How To Make Your Own DIY Power System for Off-Grid Setup w/ LiFePO4 LEV60 cells
In this article, we are going to discuss in detail setting up a complete DIY energy system. We cover the components needed, the sizing process, and useful design tools. This article is therefore meant as a guide and us at @chargedengineering hope that this helps you in designing your off-grid power system whether it be for camping, RV, or just for extra energy storage in your household. The main motivation behind us taking up this project is because of JAG35’s 3.7Kwh custom steel enclosure project designed to be used with the high-quality Japanese LEV60 lithium-iron-phosphate cells. Jehu Garcia discusses further setup and assembly...
CB / Ham Radios and LiFePO4 Batteries
This article explores the use of lithium-iron phosphate batteries in off-grid ham radio operation. LiFePO4 batteries offer an excellent portable energy source option for setups where you do not have access to plug in AC and can often be recharged easily with cheap solar energy. Spec parameter comparisons with batteries of different chemistries such as sealed lead acid batteries and other lithium-ion batteries will also be carried out. Typically ...
