12v Lithium batteries, (12.8v LiFePO4) are becoming very common building blocks for our solar off grid systems. It's even popular to series connect them into 24v, 36v, and 48v configurations. However, we still need to be cautious to treat these batteries well. I'll demonstrate how to top balance the lithium iron phosphate batteries for longer life and more capacity. This technique will help prevent nuisance tripping of a battery cutting out. I suggest performing this step when you first get your batteries, and then annually after that as a maintenance task.
In this video I not only show you how to top balance, but also why. I'll demonstrate what happens when you don't top balance. Then I'll demonstrate how much better your performance can be if you do.
