Losing weight

I can see different labels as well. but labels often change while the products don't.
 
One has a number the bottom and one doesn’t same batteries.ive just made cover for the top of the batteries to protect the terminals just a piece 1/4 mdf with some soft vinyl on the underside so the wood doesn’t chaff the batteriesA08215AF-CB0B-414D-9FB9-5BA807EBED4F.jpeg
 
I read the title of this thread and my immediate thought was oh no not another diet thread just what I need to make me feel fatter than I already am first time ever I was thankful that you guys were discussing batteries AGAIN ??
 
When Jeff mentioned loosing weight and then Lipo I thought he was talking about liposuction.?

Phil,
Do you know how in reality these compare with the Victron LiFePO4 batteries?
I am wondering as the Spec for the Relion Batteries are better in EVERY respect than the Victrons despite being around 30% cheaper and I am curious how much is real and if there is any marketing spin on it.
For example - the Victrons are spec'ed to discharge to 80% DOD (Relion 100%); Discharge current continuous 50A (Relion 100A); Min temp for Recharge 4C (Relion -16C or something).
Given they are the same basic battery technology, how is there that much variation in the above numbers between the two? Are Victron being overly conservative?

(PS.. "(3 x 175) / 50% = 187.5 Ah" ? 261Ah maybe ;) (think maybe 3 x 125Ah was meant :) )

Sorry about my maths typo.

The Victron batteries are a completely different type of battery, they have 4 3.2v packs and I have seen several for sale where one of the packs has failed. The Relion batteries use many cylindrical cells.

Here is a quote from their website:

RELiON’s cells are all designed with the following safety features.
1. Explosion-proof stainless steel
2. Built-in Safety Fus
3. High Pressure Safety Vent
4. Over-Temperature Protection
5. Strong Spot-Welded Connections

Note: While submerged in diesel fuel engulfed in flames, these cells did not explode.

They have in internal BMS.
Only the LT versions can be charged down to -16c, the standard RB100 batteries will discharge down to -25c but will prevent charging if the battery is below 3c.

I did ask why Victron are using old Lithium tech and the answer was that they are not a battery manufacturer and the batteries are made for them by another company.
