A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.

It’s 2 AM in the morning. Sleep evades me, episodes of Cheers keeps my mind occupied. Later this morning I will go to pickup my LFP. If the fog is gone.
I am back from the village, my new battery is in place, not connected. I have to make sure both are fully charged before I attempt that. For now I will charge the top one then disconnect and hookup the bottom one as the main one. I would like to see if there is a measurable difference.
The plan is to hookup both tommorrow.
Next after cold brew coffee, breakfast and vitamins, get gasoline for the gen. That has an added difficulty. I parked the van tight as I could to the right of the garage. So tight I could barely get out of the drivers side. That is where the gas filling station is. My only hope is that it is empty so I can move the whole thing.
Even that will be difficult to get at. I parked that so it would easier to get the battery off the passenger seat.
To move the van is 20 minutes of work to get the garage doors open and Gracie started then moved out and in again. After that close everything up again.
Now I am going to have that breakfast.
After squeezing in between my van and counter and moving the gas filling station, then moving another 5 gallon can to fill two 1 gallon cans , the Gen is gassed and running, the top battery is charging and at 84%. As soon as that is at 100% I will charge the bottom one.
Total Lithium Iron Phosphate watt hours :5300. That should get me through most cloudy days. I am excited about that. I will still need more solar and that will eventually be ordered.
