from what I read the diehard platinum requires 14.7 volts to fully charge and they prefer to be charged at high amps. It should be good as long as you don't leave the charger connected 24/7 at 14.7 volts. For longterm trickle charge you need something like 13.8 volts. I have a small 27ah agm...

I been using the xt60 connectors on my fridge, that would work better then the ring terminals. But you would have to solder them but they make a solid connection. You can get 10 pair connectors for about 10 dollars. They can handle up to 60 amps, so a 6 amp fridge is no big deal for them. The...

I build my on 4s lifepo4 jump pack using 24x a123 cells. The only time I had to use it in anger to try and jumpstart my astrovan v6 engine it failed me, it wouldn't crank it over, but I also tried a 27ah agm battery to jumpstart it and it also failed. The battery was completely dead. Even...

the oddesey requires 14.7 volts and the gel maxes out at 14.4 volts. If connected together (odessey/gel) the bulk voltage on the solar controller should be 14.4 volts. But one thing I would definitely check is the voltage at the battery terminals. I have yet encountered a solar controller that...

I been using the enovate mobius, its not a true "solar generator" but the price is too good not to use these. It has the same power output as the goal zero and jackery type of power generators (10.8 volts). So far been using them almost 2 months and have been happy with them. You would have to...

The 3 in 1 jumpstarter has a 17ah agm on it you can only use 50 percent, so it drops usable ah to 8.5ah. The only agm's that you can use 100 percent of the ah are the oddesseys 16ah agm, but those cost 120 dollars and are in the 20 pound range. Very good batteries. The beatit g18 uses a 3s 7ah...

Says they are 10.95V. No problem using them with any 12V devices and inverters? How does the charging work exactly? These powerpacks are 3s packs, same as a goalzero. Full charge 12.6 volts, and 0 percent is about 10 volts(when the bms cutsoff). This will have no problem running most...

the jackery on the link is only 15ah, they got jackerys in the 50ah range which would power your laptop for over a week. Its good to research all your options. By the description of the jackery it looks like the max charge rate is 3 amps. The 60 watt solar panel is another 180 dollars.

A simple cheap powerbank is the mobius, each is 26ah and lightweight. I'm using one to power my laptop right now. 4 of these will be less then 30 pounds and provide you 100ah of total power. You can charge them at home take them with you and just plug in a new one as they get depleted, since...

Recently I been having problems with my house battery 220ah lifepo4 (13.1 volts) running my fridge at night time after sun went down. Fridge works fine in the daytime with the solar charging the lifepo4. But once voltage on battery drops to 13.1 volts, the fridge compressor starts runs for 5...

tk15 is what I use, I recommend to everyone. The 50a version is about 30 dollars. Its bidirectional counts amps in/out of the battery. With this you will know exactly how much amps your fridge is using. You only have to program your battery AH rating and the battery full voltage and depleted...

one of the 10 amp pwm controller should work with your panel, 100 watt maxes out at about 5 amps. You can find them for less then 15 dollars. The one on the picture I use as a backup and it works fine on my 240 watt panel but its better for the smaller panels. I like the ability to charge usb...

For the odyssey you can use any profile, the 14.6 volts equalization (is very modest to non existent) . My odyssey I topped it off to 14.7 volts every morning, so 14.6 volts is no big deal for such a battery. While bulk charging check the voltage at the terminals, you might be surprise to find...

I been doing tests with a heater core to circulate the water and cool the air before it goes in to the swampcooler. It does cool the air but less then 5 degrees, but 5 degrees in my situation was good enough especially during the hottest part of the day. The colder the air is before getting to...

for shunt battery monitor the tk15 will work good, it can handle up to 50A and it cost about 30 dollars. I have about 5 of them monitoring all my lithium batteries, they work excellent. I had some working nonstop 24/7 for 3 years, they are reliable for the price, and everything is on the lcd...

To charge from the yeti you would need a dc boost converter and also a buck converter. The boost converter will take the lower voltage boost it up to 18 volts then the buck converter will buck it down to 14.4 volts or whatever you need. The reason you need both is the voltage between both...

Are you measuring the battery voltage at the battery terminals. The odyseys need 14.7 volts to fully charge. I know from my own experience with solar, there is always voltage drop. If the batteries are never reaching 14.7 volts (full charge) but used normally during discharge they eventually...

I have the fullriver fullthrottle 27ah agm, its a clone of the oddysey and looks the same and has about the same voltage/amps requirement. Its a 8 year old battery, recently I been using it as my start battery. I don't drive alot and notice after sitting several days it will give me a slow crank...

Actually from what I read on other forums, when the bms activates, the battery won't charge or discharge. I think everything has to be disconnected so it resets. In my situations when it activates, my fans,lights everything go off, I have to unplug the battery and then reconnect and apply a load...

I seen these voltage surges with both pwm and mppt controllers, and read about other people having similar problems with differnt brands of controllers. I always have a 12 volt swampcooler running and have lost numerous fans and pumps from the surges. This only occurs with the battery connected...
