    LiFePO4 batteries and cold

    What happens when you hook up your trailer with LiFePO4 batteries and it's below zero C? Low temp charge limit is 0 deg C and low temp discharge limit is -20 deg C. I assume the battery allows you to run all your DC stuff because it can still discharge. But it will not accept a charge from...

    Batteries Dead Won't Charge

    I must have left something on in my Dynamax Isata 5 when I left it unplugged from my house power. The batteries are stone dead and don't charge when plugged in to a 15 amp outlet in my house. Is there a breaker somewhere that might be tripped?
