Prismatic Lithium and altitude...

[Frick]

So My next home is in the mountains, likely 7000ft. My EVE 230AH batteries that i have just nicely bought, top balanced, capacity checked, racked into a lovely oak compression cart with wheels and neoprene in between every battery, are rated for a minimum of 86kpa. thats about 4500 ' above sea level.

Does anyone have problems with Prismatic lithiums at higher elevation? i worry the seals on top may become stressed from the pressure difference, but i am not a battery engineer.

Does anyone have problems with Prismatic lithiums at higher elevation?

I've been over 8000ft without any issues.

I'm at 9500', with a brand new pack. No issues so far.

2 meter below sea level no problem. sorry Dutch we only have 1 mountain and we all know it is a hill.

Simply put, LFP is happy with whatever normal "human" comfort levels are... that not only means the temperature range but also the general environment. One thing, it won't care about thin oxygen levels, unlike humans. There is very little worry about with that, temperatures will always be an issue as Standard LiFePO does not to be charged below 0C/32F and only marginal charging till cells are above 10C/50F.

These cells have been known to fly at around 30,000 feet as well.

I camp regularly at 9000' elevation and store my trailer at 6000'. I'm not seeing any issues.

I've used mine at 8-10k elevation longterm many, many times.
