    Ampere Time 100Ah 12v & Renogy Rover

    You should get a handbook with all the setting required written in it. Easy to access the parameters on the rover in user. Make sure you disconnect the temp sensor if you didn’t know that already, I didn’t. And have also read somewhere else on here to set the high voltage disconnect and max...

    Equalisation charging for Ampere time Lifepo4 batteries

    Right ok so it doesn’t really matter what you call it as long as your not equalising at a voltage you would for a lead acid battery it’s harmless. And by equalising at 14.0v as is manufacturer spec it will somehow make sure each cell is at 3.5v (or try to?). I wonder if this would work for 4...

    Equalisation charging for Ampere time Lifepo4 batteries

    Thanks Fratermus for clarifying that, I’m glad to hear its not damaging if applied correctly. Is it possible to elaborate a little as to why it’s safe to equalise as long as it’s the same as absorption voltage. My understanding of battery charging isn’t good enough to put the numbers together...

    Equalisation charging for Ampere time Lifepo4 batteries

    Hi all, I am wondering what peoples thoughts on Equalisation charging lifepo4 batteries are. Namely the brand Ampere time. It is recommended in their battery settings to equalise at 14.0v for 120mins (I didn’t see anything about the day interval) and I have read frequently that Lifepo4 shouldn’t...

    Renogy 60amp controller low charging voltage

    After reading a few other threads about optimal charging voltage per cell. I’m still curious as to why I seem to have a low charging voltage from the renogy charge controller. 48v battery bank with 4x 200ah 12.8v Lifepo4. Currently 3 x 325w mono panels wired in series generating upto 950w...

    Renogy 60amp controller low charging voltage

    The batteries all have their own 100a bms, they were balanced and charged independently and in parallel prior. (The photo of the controller showing 13.5v was from when they were being charged in parallel. I agree with what your saying about the inaccuracy of the controller read out. I also seem...

    Renogy 60amp controller low charging voltage

    For a 12.8v Lifepo4 battery what is the voltage required from the controller (above the battery voltage) to actually charge the thing. I am under the impression it would need to be higher than the battery voltage to actually move anything around. I currently have a Renogy controller that...
