I have a homemade 200ah LiFePO4 battery that I use in my overland rig. I built it using the specs found on this site. It uses the Overkill BMS. I also have a 52v, 15AH ebike battery. The other day I attempted to charge my ebike with its supplied charger by using my 600/1200w inverter. Setup...

I picked up a 3/16" aluminum plate and one of those RV 12v water tank flat silicon heater pads. I am trying to figure out the best way to activate it. I think it will be most needed after a long night of freezing temperatures in the mountains. I have a few of ideas but I am sure this has long...

How can I go about finding a solar panel that would it in a 47" x 18" space? Its difficult to search by size. And how much power could I except from a panel that size? Thanks Tony

Doing my first capacity test in my first top balanced Lifepo4 build. As the battery gets closer to the end of the test, one cell has started to drop much more rapidly in voltage than the others. You can see the delta on cell 4 is large. The delta was very small for most of the test. Is this...

After top balancing is compete, how close in voltage should each cell be? Should they be exact, down to the mV? Or is it common for each battery to be off by some percetange? Thanks Tony

I am building a new 200AH battery and I hooked it up for the first time with my Overkill Solar BMS. I think the BMS is telling me it is 100AH instead of 200AH. Is that accurate? Do I misunderstand it?

I bought this DROK 20amp AC to DC charger that Will P mentioned in his video to charge my new 200AH lifepo4 pack. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GFSVHLS/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_EAS9NVTX2HX4B4V7YMA7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I am doing a top balance charge and this charger is only charging at around 3...

What is the best way to cover these large flat terminal surface areas? Tape? These cells will be part of a 4S or 2P4S pack. Thanks Tony
