Prolonging the life of LiFePo4 batteries - Product Discussion

There are many articles and apps for Lithium Ion batteries that show that you can extend the life of your battery by keeping your battery charged between 40% and 80%, not allowing it to drop below 40% and not charging it above 80%.

If you want to learn more, please visit our website Lithium Storage.

Does this also apply to Bluetti power stations with LiFePo4 batteries like my EB3A? If I avoid completely discharging the battery to 0% and start charging it at 20% and stop charging at 80% could I expect an even longer battery lifespan than the expected decrease to 80% capacity after cycles? I understand this isn&#;t always realistic to monitor so this is more of an theoretical question.

In addition, there&#;s also the topic of how pass-through charging affects the longevity of LiFePo4 batteries and from what I&#;m reading this too should be minimized, especially if constantly switching between charging and discharging depending on your AC and DC output loads. Any thoughts on things to avoid doing to prolong battery life?

Others may use a timer at the recepticle and set it for say 5 hours then turns off. Most Lithium will fully charge in under 4 hours unless heavily depleted.

Not all people do this. I don't when using cart daily, but I have the Club Car with Eric charger, which is pretty dependable and was designed with this in mind for golf courses which just leave carts plugged in until needed.

As I understand it, some Lithium chargers don't trickle charge or top off, just keep charging. This could harm your battery over time, or be a potential risk. Usually only an issue when left for days on end without use.I have a cart at another location that I leave for potentially months at a time, so I bought a Wayze wifi plug controller.
