Floating at 70%. Why charging LiFePO4 to 3.4V is not enough!
Off-Grid Garage
@offgridgarageaustraliaAbout
Taking your house, shed or garage 'off-the-grid' is a very exciting thing to do. On this channel, I share my experience and thoughts of taking my garage offline, disconnecting it from the power supply and run it solely from solar and batteries (for teaching and testing purposes). We will do a lot of testing here on the channel, batteries, cells, BMS, electronics, solar charge controllers and even panels. I will explain how everything works in a beginner friendly way. We will also do smaller side projects to break things down and make it easy to understand. So no previous knowledge or experience necessary to build your own solar-battery system. You can get more information on my website: https://off-grid-garage.com DISCLAIMER By watching these videos, you agree: All electrical work must be carried out as per your local laws, rules and regulations. Installations and setups shown in my videos are for test and demonstration purposes only and may not satisfy regulatory requirements.
Video Description
I lowered the settings in my solar charge controllers to 3.4V absorption voltage. This did not quite work yesterday but I will try again today to exactly find out what is actually happening at this point and why it is not working. Voltage too low? Amps to high? Both? Let's find out! Testing the difference of charging to 3.4V and 3.5V with and without Absorption. https://youtu.be/pijPu7t-akM Please subscribe and join me on my journey of the Off-Grid Garage!
