Dear God thank you. I've watched enough videos to build the gd battery but the simple red/green thing seems unknown until I got here. Thank you sir.

The price are still alittle high, but looks like amazing product specially teaming up with berleypro

So I just received my 17.5 amp hour battery and I have a nother 17.5 amp hour battery. I put them both to charge with the supplied charger. The light on the charger has not turned green. And the new charger feels really warm. Could the battery be bad?

[@brandongoh8900]

Charger can get warm but shouldn't be hot. The first couple of charges can take longer but as long as it finishes charging and the battery reads 12.6v then everything is ok.

[@Phalanx6433]

I plugged my 17.5 amp hr battery to the charger and there is not light at all. No green or red light. Is my battery faulty? For reference I plugged my 7 am hr battery and the light is green.

[@brandongoh8900]

It sounds like the charger is not working. It should show a green light when connected at the wall.

[@markjvairy]

Can you use a solar panel to charge these, what sort of set up would be required ?

[@brandongoh8900]

Yes you can but you will need a special lithium charge controller. Panel size will depend on whether you're charging the 7ah or 17.5ah pack.

[@DallasD2.0]

G'day guys, is there a solar panel I can use on my kayak to get a little more out of my battery in a day?

[@aarona3228]

Guys, I have your 50ah battery and impressed so far. You mentioned that the fully charged voltage is 12.6 volts. What is the lowest\cutoff voltage?

[@brandongoh8900]

Approx 9v. It will drop quite quickly as the battery goes flat

[@tkheaps]

Getting ready to order 2 of the 17.5 Ah batteries. Do you sell wiring kits to put them in parallel or have any instructions on how to do so?

[@brandongoh8900]

Hey yes we sell a parallel lead which is simply plug and play. You can see a picture of it here www.fpv-power.com.au/kayakbatteries/index.php?route=product/product&path=24_60&product_id=67 Any other questions let me know!

[@MrBumbles2]

does charger come with battery? can i use my smart charger on lipo or are they life4 batteries? (rc smart charger) . is there an on board bms?

[@brandongoh8900]

Yes it comes with charger and you can charge it on lipo settings on a smart charger but make sure it's set on 3s and don't exceed 3.5a on the 7ah pack or 8a on the 17.5ah pack.

[@brandongoh8900]

There is a built in BMS as well.

@@brandongoh8900 thanks brandon, will be ordering soon from us supplier , have to check specs on my striker 7sv for regulator.

[@brandongoh8900]

@@MrBumbles2 no regulator needed for your unit unless also running high draw items like a powerpole off the same battery. You will get about 25 hours runtime from the 17.5ah pack if just running the sounder.
