    I am switching the house batteries from lead acid to 12.8V lifepo4. The test installation was non eventful, everything simply worked. I have the basic charging solution figured out. However we frequently travel days in the winter from 10F to 40F, not good for charging. I am thinking or...

    Should You Float Charge LiFePO4 Batteries or Let Them Rest?

    Now that I have my Magnum 2812 running the way I want with my twin 460 Vatrer batteries, it begs the question "to float or not to float"? I see 2 schools of thought here. One is to go silent and let the batteries run down as the coach uses various 12-volt loads and then re-start the bulk...
