Hi Jay I am not sure what non-cycling use is, I have mentioned before in my experience where a cell in the string can become lower in charge and the string loses capacity in discharge because the BMS shuts off the complete battery when the troubled cell reaches low voltage cut out. To prevent this,

Look at Blue planet, they have a BMS and l do not know what draw it has. Can you lock out the battery with a contactor to reactivate the system Jerry Jerry On Wed, Feb 23, 2022, 10:56 AM Jay wrote: > Hi Jerry > > This is for a generic GTBB with no battery sell back. So basically for as > many ye

Well before l say anything, how long? I have locked out LFP for 180 plus days and they held the charge, now if the BMS is connected the battery will draw down. Now l can say that once a LFP that l use is full its fu and 99% bypass the battery. Now also different brands tend to act somewhat differen

anecdotal, but Blue Planet told me their LFP battery can sit uninstalled in the box for several years with minimal self-discharge and no problems when put into service. On Wed, Feb 23, 2022 at 10:36 AM Jay wrote: > Hi all the lithium experts. > > Are there any issues with using LFP lithium in no

Hi all the lithium experts. Are there any issues with using LFP lithium in non cycling battery backup mode. Or specific settings, brands etc that should be considered when designing for GTBB, non cycling. Thanks Jay ___ List sponsored by Redwood Al
