Switch to LiFePO4

[stam]

Hello,



We have a lead battery, that needs replacement, and we are considering changing to LiFePO4.



Our current configuration:

Rimor motorhome (2021)
[list]

[*]S-TTK with model B controls

[*]ePvL fuseboard

[*]BC-520 battery charger (230V)

[*]DCC-531 dc-dc battery charger

[*]no solar panels and no invertor

[/list]

Am I right that all our equipment is suitable for a LiFePO4 battery, and that all we need to do is:

- change the switches of the BC-520 to off-off

- change the switches of the DCC-531 to off-off (which mentions Lithium)

- make sure our LiFePO4 battery has protection from charging when it is too cold



Basically, I have three (plus 1) questions?

1) Can we just replace the battery and change the switches as mentioned above, or should a dongle be connected to adjust the charging program? (If so, where can I find German dealers for ArSilicii that can do so?)

2) Am I right that both BC-520 and DCC-531 don't have protection from loading with too low temperatures?

3) Is there anything else that I forgot?



The additional question:

4) Does ArSilicii have a inverter to convert 12V to 230V when not connected to the mains to seamlessly integrate with the current set-up?



Many thanks in advance.

Hello

For 220V you need to set microswitch on BC-520 all OFF (default, programmable).

Also on DCC530 you need to set microswitch all OFF.

We haven't our inverter.
