Here's a link... other suggestions on what to buy to acomplish the same would be greatly appreciated as well. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K8OGBEC/?coliid=I1IDXCZ3875GM9&colid=14WOJFZS4KJJI&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Agreed in all aspects. and even if it just were any tech that cold be used by big energy it cold relieve the demand for lithium cell materials. That could result in a price drop given how production is a a decent level right now.

.... they sound too heavy for portable use in vehicles or mobil applications but holy cow chack out the energy density potential!

Thx. 3A could be a last ditch option. that other one was 15... that's closer to where I'd chose to be. Good to know that things like it will do the job.

Not available- NO ETA. Never mind.

Thanks for your opinion. I guess it's a question of if I'll get 40hr run time b4 it would croak. But as long as it will do what I need for that I guess I can look at reviews with that in mind...

@snoobler, hey bud. I had asked about how to use a 12v LFPO to safely charge a 12v FLA on another post. One reply said I would likely need a Booster built into the charger. I can't find who that was to ask them if this was what was needed so I reposted this a while ago. I realize you can't...

The link to the v1deo showing it is below. If there is a recommendation that could be a substitute of better quality at maybe 60 buck I'd probably go that route Just for the sake of a protective cased unit for travel. The purpose is to use a solar generators 280AH batteries to top off a...

Oh man I am so sorry. This stuff is all new to me so I have no help to offer, just sympathy and thanks it wasn't worse!

I am in the same boat. Am am not certain if it is even a concern for you, but I need to make sure when I get around to installing the batteries and new converter that the wiring from the converter to the battery is of adequate sizing to run from the converter positioned above the trailer's...

One of Wills (prob more than one) videos mentions pre=cherging the caps in inverters as small as 1500w with a ceramic resistor before attaching a LiFePO4 battery directly. I picked up a few small ceramic resistors for just that. They cost about 8 bucks, well worth the cost to just have one...

Things change fast! Tough to keep up I am sure.

Read the replies above...I think your answer is already here. Capacity and quality exaggerations are rampant on aliexpress and alibaba. I wouldn't be the first to gamble on these....

Cheapest for how long?

I was just about to pull the trigger on a Victron Smart Battery Protect 220A. I figured I'd jump on and see what others here thought about other options. Thx

Good to know.

But the cells got bigger to do it... these are not larger. So.....

All of these suggestions of different flammable foams seem confusing too me. Silicon nonflammable baking sheets just seem like the perfect nonconductive, corrosion resistant, cushioning as spacer/shock absorbers for between the cells...

This is my plan for running my microwave that may require 180A to the inverter by bypassing the 120A max of the BMS. But as stated, you now own monitoring for low voltage. But also info available regarding the capacity of the battery on smart BMSs like the overkill will not reflect watthours...

If you had the charge source leads at one end of the parallel set for top balance the cell closest to the leads can take more of the available charge. I saw a constant, but small drop down the cells as they were farther from the leads when I charged like that. I went to connecting the leads on...

LMBO "Lithium iron shell", unheard of energy density....And a new chemistry matrix that will not be harmed if charged at -5 Celsius (23F).

Links from wills site for stuff are where he get some spiffs. I ordered fortune cells, wires, connectors and things like that from links there to be sure and help where I could afford to. I agree and encourage people to do the same.

Not much to add as far the question in the topic. It's pretty much the last stage of the trailer set up. I plan to use the unit to charge a 100ah trailer battery from a 280 AH solar generator. And potentially use the truck charging system to charge the solar generator if needed. Shopping led...

Nice. I need to research this now... It seems very affordable to even go with a little higher charge rate :)

TY for those other ideas, I will look into the Renogy DCC505....Regarding this. Untill I can afford a second 280ah, that will full time in the camper after a rewire to a new location and support for the 2200w inverter and new converter I have to support the charging paralleling is on hold. Till...

TY that is not on my radar yet. Off to the search window for me...

Yike's I will be running the same inverter this summer for the first time. But it won't be off a charging battery. Please let me know what you learn. What was the load when it failed?

Interesting, Thanks. I did not know that the MPPT requires a higher source voltage. The resistor isn't as appealing as it seems it would create waste across the entire charge cycle. I don't understand the difference in operation of either solar charger. But I think I have read that the MPPTs...

I am working off the idea they will always be in very different states of charge. The Lichens always topped off as an independent solar generator that feeds the shore power cord by inverter at very rare high demand times and the fortune powering house usages daily.

I have built two batteries. One 280ah for mobile storage that can be used in the house or as additional storage for camping. And the second that will be used as a drop in replacement for the campers FLA I went with the more jar resistant fortune cells for this application. Space limitations are...

Someone doesn't get the idea of those one hose portables exhausting room air.. they even pass that air thats being blown out through the drip pan area to evaporate them so they don't need emptying as often. But all that aside There is a guy on YT that did a van camper build. He used a window...

This is everything! many including myself bought elements not needed or inadequate. But plan on what the future may reasonably hold as well. If you give people here, who are way smarter than I, the actual watts of the appliances, and the actual run times, and the max amount of days you will be...

Wow such a great bunch of descriptions Thanks All. I have a better grasp of what he is saying and why. But especially why it did not fit all the cases I know of and how marketing speak translates into what is actually happening. @smoothJoey your description fit perfectly explaining what...

NICE!!! You would think there would be a lot more of companies making these types. But that would assume an informed consumer base.
