    Struggling with basic LiFePO4 settings in Epever Tracer

    Hello again! I have tried out your advice now. It seemed to be working just fine for the first day, until the evening, when the battery got nearly full, then it started to do the same thing again. And the day after it did the same thing over and over again. So, I guess the battery is faulty...

    Struggling with basic LiFePO4 settings in Epever Tracer

    Thanks! I understand what you are meaning about that.. Voltage can drop pretty much when high load occurs, I do not have pretty high loads though, it should be the waterpump which draws about 4A or something like that. That shouldn´t drop the voltage that much, not with a Lifepo4 anyway.. My...

    Thanks for all your answers! They are all helping me very much! Yes, I have lowered boost time to 10 min, no improvement yet, but I have for some days ago disconnected solar panel, because the manufacturer told me so, after that, no answer from him, again, he is really bad at answering...

    Struggling with basic LiFePO4 settings in Epever Tracer

    Thanks for your answer! But as I wrote in my last post, the battery is sealed in a plastic moulded box that isn´t supposed to be opened, and therefore I can´t disconnect the cells. And this was something that the manufacturer should have done, and maybe have done, but there is something wrong...

    Struggling with basic LiFePO4 settings in Epever Tracer

    Thanks for the answer, I knew something was wrong here! The load shouldn´t be a problem, I was at work the whole day, and caravan is empty, just the raspberry pi and a router drawing power, approximately ~5W or so.. Is it okay to use a lead-acid charge profile to charge a Lifepo4 battery? I...

    Scream Power LiFePo Batteries - Should I try them?

    On Amazon there is actually someone that asks for low temp protection. But, I don´t know if it is the manufacturer or someone else that answers.. So, I don´t know if it´s true or not. I am in search for a battery, and was temped to buy the "SOK" battery, that Will Prowse seems to recommend...
