Hmm, new LiFePO4 batteries say they need 20A to charge (ideally). My solar panels at this time of year are barely eking out 1.5A. Also, operating temps are 50F+, and outdoors overnight is 44F... the shed is warmer, but not THAT much warmer. So, plan B - going to use them with an AC charger (additional 12V standby here) until I straighten out the solar power situation and rethink how to do this... 🤔 Not a problem, part of putting these projects together is better understanding the problems/challenges/design parameters. #electronics #batteries #solar

Mixing lithium-ion battery chargers can be 'volatile', firefighters warn Firefighters are urging people not to mix and match their lithium-ion battery chargers due to the increasing risk of a fire or explosion. There are concerns the risk of battery fires will increase as devices using lithium-ion become more popular. #Fires #HouseFires #Lithium #Batteries #NicoleDyer #ChloeMaxwell # #DanielleMahe

In response to this post **300W of solar panels in winter, even to a MPPT controller, is no match for two depleted 900CCA AGM auto batteries. Split them out of the string and charging them separately to equalize before connecting them back together. #batteries

Cmon, guys, charge faster, would you! We've got to beat SCE! #batteries #charging #PSPS

Looking for some #positivity to end the week? I have recapped 44 notable #positive #environmental and #ClimateChange articles from past month including: a solution to cleaning up #Microplastics, cheaper #Batteries, and Canada’s mood boosting study using #Nature, and more. https://www.primonatura.co.uk/positive-environmental-stories-009/

@ai6yr I initially had a bit of mental trouble with LifePo4 charging until I realized they just need a bit more wellie to shove the electrons in. It's not like lead acid, where higher voltage is enough. I don't know if that's due to internal resistance or BMSs or whatever...haven't bothered myself with that-I just got the recommended charger.

@ai6yr where'd you source your batteries, and what's the total storage capacity? I'm planning out a similar project at my place for hopefully later this summer.

@ai6yr dunno what battery you got there, charging my 35 kWh LFP most of the time in winter with way lower amps than 20? Also never heard of this problem before?
