100 a/h Lithium Battery for $21?
Saw this ad this morning, a 4-pack of 12v 100 a/h lithium batteries for $82.99. So 400 a/h when linked in parallel. Our new-to-us 5er is a 2008 model, so I'm aready planning new electronics, conve...

BurbMan,
Write them and ask the parameters of the battery management system.
Here is a link to a pdf from them.

The "best" BMS settings are always a hotly debated item on any battery/solar forum. On top of that, one discovers the best settings are worthless if the BMS doesn't implement them properly. There's the settings/parameters on paper, then there's the realworld. That's what makes Will Prowse so popular. He has the resources to test so many of these things. Sometimes they meet specs/parameters, sometimes they don't. Nice to find out on a YT video, rather than first-hand.
I feel for the OP, or anybody in the early stages of transitioning to lifepo4. It's a bit of a learning curve. So many options. A number of things to consider.
