Hi Tim,


Thanks once again for insights and input, also your attachments. Will need to do some Dr. Google research on the Atom Power lithium battery to check if it has Blue tooth capabilities with App connectivity. Have my doubts as it was only in the $500. price range!

Unfortunately, wasnt given any paperwork for the battery when it was installed. Unfortunately I did not see the voltage reading at the time, only going off the statement of the repair centre chap? It may not have been that low!

Wont be able to get up to Melb. Until the 2nd week of October. Ill stay a few extra days and test for voltage reading and then load up with turning lights on and charge the phones and iPad via the 12 volt system. See how we go then.

If the battery dies after a day, youll hear me scream up your end of the world, even our oldest son in Grafton! Hope not.


Once again thanks, John.

All good John,

Your battery does not have Bluetooth so all you can do is monitor the voltage.  The issue is that with LifePO4 the discharge curve drops sharply at first and is then so flat that even a 0.1v drop can be a significant %.  The table below will give you an indication of what I mean.

 

Tim

Evening Tim,

Thanks for chart/table attachment youve supplied, it will give me a guide when I check on the battery when I go up to Melb..

Looking forward to going to Melb. need the break: school holidays have some of the grandkids down, 8yo granddaughter and her 7yo cousin (grandson), granddaughter is definitely her grandmothers gdaughter: poor little bugger (gson) nagged left right and centre. Ive aged 10 years trying to keep them entertained, wife is fine with everything. Im wondering when the other 4 gkids are heading down ( no probs with 17yo gson we just go fishing: boat or pier) leave the others (3 girls) too nanna.

Going to get some sleep now.


Once again Tim, thanks.

John
