Thanks for the video, good observation regarding the 5 degrees low temp spec. It seems like we have a miscommunication regarding the low temp protection. Is it low temp charging protection @ 5 degrees F or low temperature discharging @ 5 F? The documentation is too vague. My understanding has been that you want to stop the battery from being able to be CHARGED whenever it gets to freezing, 32 Degrees F or 0 Degrees C. The temp protections for when to stop the ability to DISCHARGE the LFP batteries was set to 5 F or -15 C. Testing should probably have a temp controlled aspect to it in order to verify/confirm the manufacturers claims. This battery suggests it stops the DISCHARGE @ 5 F, unknown if it has protections to stop the Charge @ 32 F.

Thank you for the information and the comment.

Will Prowse had the same over amp results you had

I watched that video. He does a great job explaining the results. Thanks for the comment.

I like your videos. I have a PureSine inverter 2Kw but my local power feed in my area fluctuate over 250v sometimes, and then the inverter rejects the "street" ac or power and go to battery state. This is frustrating because the batteries runs down whilst there is power, just too high. I need a way to reprogram my inverter to accept higher input, say up to 259v. Can you help me please? I see the same display boards on various different makes, so I am hoping that the programming can be modified.

You probably need to look into some sort of AC voltage regulator to connect before the inverter.

When you have multiple batteries, would it be enough to have one with all the protection features, like over current, to shut down the entire bank?

No. That one battery would shut down, but the others would continue to operate in a parallel configuration. It might work for a series configuration, but I definitely don't recommend it.

@@OffGridBasement would be interesting to have a “master BMS” that monitors all batteries and shuts the bank down if needed. Or better yet, shuts industrial batteries down.

Water may freeze at 0C but Lifepo4 batteries have no water so the freezing point of water not that relevant. -15C may be perfectly fine.

Lead-Acid has an advantage when it comes to power output. A group 31 Lead-Acid can output > 550CCA Kinda important when trying to crank a gas engine over with a starter motor.

True. These are storage batteries, not starter batteries. Thanks for the comment.

@@OffGridBasement I'm not sure about that. I know you gave it a failing grade because of over current protection. But if it can output 300A it might be able to start a small gas engine.

Don't waste your time trying to buy this battery. You won't find it at the link that he provided or at the the store link provided on Amazon. Both with just take you to a 12 volt, 5, 7, or 12 AH battery listing. This appears to be a scam battery that the company is handing out to reviewers in exchange for a favorable review. This is 14 days after this review was posted. I've seen reviewers being taken in by this as recently as 9 days ago.
