I have a LiFePO4 battery. In my charge control system, I am using a Victron BP100 BatteryProtect to disconnect the load and protect the battery from excess discharge. I was expecting to keep the battery from going below 14% or 20% SOC which correspond to 12.5V or 12.9V. The BP100 can only be...
I have been using a bare-bones solar system on an off-grid camper for a couple years but am upgrading to a (hopefully) better more reliable system with more capacity. I would like to share my thoughts and get feedback from the community. I recently purchased a Renogy 400W system with a 40A MPPT...
I have a 280Ah LiFePO4 battery. The voltage vs charge level data from the manufacturer is as follows.
Battery Voltage & Actual Capacity
13.6V 100%
13.4V 99%
13.3V 90%
13.2V 70%
13.1V 40%
13.0V 30%
12.9V 20%
12.8V 17%
12.5V 14%
12.0V 9%
10.0V 0%
Question: does this seem typical for a 12.8V...
My charge control (Renogy 40A Rover MPPT) does not have provision to cut off the load for low temp. It does have a programmable low voltage cutoff.
Currently, I do not run my load through the charge controller. Instead, it is connected to the battery, but I have a Victron BatteryProtect for...
