    I am thinking about purchasing one Battle Born 100ah battery for small portable setup - High heat

    Many thanks for the charging info. I will definitely read over these instructions. I think maybe for my little setup, a Battle Born might even be a little overkill. However, from what I've read, Battle Born batteries are really "the best there is" when it comes to a pre-packaged, reliable...

    I am thinking about purchasing one Battle Born 100ah battery for small portable setup - High heat

    I am seriously considering supplementing my portable solar system. I want a few days of additional autonomy, and so based on my relatively low watt hour requirements (anywhere from 150-200 watts for 3 hours per day) I am calculating that I will need roughly 1100 watt hours or so to feel more...

    EGO 56V Inverter and related 56V Batteries (Lithium ARC / 18650 cells) 7.5 AH BA4200T

    I guess there are pros and cons to any portable setup like this. In my view, here are the pros: -- Portable -- Easy to setup / deploy -- Batteries are "hot swappable" -- All parts in the system can be replaced individually if one of them were to fail vs a total failure of "an all-in-one" unit...

    EGO 56V Inverter and related 56V Batteries (Lithium ARC / 18650 cells) 7.5 AH BA4200T

    Yes. That's correct. Basically, what I do is connect a CH220 slow battery charger to each River 600. Thus, I am able to successfully charge each 56V battery in anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on the battery size). Most of the time, even after roughly an hour of charging, the battery is...

    Are NMC-based LG or Samsung 18650 batteries safer than others?

    I have a question hopefully someone can answer: How safe are 18650 NMC-based batteries? Particularly, more "brand name" batteries such as LG or Samsung? Are they subject to issues like thermal runaway? In other words, if I am charging these in my home at night, would they be a major fire hazard...

    Bluetti EB5000 Solar & Hernia Generator

    I agree 100 percent. Quick charging is what it's all about in this modern day and age. I'm very happy that Bluetti is one of the first manufacturers to embrace LiFePO4 technology in a commercial setting. Let's hope that this is truly a win-win for the consumer.

    Like many, I too have a Jackery 500. I've used it a couple of times on a camping trip. I love the MPPT charge controller. I used it with about 160 watts of STC solar. Real world conditions meant that I was getting a max of 60-80 watts of input at any given time (sunny conditions). Cloudy...
