    Lithium Ion and lead acid can be damaged when drained to zero. Sodium Ions and LFP can be drained to zero safely and still be cycled to 2000-5000 for LFP and 2000-10,000 for Sodium Ion. So they should be good for life. That means you can leave your car unattended for longer periods without fear of damage to the 12v battery. Plus some advanced 12v batteries have a shut of protection system when a voltage is reached.

    Which profile (on an intelligent charger) should be used to properly charge the NexPower 12V battery? AGM or LiFePO4?

    Is the 36Ah capacity of the NexPower 12V battery theoretical or the actual usable capacity?

    From my understanding, Sodium-Ion batteries should be charged at 15.6V, but a Prius provides between 14.4V and 14.8V depending on the outside temperature.

    This means the Sodium-Ion battery won’t be fully charged when using the Prius, and you wouldn’t be able to use the full 36Ah in that case. Please correct me if I’m wrong and clarify how this works for the NexPower 12V.

    Does the JK BMS need to be configured for a specific car model (e.g., Prius 2, 3, RAV4, etc.) before installing the battery, or is the battery pre-configured by default to be fully compatible with the S46B24R?

    What is the maximum charging current the battery can accept? How many hours would I need to keep my Prius in 'Ready' mode to fully charge the battery from 10% to 100%?

    I charged with a 14.4 charger (typical for 12v charging voltage) at 160w and it took about 3-4 hours to complete and the pack recognized it as full. The watts started dropping a lot after 14v was reached.

    When you get the 12v battery. Make sure to reset the app password so strangers can't access your pack if. Anyone who knows what app to use can change the settings by using the default passwords.

    First thing you should do is backup your parameters. Because there is no Factory Reset feature. There is an Export Params button. Once you export it goes to this directory on the phone (see below).

    The parameters came preset. Best to make a backup in case you make a mistake. Use the Export Params so you can Import them later.
