That is a great goal! I would love to as well but I only have so much time in a day. I have at least started bookmarking my posts here for future reference.
I do plan to begin working on a series of
LiFePO4 articles and putting it up on my web site, but it is extremely time consuming work to do this well... probably 40-80 hours time..
So far here just off the top of my
head I have:
Show how to top balance easily
Suggested the preferred equipment for top balancing
Discussed why to top balance
Run 238 cycles and shared that info
Conducted 4 capacity tests and shared that info
Built a
battery case and shared that info & specifics
Shared which BMS I chose and why
Shared my
charging voltages and why
Discussed Ah counters and how to keep them accurate
Shared my findings on the Smart gauge for Li
Show the build process of my BMS and listed all equipment
Gave out my
Balmar regulator settings
Discussed
LiFePO4 and alternators at lengths
Discussed use and charging at length
Discussed
current taper at 13.8V charge levels
Shared actual capacity of the bank when charging to 13.8V
Shared my thoughts on shunt balancing vs. staying out of both knees
Shared my thoughts on top vs. bottom balancing for house banks
Shared information on comparisons between LA and Li in terms of cycle life
Shared that higher voltages and limited sag can lead to blown glow plugs
Have shared my thoughts that I don't feel Li is the right fit for everyone
Share my thoughts on products that have in-built temp compensation
Shared my thoughts on why you do not use temp compensation on Li
Shared my thoughts and findings on overcurrent protection
Shared my thoughts on why a load and charge bus
Shared my thoughts on proper voltage sensing
Shared info on programming
solar controllers
Shared info on why a "Li" charge setting on equipment may not be good
The list goes on and on and on yet I guess it may still not be enough...
