Intriguing...

I wonder if Lithium Batteries will generally go in this direction...

The price, if you need this kind of feature, is not that much of a hike.

I expect we will see continuous changes David.

Alex Frood has been sent a couple to test on his this year’s winter trip so I suspect he will give them a good evaluation.

Last week was a fair indication to me of how limiting stopping charging at 0c could become.

My battery also did something else unexpected during that cold spell it switched several times to an output of 12.2v for hours at a time. That must be a feature of the BMS but without knowing whose BMS is actually in my Renogy battery it’s going to be hard to find out why

If you keep waiting for the latest technology, you will die before you see it. Bite the bullet and enjoy now.

been waiting for the salt batteries for over 50 years. I'm holding out for a Nuclear Fission Camper. now THAT is the real future (and IIRC, Tomorrows World told us it should be in the 2020's, so pretty soon).
