I understand it is important to avoid letting the LifePO batteries discharge beyond 50%. New Safety/transport law forces to bring the charge under 30% before shipping on Express mode (only?). How (if any) this impact the life/performance of a LiFePO battery we just bought ? Which I just did…LFX14A1-BS12 for my motorcycle. Thank you.

I am thinking to use 12V, 100Ah lithium ion batteries for working min 2.5hrs. What you suggest?

In my experience, and under similar conditions, they have gotten hot and bloated. While significantly more stable than other lithium-based batteries, it would be unwise to consider LiFePO4 batteries ‘fail-proof’.

 

We would require more information about your situation.  Please contact one of our techs at tech@batterystuff.com.

I sell smartphone battery cases for all type of smart phones and lots of my costumers com back to me after a short period of time and tell me that the battery cases charge the phone slower then in the beginning.
I think that the batters them selves in side the cases ore just not good enough. I have sum experience in electanices and I am thinking to pirchece batters seppretly and weld them in.
Do you know what type lithium battery is the most reliebull and lasts the longest.
Thank you

I charge it with an 800 mA 5 VDC USB-mini AC charger and it takes FOREVER to charge. Am I damaging the battery with such a long slow charge? Can I use a 5 VDC 1.8 A charger to speed it up and not cause damage or fire? What\‘s the safe upper limit charger I can use that minimizes the charge time?
