Hi,
Looking for experience and knowledge about using self-heating LiFeP batteries in the winter (for my shed).
Could somebody explain to me how well these self-heating batteries work in Canadian winters where temps can go as low as -35oC at night and stay below 0oC for months. My solar system is in my shed where its susceptible to the temperature changes.
I'm considering getting the new Renogy Smart Lithium 12V 100 amp battery with Self-heating.
MY concern is, if the temperatures being below 5oC for months at a time, would that mean the heater will be on for months?
How does this affect the longevity of the battery, and even safety?
Can I leave the charge controller connected throughout the winter months (like I did with my lead acid batter) and let the battery and charge controller figure stuff out?
It says it requires 4 amp of power to run the heaters. Being a 100 amp hr battery, and could be dark for upto 9 hrs a day in the winter months, would this even work?
thanks
