Checking in. Lots of great info thanks all.
I will admit that this one post was spam to get the picture viewing ability.
Fairly new to solar. And I've had interest in LFP bats since I first started researching battery banks. I live in Oahu Hawaii and although we barely have any power problems or any reason to keep a battery bank, we pay $0.25-$0.33 a KwH. Now if you consider an LFP at around it's minimal charge cycle of 2000. Due to our high cost of KwH the batteries would be about the same cost as buying from the grid (given you're not coughing up huge amounts of cash for a bms). Further if I can extend the batteries life by keeping it within the 28% range, the batteries should be able to pay for themselves and then some.
Of course the above is all hypothetical. Point being this post has been the most educational read compared to hopping around google hours upon hours. So I apologize if I spammed my first post but I wanted to see the PICTURES >.<.
My current project I'm working on is a 12v 40Ah solar generator. Very tiny and really just something I'll probably take to picnics to run a small bose 30w sound system or my computer's companion system. I'm just having a ton of problems with the bms portion. I was looking at AU's Ev-power bms as a cheap option but T1's CellLogger 8 looks like a great alternative too. Having to maintain the batteries could be a great learning experience.
If anyone has any other suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. But I assure you I have no intention of getting a high post count. Are you an admin?
T1 Terry on the Junsi CellLogger 8, question is how often would I have to check on the log and adjust. I'm also assuming the adjustment would be made from the controller of course. And would you recommend a controller?
