    Yikes! I have a leaking LiFePO4 cell!

    They were mounted in a battery box, slightly compressed and terminals were vertical. Leak was from the bottom of the cell, no where near vent. I bought them from a "reputable" referral from this forum. I'm going to reach out to them to see how they handle situation.

    Yikes! I have a leaking LiFePO4 cell!

    I just discovered a leaking cell today. Lishen Cells, 300AH and installed for two weeks in the 5th wheel RV. Rig was stationary during this time and no visible short or damage other than now having delamination of the blue shrink wrap due to being wet. Batteries were 4s for a single 12v battery...

    4s3p 12v LiFePO4 500A BMS Help Needed

    I originally asked them about running 3 separate batteries each with individual bms running in parallel. I did not ask about your 3 separate pack set up although I have seen some use a common bus bar but seemed like additionalw wiringand failure points. Daly rep said no BMS in parallel at all...

    MaxxFan Beeping when alternator charging

    I would check voltage at the fan see what you're getting there. Sounds like a PCM alarm for low/high voltage. Alternator might be throwing the high voltage alarm from the alternator.

I really don't think I'll be going full solar other than plug in panel. With 60 gallons of fuel on board and really only running the...

    4s3p 12v LiFePO4 500A BMS Help Needed

    I've looked at going 48v, but the problem is I have the house power that runs off 12v, plug in solar panel that is 12v, 12v supply from 7-pin, generator on board that in I'm already trying to figure out how to with with, etc. I think if I were starting starting from scratch I'd be 100% 48v.

    4s3p 12v LiFePO4 500A BMS Help Needed

    Thank you for the welcome. There's a LOT on this forum and have been reading for weeks. I wouldn't say life or death, but it's a 12v system in a place now and I cannot rewire (anything touched past distro panel voids warranty and on a $140k rig, warranty is pretty important. Basically it will...
