In a deep cycle application such as providing backup power to systems after a charging system failure, A good LiFePO4 battery will provide much longer service at a steady voltage than any lead-acid chemistry and at about of the 50% weight per AH and for about quadruple the discharge cycles. There i

I spent years as an engineer in Industrial Lithium Ion technology. Mostly BMS like Lithium system charging design and such. I actually even own an EV and its really cool but its just not prime time and I never see it go there. As loud as I can type it, I would never ever fly using a LIthium Ion ba

By the way, Mark, I have the newer Great Plains 35 amp alternator. Not that I needed it, but I dropped my magnet ring the last time I had the engine apart, and cracked a magnet. The original 20 amp magnet rings are no longer available. Hi Mark. I am using an Odyssey Battery, in my KR. A battery t

My 2 c.If it is indeed the bms shutting the battery off, it may be possible that the bms is defective (not likely). Your over drawing current past the capacity that the bms will allow, or it's overheating and causing it to shut off. Also there may be enough noise on the charging circuit which ca

Your alternator or dynamo system should not produce power without the battery to excite the system, so if the BMS system in your LiFePo battery is shutting it off, then your system goes dead.  EarthX doesn't seem to have this issues, but using an AGM battery is a solid and reliable fix.   -Jeff S
