Wholesale Custom Lifpo4 Storage Batteries Solar Energy Storage Batteries Manufacturer

I am using this solar energy battery in my kayak and needed something that would last all day but not be too heavy. It works great for my setup, and weighs about the same as my trolling motor so it works perfect for a counter weight. I took it to the creek a couple times and it lasted all day with plenty more juice left.

I have this hooked up to a 30lb thrust trolling motor. I have only used this lifepo4 storage battery once but it got us across the lake and back to the launch twice. Maybe an Hour of run time? I hooked it up to the charger when I got home and it was still at 13.4v and would hardly take a charge. I'm looking forward to stretching it out for some longer trips in the future.

Bought 6 of custom lifepo4 storage batteies in Oct 2016 to use at an off grid cabin charged by solar (12 v setup). Only have a few things out there requiring electricity, so I added up all the amps I would use per hour, added a little for growth and cloudy day reserve yada yada. Didnt need the 6 but the price was right and there have been times Ive been out at the cabin for weeks without only a few good sunny days to charge back up. Not to bore you with numbers I chose overkill & to try not go below 80% discharge :) There are die hard solar guys who will disagree with that method but it works. Besides inverters cut off around 10v anyway.

On to the lifepo4 solar storage batteries - they were packaged well, shipped well (did I mention free from the bargain store - haa), fully charged and ready to rock and roll. Made some cables to tie them together, hooked up the inverter, solar panels and I was in business. Cant find any other 125 AGM batteries for that price.

Knew there would be a torque value for the bolts - I believe it was 10 inch pounds that I found on the manufacturers web site. Also on the site there is expected lifespan charts based on number of times discharged & on depth of discharge etc. Cant remember off the top of my head but think it was 1500 cycles going down to 80% (10.8 volts?)

Other then trekking the batteries through the woods to the cabin on the ATV - which was still fun btw. I now have more than enough power to run a few lights, coffee pot, clock & a few other comforts of home.

I have two of these 12V custom lifepo4 storage batteries hooked up with a solar panel on the roof of my small camper. The solar storage batteries did well the first time out on a week plus camp trip. Powered up three 12v lights, a 12v water pump for the kitchen sink; and a portable DVD player to watch movies. No problems at all.
