    Does Aims 75amp charger have a parasitic draw when off???

    I haven’t measured it, but I’m sure it does. Whenever it is connected to my system I hear a relay close, it opens when disconnected.

    June 6, 2022 - President Biden is authorizing the use of the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate domestic production of clean energy tech

    I wouldn’t get to excited. Any time politicians get involved in manufacturing or procurement, lead times get longer and pricing goes to the moon.

    Future of DIY LiFePO4 looks bleak…

    Demand for batteries continues to rise, couple that with increasing materials cost and inflation? Prices aren’t dropping on ANYTHING any time soon.

    Our NEW GO-TO LiFePO4 vendor...09.20.21

    Received my cells from Jenny yesterday, much faster than we had discussed. The cells arrived in excellent physical condition with no notice swelling. All cells tested @ 3.25v +or- a hundredth. I haven’t had a chance to capacity test, but I doubt there will be any issues.

    I Did a Thing!

    It’s a scrolling display that reads out the charge status. Inaccurate now, since it’s a different battery type.

    I Did a Thing!

    I have a Schumacher power station that had a relatively useless SLA battery. The original battery was 55AH and obviously, you couldn’t use the entire capacity… I need to clean up the wire routing and secure the cells, but this will be far more usable than the original unit once I have it cleaned...

    If they were concerned about forced labor, they’d be detaining Nike shipments and a ton of other consumer goods.

    Is it reasonable to buy Lishen cells off AliExpress right now?

    I don’t think wait times are going to get any shorter in the near future, prices are going to continue increasing as well. If you want something, you should move on it.

    Charging the smaller guys

    Hey All, I've been playing with smaller capacity battery packs and was wondering what chargers you guys are using for small capacity batteries. I'd like a couple lower current chargers for battery packs that are 12V, 25AH and smaller. What are your favorites? The NOCO chargers look appealing...
