    Problem with 280Ah pack - did I toast these batteries?

    Hi - So last spring I built 2 x 12V batteries each with 4s 280Ah lifepo cells and 120A overkill solar BMS. I top balanced the cells and hooked everything up and it seemed to work great. Then I installed the pack in my van and discharged to around 50% - since it was going to be a few months...

    Recommended low limit for discharge for 4S 280Ah battery?

    I read somewhere that these batteries should not regularly go below 20% SOC. I have overkill solar 120A BMS. I discharged for the first time after top balance and I saw 0% battery Indication on BMS app. So question is: - Do I need to set this? - Where do I set this? Similarly - looks like...

    Mixed Ah Batteries in Van Build?

    I think I know the answer here. But I’d like to confirm my understanding. My plan was to build two 12v 280Ah batteries for my van - each with 120A Overkill solar BMS or a 4S2P 12v battery bank. But I’m going middle-aged blind and I mistakenly ordered 1 set of 4 x 280Ah cells and then a few...
