Thanks for the response and guidance! Everything you said for #2-4 makes sense to me. I am planning to sell the van in the near future and would like to run this test 1) so I can set/tare the battery monitor 100% SoC capacity level (Ah) and 2) so I can have more confidence disclosing that the...

Hi all, I've got 3x Valence U27-12XP Lifepo4 batteries wired in parallel in a camper van. They were over-discharged over a year ago (red light is still flashing) but I was able to revive them and continue to use them afterwards. I'd like to do a rough capacity test by charging them fully, then...

I did get a chance to call Mechanical Products last week but basically just got the response that the breaker has been tested to the 14 Vdc spec value so they can't recommend using it with a higher voltage...I guess I could have predicted that answer. May just get an ANL fuse for now and skip...

I'm pretty new to all this...can you explain to me what precharging entails? :) I'll take a look at that F-Series breaker, looks promising!

Thanks! I had found that midnite solar one but listed for a bit higher cost. I'll probably end up getting that one unless someone here can assure me that the Mechanical Products 14Vdc breaker is OK for my system. Also meant to call Mechanical Products and ask them about it today...maybe tomorrow.

I'm not planning to trip the breaker but I imagine it will at some point. It's a 2200W inverter and I'll have a few things hooked up to it (1800W induction stove, water heater, outlet) that I will *try* my best to remember to not run simultaneously. I keep hearing that some appliances draw way...

New to the forum, wish I had found this a while ago! Currently building a Sprinter van electrical system and want to put a 250A DC circuit breaker between the positive bus bar and a 2200W Giandell inverter. Question: Will the Mechanical Products 174-S2-250-2 250A 14V breaker work with my "12V...
