Connecting a super capacitor to the solar battery in parallel
Putting a large supercap in parallel with the battery does not change the terminal characteristics. You still would have low voltage trips at 10.5V, and still classify as fully charged at 13.4V. The charge stored in a capacitor is: W = 1/2 * C * V^2. For a capacitor in parallel with a 12V battery the total charge in the capacitor would be:

LiFePO4 battery charger and inverter in parallel
this is not sufficient: for example the main fuse (between the battery and the rest of the circuit) may blow and in few seconds the charger will blow the inverter capacitors. The only way I see is to detect the battery disconnection and then automatically disconnect all the chargers: note that this situation may occur even with solar charges, dc/dc converter (from the

I''ve got a brand new LiFePO4 battery (200 Ah) with internal BMS, got the Blue Smart IP65 Charger from Victron Energy and an inverter. The easiest way to connect them is in parallel (off course adding fuses, switches etc.), but a question arise: what happens in case the battery is disconnected (for example because of the internal BMS) and the charger is active?

Re: Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery? Would this Is this to "save money", emergency backup, or to live off the grid? In general for emergency backup, you would be better off getting a Honda eu2000i genset for ~$1,000 and burn ~2-3 gallons of gasoline per day for anything but full time off grid system.

6 FAQs about [Inverter battery parallel capacitor]
Can a capacitor bank be paralleled with a battery?
Now enter the ultra capacitor bank. It can't be directly paralleled with the batteries. If you pulled a very high current surge, it would pull the capacitor voltage down a bit as that is the only way a capacitor gives out energy.
Can a super capacitor be connected to a solar battery?
I find some people connect a super capacitor like (16v 88F capacitor bank) in parallel with the 12v 100Ah solar battery to optimize the surge current draws from the battery due to running heavy inductive load by the inverter (to increasing the battery lifespan).
Can I use capacitors between the inverter and battery?
Yes, like car audio where the battery size and wiring is limited by other constraints. but in general it will be more expensive than just adding batteries. Having the right batteries and wires is cheaper and works better too. Re: Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery?
