I have ReLion batteries in my house bank, and I want to be sure I’m correctly interpreting the charging instructions in italics below. When they say “5% or 10% of the battery capacity” below, does that refer to the total amp hour rating? E.g In example 1, if the battery is rated at 300ah, don’t charge at a rate higher than 30 amps?
The following excerpt is from the maker’s charging instructions:
Charging Temperature
LiFePO4 batteries can be safely charged between -20°C to 55°C (-4°F to 131°F). However, at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) the charge current must be reduced, until the temperature is >0oC (32oF), as follows:
1. 0°Cto-10°C(32°Fto14°F) charge at 0.1C(10% of the battery capacity)
2. -10°C to -20°C (14°F to -4°F) charge at 0.05C (5% of the battery capacity)
