Trojan was first with their nano-carbons. I did not see any difference in
life with their 2V L16s for life at 3 clients. They might last longer but
the jury is still out. They are about 7 years old at this time. --Dave

Wrenches,
Anybody using Outback nano-carbons like the Energycell RE, in off-grid
residential applications. What’s the good, bad, and ugly with these.
Thanks,

Jay,
I just installed my first FM-100 earlier this month. (I hadn't gotten it yet
when you originally posted this email). My thoughts so far are that it is
marvelous. With only one in the field and one in my inventory, I don't have
much experience with it yet. When I was at SPP in October,
Hello Darryl,
With Li battery chemistry, a process called Lithium Plating occurs when
charging a frozen cell. Intercalation into the lattice (how Li battery charges
and discharges) is resisted and the current then causes a metallic deposition
on the battery anode. Think of electroplating. Once
Hi Daniel and Larry,
I have a LI-FePO system, Simpliphy 10 kWh it is on its third winter, the
batteries are unconditioned but in a box. I am now concerned, as I worked
as closely with Simpliphy as I could. They did not caution me about the
operation in the cold. The batteries sit and have no
Hello Daniel,
I will give this some thought. What lithium make? The ones I have looked
at log the temperature for warranty so that might negate the value a bit.
The high temp is just as bad in your case here.
Since this has been working well I am assuming snow on the panels is not
an issue?
Has anyone successfully paired multiple Radians and an AC generator in
support (parallel) mode? We're getting mixed advice from Outback tech so
far. Need 600A continuous backup.
Thanks!

Thanks Larry, I figured you would have some experience in this, especially
given your RV retrofit experience. This is generally what I had thought would
be the case. I also was browsing that exact controller when your post came in
Good to have my thoughts confirmed on heat generation,
Hi Daniel,
Charging a Li battery below freezing can damage the battery very quickly. Low
current, C.05 rate, can be used until cell temperature is above freezing but
that can be hard to setup and control. You can store or discharge most Li
batteries down to about -5°F.
Unless you are using
Hello Wrenches, here is a fun one for you all.
The client you all helped me with earlier this year is now considering
changing out their AGM off grid bank with a lithium battery bank before the
next winter. I looked into this, as we have been eying the various lithium
options for 2+yrs now,
Jay,
Much like the Onan/Cummins propane RV gensets, the diesel units draw cooling
air from below, and the exhaust exits either below or to the bottom side.
I service a repeater site that utilizes the model you describe and it sits on
pretty beefy stand. I’ve also seen many of the propane models
