Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

That's comforting to think about.
My new "closeout" 700 aH cells from Balqon have resting voltages around 3.37 volts.
I was wondering if I'd over cooked them.

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

If it "isn't a full charge", where are you getting the "50% charge number"?

I'm seeing a bit of normalcy bias.

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

I DO run a water heater on a 200 aH Li bank.
About 20 minutes a day to get 140 F., and 320 watts of solar makes up for it by the end of the day.
Aerogel insulation re wrap of the tank and scratch...

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

LOL ! I would, but the inverter is only 2500 watts/120 VAC.
It will run most of the house (not the 240 VAC hot water tank or clothes dryer)
Stove is gas cooktop and 240 VAC oven element.:rolleyes:

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

Although I've had some great experience with our 200 aH bank in the boat, I have yet to put my new 24 volt 700 aH bank to the test.
After top balancing them, I installed a Clean Power Auto BMS just...

Re: A poll Happy with LiFe (PO4)?

Another VERY happy camper here.
200 aH @ 12 volts on the boat.
700 aH @ 24 volts in the house's emergency / solar grid tie backup system.
