As soon as I come off of shore power or generator my inverter controller reads 13.0 to 13.1. From what I could gather from looking around online it seems like they should be closer to 13.6 if fully charged? On the chart I have it shows 13.0-13.1 to be around 35% capacity?
Ben, do you connect all your 6 lithium batteries in parallel?
I am thinking to replace my 6 house lead-acid batteries with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4), and started to make some inquiries. I was told by a supplier that their LiFePO4 batteries support a maximum of 4 in parallel or 4 in serial. Any more quantity in a group would be problematic.
I didn't understand why, so I googled a little bit. I found this discussion below, it might explain why so:
