Hi all,

I bumped into this on facebook. $449.95

" Legion 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Lithium Battery, 7000 cycles, Built-In BMS, LCD Screen, 200A Discharge, 100A Charge, Ultra Light, Maintenance Free, IP65. Ideal for RV, Solar, Marine, Off-Grid Apps"

The owner wires 2 in series and claims:

"I’ve verified the charge voltages with solar panels connected directly to the battery with a multi-meter. Once these batteries gets to about 28V it automatically starts to PWM (pulse width modulate) charge up to 29.2-29.4V. Then it cuts off."

Works but I don't recommend using the battery BMS to control the charging voltage.
BMS should be there to protect the battery only. JMHO.

Didn't watch that, but sounds like when I tried a 60 cell 24v panel on a 24v bank. It stalled out at 30 volts. You need a 72 cell panel to go higher.
