[QUOTE="Mikey B, post: 533909, member: 34464"] My Lead Acid 100Ah battery (8 years old) was under performing and not holding it's charge from my solar setup so I bought a Lithium Iron LiFePO4 50Ah. At the same time I fitted a battery monitor and shunt. The monitor does not seem to be showing the battery charging. (Monitor from Ebay [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294558504584?var=593078643697']DC8-80V 50A/100A/350A Battery Capacity Tester Coulometer TR16[/URL]) (Battery from Ebay [URL='https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133546730946']Ultramax 12v 50Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Battery For Electric Propelling Applications[/URL]) Although it states for electric propelling applications the advert for the battery says it is suitable for Solar applications. It came with a separate dedicated mains charger which I thought strange as I obviously want to charge it via my solar panel and charge controller. I would appreciate any advice. [/QUOTE]
