    has anyone heard of charging FLA to 2.7V each

    I saw this post on the "must be true" interweb http://www.climtechsolutions.com/great-lead-acid-battery-swindle/ Any technical value to this? I do see how some "smart" chargers, SCC, etc do use 2.7V / cell for an "equalization" cycle periodically - but this article is saying drive it to 2.7...

    I bought these 2 BMSs, expecting to DIY 2 LiFePO4 batteries. Got shafted on batteries by Michael Caro. I am now using GolfCart 6V FLA batteries. They are New in Box, never connected. Purchased March 2021 - when I ordered my batteries from Michael Caro. 4s BMS 120a LifePo4 Battery Management...

    Renogy 800W Solar kit has 4s2p panel set up - is it safe out of the box?

    I thought paralleling solar panels required protecting one array from feeding the second array with diodes or a combiner box? I did not see that the connectors in their kit had a diode built in. What am I missing?

    Typicall all in one (MPP/Growatt/etc) - can it provide output from battery pack and AC/DC converter simultaneously?

    I want to use a 6500W all-in-one to provide surge power to a planned off grid cabin - Solar with a 2000W(1600 continuous) Honda gen as backup. If I use a separate charger driven by the generator, and run the inverter from the battery/charger setup - the batteries will act as an energy...

    FLA v LiFePO4 - seems equivalent initial $$ - what am I missing?

    I'm building a UPS for my house - for essentials - heat/fridges - 600-1000W avg, 2500W peak (inductive surges, fridges all kicking in etc) I have 2 Honda 2000i generators to hook up to the charger for prolonged outages - but this would allow me to stay inside for a while during an outage instead...

    DIY battery pack, can the inverter and charger be used simultaneously?

    For an off grid application with a generator and no solar - I am putting together a 24V battery, being charged by a Honda EU2000i generator into AIMS 24V/37A charger, and power being extracted by a 24V/3000W pure sine inverter. Average power usage is about 500-700W, with peak at 2000-2200W...
