I'm setting up a new charge controller and I would really appreciate some feedback on my settings. I have an overkill BMS and it is set for the max and min voltage settings for EVE 280AH cells. I am attempting to use the SCC to keep the battery between 20 and 90% capacity. I just don't feel...

My smart bms s/w on android is showing my battery at 100% charged while the voltage is at 13.4. A renogy battery monitor is reporting 84% which is more realistic. I guess I missed something during the initial BMS setup. How do I set it to report correct SOC? Battery is 4 x eve 280Ah cells...

MorningStar documentation warns that if the BMS drops off charging connection while PV is producing voltage, it will damage the controller (TriStar MPPT specifically). They even go so far as to say that to remedy the situation with a relay to cut of PV from charger likely wouldn't happen fast...

Not sure if I am using this charger properly. I want to charge a 4S bank of 25Ah LIFEP04 using the IMAX B6 V2. Setting the charge "profile" for 4S LiFE only gives me a voltage of 13.2v. I want to charge the pack up to full capacity or just under (14v) I can't figure out how to get the voltage...

When measuring Ir, is there a standard/better SoC to do the measurement? I just want to test a bunch of 80Wh LiFePo4 cells and looking to determine/match the cells based on capacity and Ir. I'm assuming those two tests are sufficient. I have read that meters aren't the best way to determine Ir...

I had previously ordered something to discharge 25Ah 1C cells/banks and eventually a 100Ah battery, but I didn't know how to use it and there was zero documentation. I scoured Youtube for instruction videos but nothing so I sent it back. I would prefer the process to be automated in that I can...

I have this small dc buck converter to charge some LiFePO4 cells and it is rated for 3A max. I also have a AC lithium charger rated at 14.5v 40A. Is there any way I can limit the current so it doesn't blow my buck converter or do I have to find a different charger?

I am new to battery technology and I am working on a problem I have with batteries I bought. I cannot find the specs for the cells used in these batteries. Would I be safe to assume that my cells are LiFePO4 based on the sole fact that they are a 3.2v cell? They are at least 3 years old if...

Sorry this is a bit long winded. I'll be upfront here. I am not a solar hobbyist or anything like that but I am a DIYer and I am looking for shortcuts here in maybe reviving my batteries. Background; I bought some lithium ion batteries (2x100Ah) for my RV 3yrs ago from a company in Florida...
