Is there any reason that I could not remove the worn out SLA battery from a small APC battery backup and replace it with a LFP battery? Obviously the UPS was designed for use with a SLA battery, but the BMS in the LFP replacement should keep everything happy...or at least safe, right?

I just ordered a Victron 75/15 (12V) smart MPPT for my small camper system. I have 200Ah of LiFePo⁴ batteries and a Multiplus 12/3k. My power use is very minimal at the moment and I typically can run off these batteries for 2-3 days between recharging. I had an extra solar panel I had planned...

This is a bit off topic, but I know there are some electrical geniuses lurking around here and I'm hoping for some input. I have a couple of fluorescent fixtures in my camper that I'd like to convert over to 12V LED tubes and bypass the ballast. I'm sure it is fairly straight forward but I'd...

It is well known that LFP batteries cannot be charged at temps below 32°F (0°C), but what temps can LFP batteries be discharged at? I know the BMS on my SOK batteries shut off the battery and prevent discharge at a certain temp, but I forget what that temp is exactly. -15°F ballpark seems...

I'm looking for recommendations of a panel or two for the top of my truck camper. I currently have 2 x 100Ah SOK batteries and a 12/3k Victron Multiplus. I have been charging the batteries using either shore power or a generator, which has actually worked very well as it only needs done a...

I have recently installed a Victron Multiplus 12/3000(original, not Multiplus 2) and (2) 100Ah SOK batteries in a slide in camper. These batteries, AFAIK, were not offered with heaters in them. I installed a 25w reptile warming pad under the batteries. So, I'm pretty new to this and I'm...

Does anybody know if it is possible to put an SOK battery into sleep mode via the bluetooth app? I couldn't find any info on this here on the forum, nor on CC's website.

What size fuse should I use for 2/0 cable (short...<5') into a 12/3000 victron? I was thinking 150A or 200A fuse would be about right, but it was suggested I run a 250.

Help me decide... I need a new battery for a camper. These both seem like a good value to me. The extra $90 is not the primary consideration.

I am looking at getting a 100Ah LiPo battery for an RV. I'd like to take advantage of its ability to take a charge quickly, but most chargers out there do not supply anywhere near enough current to do this. I found this on amazon, and it looks promising, but they almost (but not quite) come...

I had plans to purchase an EG4 system for an off grid cabin in the mountains. I was just about to pull the trigger on what I needed when I started looking around at all of the negative feedback in reguards to SS after sale support. Also, it seems a lot of people were having problems with their...

I have some questions in reguards to SS's Chargeverter that recently came out. I plan to have a relatively simple setup at some remote property I own...or at least I hope everything is as simple as I have it in my head. I plan to use an EG4 6kW inverter, (2) EG4 LL 48v 100Ah batteries, and...

Hello folks, this is my first post on this forum. I'm pretty new to solar/off grid power. I have a location that I am in the process of building on. There is not any hope of grid-tied power in this area at least in the remainder of my lifetime so batteries and an inverter seem the logical...
