Thanks for having a nosy at my video on this very little channel. A little bit of understanding makes everything easier. Nowhere near the energy you have in your videos but hopefully it helps some people not worry about freezing LiFePO4.
Not ideal when power is so limited that time of year. And as per the video, not a problem anyway, I don't want my water tank/pipes/tap to freeze or me, so there is heat for all of that. Also heat is only for high "C" rates, and in my system 1C is 900amps so that would need a HUGE load to heat up.
@Bosco Dog i will do a video on MPPT settings. Not that simple i have summer/winter settings, settings for heatwaves.... and more for balancing time. But 3.4v/cell or below if your battery is full everyday, 3.6v/cell for balancing and somewhere in between for most other times.
Hi Kev I needs some advice please. I have 2x 200ah Roamer lithium battery with a MTTP solar. I went to pick up the van this week and the 20amp fuse had blown on the solar. The batteries were -4 and -2. The BMS had kicked in and turned off charging and discharging My question is do I get a heat pad? and did the fuse blow because the BMS was perverting charging.
Not sure on fuse, but batteries will be protected. If they are inside the van and you are usiing it then they will heat up, if you arent using it, or using power they can sit there doing nothing and its absolutely fine (even discharge at -20)
"Working around the limitations" I like that...

Cheers Kev, having replaced our batteries with 800AH of LiFePO4 a year ago at huge expense...this is good learning (every days a school day) 😀
Isn't that the truth? I'm sixty-five and still learning new things every day!
You got me finishing your sentence off out loud at the start, but the version you were gunna say but stopped yourself 😆
Discharging will increase the temperature ...switch on a load

Got the audio now.
Can you show your controller settings
Which controller and what settings? BMS, solar?
I am using a EPEVER tracer 6415. 40amp. With 4. 12v 100amh chins batteries.. configured 24v series/parallel.

@@KevIsOffGrid cheers.
Got Audio??
You not hear anything? All seems to be working?
No I don't hear you, I the CC.
Thanks I will figure it out. 😊
I've added CC for the first half of the video - will try and do the other half at some point - sorry, it just takes time.
It's a glitch from y/t ...if you join video to soon or something like that. Just leave youtube & rejoin & it'll be okay buddy
