    follow up on LFP battery heaters for 280ah cells

    Just a follow up on one idea for heating LFP batteries: For my LFP batteries (made from 280ah cells) I used a pair of reptile heaters (8*'x12" - 7watts AC each) and placed them on each side of each battery inside the group 31 case. so far I am happy with the results. although there isn't...
