Permaculture LiFePO4: size the load, then the voltage
Permaculture farm power. The useful question is hours and ambient, not a synonym for lithium. ChargeX builds LiFePO4 packs (CAGE 93CZ2, UN38.3) and will quote the voltage your equipment already uses.
CAGE 93CZ2
UN38.3 transport docs on request. DUNS 109774429. We do not publish a star rating we cannot source.
This rail: House banks, Group 24/27/31 drop-ins, small inverters
Typical size: Typical 100–400Ah; parallel for more
What actually fails
- Pumps and fences die at 6 a.m. in January because the wet cell was at 40% and frozen.
How we quote it
- Size for the coldest week, not the average week. Charge lockout below freezing if the panel can still push current.

Sensible up to roughly 2 kW continuous inverter load. After that, step up voltage or parallel with thicker cable.
If you delete the voltage, the Permaculture constraints above should still make sense. That is the point.
Permaculture: the constraints that survive a find-and-replace test
Permaculture farm power Dust and ammonia eat vents. Sealed cells are a livestock-building argument. Voltage overlay on this URL is only there because the equipment rail is real — delete the voltage and the duty-cycle advice should still read as a sentence. Sensible up to roughly 2 kW continuous inverter load. After that, step up voltage or parallel with thicker cable.

Questions we actually get
How do I size a Permaculture lithium bank?
Start from the load you cannot lose. Everything else is optional capacity. We will convert that into Ah at the voltage you already have.
Can I keep my existing charger?
If it can hold a lithium charge curve (higher absorb, little or no float), maybe. Send the charger model. A lead-acid-only charger is how people cook packs.
What paperwork can you send?
UN38.3 is the usual transport packet. CAGE 93CZ2 and DUNS 109774429 for government bids. Other marks depend on the SKU — we send PDFs we actually have.
