplus are not AIO. But have the lowest idle draw specs of most any inverter out there for the size, by far. Then there are 2 more programable settings to set them even lower.

    Server rack batteries in an RV?

    Those are not server rack batteries. EG4 specs say 6.1". So it appears 2 would fit in 14". But I do not own any to have tried

    Charging a 12v lifepo4 battery on an automotive charger

    surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrely they were referring to a 8oomah trickle charger. No car battery in the world could take 800 amps, and no 120v outlet in your house could power it :oops:

    Charging a 12v lifepo4 battery on an automotive charger

    I have run automotive chargers dozens of times on LFP batts no issue. An automotive charger has never been my main charger but I have used semi regularly as a back up or travel charger

    Server rack batteries in an RV?

    Kinda sorta covered. 2 Server rack batts stacked on the floor weigh less than I do. There is no flooring that can't hold me. And I can get my 200lbs on a few square inches of the ball of my foot. The factory racks cover 24" in each direction. Batts cover a little less than that. But still faAar...

    Any WIFI battery voltage monitors? -- NOT BLUETOOTH

    Server rack batteries in an RV?

    So... if I stack 2 batts, thats 200lbs. A little less than what I weigh. I can stand comfortably on a 1ft square. I can hop up and down on the ball of one foot, and not fall through the floor. And the 1" x 2" ball of my foot is, an order of magnitude less less surface area than a 2 foot square...
