Great review. temperature compensation not needed for that battery chemistry . I have used 30 amp chargers and some get warm after long time. I would say that is 6 AWG wire. Does not look like CCA wire. Where it is cut , you would see aluminum core with copper outside . That outher battery type is Cobalt base and used in electric cars like some Tesla ones. Them the dangerous type that catch fire . Stick with LiFePO4 ! That passed the K8MRD test when you took that Chins battery apart . The battery fail the amp hour test . But was not a fire hazard .The most you got was smoke out when shot threw it. 73
Big "ooops" on the manual... Temperature compensation is something used mainly for Lead Acid and AGM batteries. Oh, yeah and no actual temp sensor provided with unit.
it shouldn't get that hot badly designed heat management. The croc clips are only good for short high amps bursts like jump starting a car, for prolonged charging well crimped (hydraulic crimped) ring terminals are the best option. I have a 24v 200amp charger for my diy battery that powers my home (8s LiFePo4 3000ah) it only gets lukewarm
I can't imagine that charger lasting very long with that much heat on the electronics.... Great review !!
per RST Engineering, an 8 gauge wire with 55 amps should reach 137* in an 80* room ( 125* at 48 amps ) --- FWIW

Great review BTW. With that fan, no way should get that hot unless it is a marginal airflow design.
Cable clamps are not ideal for prolonged charging,install ring terminals and tighten and check again

Read the stamp on the lugs to help tell the wire gauge
50 amp charger? That's awesome. Never seen one with that high of amperage. I would expect lots of heat for such a small enclosure.
That battery is a monster!
Do you ever worry about one of these things catching fire in your lab? :-D
No. LiFePO4 is very safe.
Very good review. Thanks Mike
I would not leave that unattended. If the fan crapped out that thing would catch on fire.
What are your thoughts on the 300Ah battery? It's so pricey compared to other options out there.
What do you have this plugged in to that can pull that kind of amperage? What am I missing?
I only use Victron chargers. Only 27 amps capacity, no fan, all metal. Will last a lifetime..
Good review
Be like Mike
You prob shouldn't
That’s a lot of amps

I thought LiFePO4 batteries were suppose to charge at 14.6VDC?
That’s what he said. 14.6 volts
@@carson3210 But wasn't the wired test voltage only 13.6 in the video?
