    Charging a LIFEPO4 battery in multiple configuration

    I'm going through voltage selection decisions now myself over SHiB LTO 2-3v 20ah prismatic cells

    Charging a LIFEPO4 battery in multiple configuration

    I am in exactly the same situation, I build my battery packs in multiples so that they can feed 24v or 48v inverters in the future when my 12v 2k inverters don't cut it anymore

    JBD BMS JST plug type

    It's the 2.0mm equivalent to the plug on most Bluetooth modules. The JBD store on AliExpress has the UART display with either 2.0mm or 2.43mm plug. For some reason the cell order is reversed. OverkillSolar Bluetooth adapters have the larger, BatteryHookup adapters have the smaller plug

Keep in mind whatever you get, you're still limited by the lighter's fuse rating, and the engine will need to burn a lot of gas for a...

    Phazr JLM ENERGY put the batteries on the roof, I don’t think so!

    I built a couple of 4S8P packs with the Topband 25Ah cells from BatteryHookup, the more recent batches, not the green shrink Novitas. They have performed really well despite being in my Texas garage. Last summer they made it through probably 20 days where the temp in the garage exceeded 100F. I...

    NEEDED: Quality Copper BusBars for LifePo4 cells (quickly)

    I know this is an old post, but the problem of finding or fabricating busbars still sucks! I needed busbars for Topband 25Ah cells in a 4S6P pack. I found a great solution, my wife found a 100' spool of 12awg pure copper solid building ground wire at a clearance sale ($10 for 100'). I stripped...
