Hi Upnorthandpersonal. This thread which was started in 2021 had some tremendous references on cold weather storage. I particularly like the research experimental data presented. This so so much better than just personal observational information. I am contacting you now to see if, to your...

On the positive side of the Victron Lynx Power In there are fuses (Dah!) My question is a simple one but not addressed in the Victron manual of the Power In. On the middle row of studs one is to connect the Positive cables. What is the order of placement of the components to be connected...

I am having the same difficulty with the discharge button. Can someone screen shot a picture of this jumper "wire". I am looking on my bms and I don't see any such thing. Yes, it is likely mine does not have a jumper but I would still be interested in seeing what it looks like and where it...

UPDATE: My son unexpectedly went up to the cabin last night and he sent me a screen shot of the cell voltages. These values are after the battery sat dormant for 126 days, several of which when the temperature was well below freezing, at 55% SOC with all loads disconnected except the Overkill...

Well, it has been a while since my original post. Sense then I have put a LifePO4 battery system using all Victron supporting components. I assembled the battery with cells purchased from Amy and used an Overkill BMS. The system has worked beyond my expectations during the warmer and...

Here is a quote on the Victron site "In fact we can now put modules in series as well as parallel, which will also increase the input power and flexibility. Thanks to the output power or current limiter, the output power will never exceed the maximum of the controller. This Blue Solar MPPT...

Has anyone done any testing or experience with the Eco-Worthy LifePo4 100Ah battery? I see it for sale for $359. That is dirt cheap which intrigues on one level but concerned on another. Anyway, would appreciate any comments on this battery. Certainly wouldn't trust it for my solar system but...

Yea Paul, that is the conclusion I came to and a lot of other posts on this topic. I kind of knew this when I inquired but thought I might be missing something. I was not. I have an old cell phone dedicated to look at all the victron connect information as well as change parameters when...

Good to know!

In my experience estimating SOC from voltage of a LifePO4 battery is not very reliable due to the flat voltage delivered between the two "knees" of the charging/discharging profile of this chemistry. This chart appears to be one frequently seen with lead acid batteries. Has your experience been...

Filter Guy: thank you for being kind and patient to this person new to the world of LifePO4 and answering his/her questions. You represent what I think is the spirit of this forum. Unfortunately, I lately experienced much different treatment by a member while essentially trying (just as luci...

I am interested in the tail current settings as well and would really like comments on this parameter. I asked a question in this regard yesterday but my question was too closely related to the title of this thread so it got removed. I have EVE 280Ah, 12v battery, Victron Smart Shunt...

Ok guys, I finally assembled my cells into a battery, equipped it with an Overkill BMS, Victron BMV-712 Smart Shunt and a Victron MPPT 100/30 charge controller and a Victron Blue Smart IP22 AC/DC charger. In the testing phase and things going very well. Have the BMS configured how I want and...

Rickst29; let me know how your little experiment turns out. Interested in that issue as well.
