I confer with Tuskie LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE Li Fe PO4 are the dry cell batteries used for large installations usually banked together as 4 x 3.2 volt cells .
Lithium Ion can be used as an umbrella term for many Lithium batteries but can be misleading thus the
danger comments .
I
purchase through Rod at EV Power West
Australia mentioned by Down Under.
Rod supplies and recommends a Battery Management System (black box) to
monitor the individual cells and this has a cut off if any irregularities occur.
I also fit in the circuit a
single Li Fe PO4 twelve volt cell as an independent start battery monitored thru a Xantrex Duo
Charger.
I have installed Li Fe PO4 into two of my Cats now and to date all systems have worked without a fail .The increased available Capacity alone is enough of an economic equaliser vs the dead lead.
The weight saving is also substantial.
Why buy old technology which you throw out in 3 to 5 years ?
