Hi, when you first connected the batteries in parallel, did you charge both batteries to full and check that they were at the same V with a max difference of 0.1V when the batteries were sitting in for 1 day before connecting them in parallel.
You said you didn't have a suitable charger, so I...
This information can be found in the instructions for use of the Eco Worthy lifepo on page 6 , in addition they recommend doing a balancing every 2-3 months or so, breaking the chest connection and fully charging the batteries one at a time. If you didn't do this, your batteries can't give out...
Thank you,
Hi, it may be more than that, because my consumption is about 70-100A per day and the capacity is max 560A, but I don't want to charge to full.
Except sometimes, if I know I need all A. I am sometimes at anchor for several days, I can also charge the batteries with a diesel...
Hi Mike!
Thank you for your time to consider and solve my problem with the wiring, replacing the boat agm home bank with lifepo4.
I got the job done yesterday and everything seems to be working as it should.
I respect you, thank you!

How would you set the charging parameters for LiFePO4 DC-DC charger?
I use on the go being at sea at about 15-20A per hour, and I'm wondering what to set for boost, float and start charging values.
My goal would be max SOC 85% when I drop anchor.
SRNE 50A dc-dc/mppt standard values for Li...
Hi All!
Intended to replace 4*6V 230A AGM batteries 2*280A lifepo4 "drop in".
I have purchased an srne DC-DC 50A charger / mppt regulator.

And new AC-DC 40A charger. The intention would be to leave the old AC-DC charger to serve the bow...
Thanks again Mikefitz,
I'll be getting the boat on the water tomorrow and will get to try the system for the first time in a real situation where I can run the diesel.
I think I understood your idea by the way, but did you mean the "no absorbtion (boost)" floating voltage?
My first...
If you compare the values BSM A of these batteries, peak current A and time, maximum charge, etc. I think the Eco Worthy 280A offers a lot of value for money, if I need more A, buy two and plug in parallel
Eco Worthy 280A, bsm 250A, peak current 850A/10s, standard charger 140A and max...
Thank you Mike for taking the trouble to analyze my situation.
I am quite sure that the graph corresponds to reality (only solar control house battery). I'll take better sharp photos and information next time I go boating. Here are a few shots.
I have a Blue sea electrical panel with fuse...
I just bought two 280A so I haven't had any experience, but I'm looking for information about Eco Worthy and tests in Germany, you tube, amazon etc.
These seem to be mostly good in terms of quality, including of course disappointments (amazon) in tests 100A batteries have done well. It should...
