Default LiFePO4 Batteries

Battery installed with 5ah FUSE on battery. Working fine. Since the BMS units can fail... and have failed on the Tenergy, it's best to fuse it on the battery.

Right now I'm testing this Tenergy LiFePo4 12.8v10ah unit on my CBA III load device. Set up to discharge at 0.8 amp. Will report tonight on how it does with a graph.

It has the Battery Management System (BMS) with short circuit, over charge and under discharge protection.



QUESTION: Any recommendations from other glider pilots on whether I should ALSO add a fuse on the battery before installing the connector for my ship?
