Hands on Experience with Lithium batteries
Hi: I'd be interested in hearing any hands on experiences with a lithium battery install in an RV. Sources, issues, curses and costs. I'm currently going through some scenarios on upgrading my batte...

Quick note
STAY AWAY from liPo batteries they go boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The li-ion tend to go boom as well
LiFe and LMP are good safe technologies - lower voltage typically 3.2 Vs 3.7
I have no personal experience with Li batteries in the cold
Never use any of my LiPo RC batteries in the cold weather either
Sorry no clue how they react to excessive cold
Every application is different
Our liFeMnPo4 cells mounted in the RV stay in a heated barn during the cold winter months.
Cell Balancing devices work by discharging the higher voltages at a whopping 50 to 100ma rate - with 200amp/hr cell how long would it take? Properly designed Warning and Alarm systems along with a bottom balance every once in a while works for many. Do some research BMS systems are many times the cause of fires not the batteries themselves.
