I am an inexperienced newcomer in the planning stage for upgrading my flooded wet cell house battery bank to Lifepo4's. The new bank will be four 12v 100ah Chins.
I noted on this forum that the 12v 100ah Chins are now being shipped with pouch cells. I will be relocating the house bank to the rear cabin.
The configuration will be four 100w panels for solar charging the house bank and a DC/DC charger charging the house bank from the flooded wet cell starter bank.
Thanks,
Bruce
I noted on this forum that the 12v 100ah Chins are now being shipped with pouch cells. I will be relocating the house bank to the rear cabin.
Should I be concerned about using pouch cell batteries in a living space?
Are there advantages/disadvantages to using two 200ah instead as the Chins 200ah are still prismatic cells?
The standard charge current for the Chins 12v 100ah battery is 20a. Does this mean that my solar controller and my DC/DC charger must be limited to 20a?The configuration will be four 100w panels for solar charging the house bank and a DC/DC charger charging the house bank from the flooded wet cell starter bank.
