Are those operating from zero to full SOC not hitting LVD at "zero" ? Why not? It is all very strange. What is "zero" is the mystery in that case....

What are you calling zero? SOC zero% = what ever the bms is set for whether 2.8vpc or 11.2v battery pack? If you mean zero voltage... well good chance it's a cooked battery.

You will have to ask jaycocreek what he means by zero for any clarification on that

Never quite understood the need to only use 80%of lifepo4 batteries when there advertised to get 2-3000 cycles at 100% discharge and 10 years service life then you still have 80%capacity after that.,0..That's 5X the average flooded battery and under $400 in some cases....

If I was back full timing, I wouldn't hesitate to use 100% of my lifepo4 batteries..But I'm pretty careful now not to go below 50% on my remaing AGM..lol

think for emergency reserve. when I did my Camper I set it up to normaly only use about 10% of the capacity per day. my reason for this is I am usaly using it around now and into november where I need my furnace and cloudy days are quite common. so in the event of crappy weather or a issue with my solar I could go aproximatly 10 days with out worring about it and with my solar I can regain about 4 days worth of power in 1 good day (well 3 days capacity at the end of that day. so if I ever got down to close to 0% SOC it would take me 3 days for the solare to bring me back up. when I add a microwave or what ever maybe Ill change things up and add another solar panel but for now this works for extended off season trips.
