Lithium Battery Charging System
It is time for a new battery in my '04 Lance 921. I am looking at an Interstate battery they sell up the road. But through my research into charging systems/problems, I got to thinking about Lithium...

First off, Solar panels do not discharge energy into the night.
Solarnight discharge
The back flow diodes and solar controller will prevent it. There is a minor voltage Vbf but it's very small. Also, it doesn't discharge back into the either or sky, it's just a resistance load to the batteries.
Most modern solar electronics have some sort of circuit protection. Even so, since you seem to have power in the day with sun, I would guess your solar charge controller is functio I g to some degree. Since your battery dies quickly, my guess.is.you damaged your batteries BMS. You'll have to do or have done, your own testing. Good luck.
Right! we are discussing a possible damaged controller with possible burnt diodes. And panels will discharge a battery at night without the diodes or a disconnect, I would rather have a controller that switches off as a disconnect rather than one way diodes as Each diode will reduce the charging capability.
