Re: 15 KW DC l electric conversikon
I see that the LTO cells have a nominal cell voltage of 2.3V, which is quite different than the 3.2V nominal voltage for LiFePO4 cells. That means you might have a hard time finding off-the-shelf

Hello Kevin. I have completed 5 successful 48 v system installations in various vehicle applications. I am using lithium iron phosphate with very positive success. We have upgraded lead to lifepo4 on

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
I like it. You can also see your intemecent bags turn color to know when they need to be changed out. Thank you for your help. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
Good point about conformal coating for BMS and other PCBs. To get wires out of my 'power bag', I cut two matching pieces of sheet (PE?) plastic, about the size of my hand. I drilled matching holes for

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
Thank you I¡¯m learning so much from this site! Someone else said put the larger desiccant bags in with the batteries and change them out periodically. Coosa is e-84 tested and has some r-value.

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
I don¡¯t see anything about conformal coating of BMS boards in this long response. Heavy conformal coat is the #1 protection mechanism for most automotive, and particularly EV BMS boards for EVs. Of

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
Short answer - no. Long answer - I built a 1200Wh LiFePO4 pack for my 6m proa (multihull) sailboat. I was very concerned about water intrusion so I put the battery cells, BMS, a 10A solar charge

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
You don't dunk an AGM "without consequence". Depending on the conductivity of the water and the charge on the battery, you are pulling the hydrogen out of the water and the chlorine out of the salt.

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
If the battery is sufficiently sealed so that water does not get inside, and it has a bms / fuse - then it should hopefully not "run away".? Salt water is much more conductive than fresh water.? Not

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
That¡¯s perhaps the conundrum. Coming ashore sooner or later (cruisers) you¡¯re going to broach your dingy and water will most certainly invade the typical vented battery box. No prob with AGM

Re: Do your LiFePO4 batteries ever get too warm?
Excellent point, Phil, and not to mention that ABYC Standards call for ventilation of the battery box or compartment to prevent the concentration of any escaping toxic or flammable gasses. [-tv]
