Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
There were a few
Seems someone thought he could Google his knowledge and got the dirts when it didn't seem to be going quite the way he planned. It will be interesting to see the results after their 4 yrs of continuous service.

A person may fail many times, they only become a failure when they blame someone else John Burrows

Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
Does this look better? I still have some cells that I need to put some load across during the charging process. I have two pairs that still seem to want to climb up a bit in the last 15 minutes of the charge cycle. I still need to tidy up the wiring as the reconfiguration of the battery cells has left some of my cables a little on the short side.
Cheers Chris

Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
I think you will find this configuration much easier to get along with once they settle down. Now you need to fit the cell logger to monitor them. I see even B3 got a mention in there so he'll be happy
I wonder if he will post on here to thankyou himself

Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
Still have the 8x 135w semi flexible solar panels to glue on the roof and wire through the controller back to the battery bank. The Votronic monitor has been hooked up but still needs the cable to the display routing and the display mounted. Heading away tomorrow for five days to attend the Camper Care Motorhome and Caravan Show at Mystery Creek near Hamilton. The large battery bank will easily last three to four days without any charge going in as we are only using 80 - 90 A/H per 24hrs even with our big 215 lt compressor fridge ! The 50 amp charger works great off the Jeep through the inverter so do not have to worry too much about getting it topped up again.

Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
On the reconfiguration part or the B3 part? If you click on the photo Budget Barry has his B3 marked on the last celldapope wrote:Missed something somewhere,T1 Terry wrote:I think you will find this configuration much easier to get along with once they settle down.

Re: Lithium Batteries, who has them?
I've got 480ah of lifepo4 and 600w of solar. About to increase the panels to 1000w and add a new solar charger, so we can run our band from the bus during the day and not have to run the bus.
