    Time to replace tires?

    They are the best around. Best prices...free flat repair even if you didn't buy your tire there. And I was wrong...they recommend replacing tires after 6 years and won't service them if they are older than 10.

    That;s why I only use Maxxis or Goodyear Endurance trailer tires

    Time to replace tires?

    They still have a finite life. Discount tire won't touch any that are over 6 years old. For most applications, you can't find an auto tire that has enough load capacity especially considering you need to de-rate an auto tire for trailer application.

    Spring replacement?

    The issues is that it's easy to get bent spindles. Hasn't happened to me yet fortunately but it's a common issue.

    Stick with leaf springs. Have you looked at eTrailer.com? I bought replacement springs for my travel trailer there.

    Spring replacement?

    I have torsion axles on my boat trailer. Wish I had leaf spring setup. ONly advantage of torsion axles is letting the trailer sit lower...everything else is a con.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Remind me again which DC to DC converter you have? As we discussed beginning of 2024, I bought the Victron 50A XS model. It has been outstanding and you can program in any current you want as well as the voltage it kicks in at which likely would solve your idle issues.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    3 months ago I bought a small 50A LiTime battery to power my trailer's electric over hydraulic brakes when I tow it with my Rivian. My Rivian can't supply enough current so I just use the battery in the bed to power the brakes during the short drive between the storage place and the launch ramp...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    You are talking about an external BMS system. The internal BMS in these batteries have a standby current of 1mA.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    How much current can it put out? I wouldn't go over 50% to a DC to DC converter. Probably should start a new thread though. What starter battery do you own?

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    The BMS did its job..it turned off the battery when either the total voltage went below a limit or one of the cells went below the limit. The problem is, the cells keep self discharging even after the BMS turns off so the cells continued to self discharge over winter until they got to a point...

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Here are the 140AH battery specs

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    That won't do it. One or more cells are toast from over discharge.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    I went on there...there is no mention at all of 2C charging. It does however say the BMS can handle 100A but they recommend 20A.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    Show the link where it says that.

    LiFePO Batteries ???

    You can’t charge at 2C. The BMS doesn’t allow it!
