@AussieVanMan Good day to you!! We are doin well enough in the cold n snow. Looks like at least 2 more vortex type chills n possible snow before Feb 1st. I m counting down to April 1st n looking forward to better weather. We love being out n about enjoying long walks n play time preferably in sunshine which is extremely limited during the Winter months. Thanks much n be good to you❤❤❤
I really like the Bluetooth connectivity on my battery, it is very nice to be able to see exactly what my battery is doing. I only charge with a DC2DC charger for now that also has handy Bluetooth app. Next I plan on adding another battery and solar for a second charging source.
For a LiFePo4 battery, you should have an MPPT charge controller. Solar panels can put out 18+ volts which would harm the battery. And a controller would keep from over charging the battery. For electronics, like a refrigerator, microwave, computer or TV you should use an pure sine inverter, not a modified inverter.
@@douglaswhite1306 I use pure sine wave now but modified never wrecked any of my tv or anything also in these lithium batteries have battery management systems to prevent that d so Orr of stuff but yes I still prefer a charge controller this setup can certainly work though in a pinch as an easy option but with most clip together electronics like this should be monitored and not set and left
Serious question. What happens when the panels go over 14.6 volts? Does the BMS limit it to what the battery needs? I was under the impression that they shut the battery down until the voltage gets to a level it can handle. I guess it would also depend on parallel or series wiring of your panels as to how high the voltage would get.
I’m no expert but yes the bms is supposed to cut off voltage when full as for solar panels this demonstration is for a simplistic setup if you were going to setup a series of panels then I’d recommend doing a proper solar install with a charge controller etc
Did your solar panel's have their own solar charge controller? If not then you could be stressing electronics, or not getting a properly charge profile to suit the stages the battery needs. You'd never do this with lead acid batteries as you'd cook them. Easy to buy a cheap 10 bucks 10-30A charge controller too.

Morning Kate hope you’re surviving the winter! 💯🌵🙌🎉🦝👌👋

Thanks, that is simpler than I thought it would be.
That’s very basic concept it can certainly get difficult the more you build but that’s the very most basic concept of it
Great video
Thanks
Thankyou!!
This was so interesting i had to watch it twice.
Thankyou glad you enjoyed!
we have a big deep cycle battery with a 1000 watt inverter and charge it with 300 watt solar panel.
I love have solar I gradually upgrade mine slowly but you can’t beat no energy bill it’s a great feeling!

Yes I’ve got a dc 2 dc but haven’t installed it yet but definitely handy charging alternative!
But yes I wish my big van batteries had Bluetooth
Informative, Thanks for sharing
Thankyou!!!
Harder to see those screen shares from the phone.
Yea I was trying my best the sun wasn’t helping
@@AussieVanManI’ve seen other people take a screen shot on their phone and then add it in while they’re editing their video.

Are you going to use this in your van? 👀
No I have my own solar setup but I may set this out for ppl to use at van events incase they need power

My solar system has a charge controller yes
