LiFePO4 (Lithium) Battery Build (part 3)

geoff June 7, 2021 June 10, 2021batteries, Tech Lance 2185 0

In part 2 I talked about my basic 12V setup and how I was top-balancing my new battery cells. I didn’t get into why to top-balance, but there’s an excellent explanation in the DIY Solar Forum – basically each cell is independent and we’re trying to equalize them and maximize…

LiFePO4 (Lithium) Battery Build (part 2)

geoff June 3, 2021 June 10, 2021batteries, Tech Lance 2185 1

In my earlier post, I talked about what LiFePO4 batteries were and why I went with them. In this article I’ll cover how I built mine, which should allow most savvy DIYers to more or less repeat the process, building on what I learned. Most of what I learned about…

LiFePO4 (Lithium) Battery Build (part 1)

One of the best upgrades I did to our last camper was to install 200 watts of solar power in 2016.  That upgrade let us camp for weeks off-the-grid out west, where dispersed camping and most of the campgrounds don’t have electricity.  So when we bought a newer trailer this…

New(er) camper, 2015 Lance 2185

geoff May 11, 2018 May 11, 2018Camping Lance 2185 0

This spring we decided to sell our 2005 Forest River Surveyor 235RS camper and upgrade to a 2015 Lance 2185.  The Surveyor served us well since purchasing it in 2012, but the boys are growing up and sharing a bed had meant more and more scuffling over space, blankets, and…
