I have not yet read 21 pages of posts. Sorry if this interrupts any active discussion on the tailwind of this thread.
I am here because I know little about having a happy marriage to LiFePo batteries and I’m soon to be putting 280Ah (may add another batter for 420Ah) at nominal 12V. I will eventually read the whole thread a page or so every morning. So by Christmas lol
Having read several pages, though, I have not seen the below idea questioned. Unless i slept through that part of my reading. But the ‘memory effect’ comment is what got me thinking.
So if ‘we’ are suppressing top end max voltage slightly for the purpose of longevity, yet ‘we’ still want to be mindful of
providing optimal conditions for the BMS(s) to balance the cells, and use:
… it begs the question in my mind to be asked, “
could we use a modest 14.4V setting in the SCC (Epever 4215AN for example, 12V nominal system)
in the FLA ‘equalize’ menu to (say monthly?)
stimulate the “full charge” environment while using a lower (14.1V or 14.2V?)
for the regular daily charging voltage?”
It’s unclear to me that ‘equalize’ at a level appropriate for LiFePo would be a bad tool to use. Especially considering that
@RCinFLA post mentioning suppressed top-end charging as an issue to be mindful of.
