Re: Charging LFP (LiFePO4) batteries to 90% SOC, or not
I agree that it is highly likely that charging to only 90% will increase the lifespan of an LFP battery. I would also like to know how much difference. Myself and a number of other people with off g…1 · -
Re: Mixing new and old lithium LiFePo4 batteries
From my understanding it is not good to mix Lead Acid batteries of different ages because their charge efficiency decreases and the absorb time necessary to fully charge them increases with age so to…2 · -
Re: Outback inverter with lifepo4 battery
I am not sure that disabling float is necessary or a good idea with LFP batteries. My experience is that charging to 3.45V/cell and floating at 3.35V/cell will keep the battery fully charged when the…1 · -
Re: Lithium DoD Claims and End of Life Capacity statements are Inconsistent
You could run into balance problems if you were only replacing one cell. If you were to add to an existing battery I would parallel up the new cells with all the existing series cells. Lets say you …1 · -
Re: Lithium DoD Claims and End of Life Capacity statements are Inconsistent
Can you provide a link to the source of this information? Lets compare like with like. If we are cycling 70% of SOC from Trojan's own information we only get ~2500 cycles or around 6.8 years from the…1 ·
