Battery chargers

Did I say winter? Of course not .. Who would cruise the baltic in winter? If they are then they will be regularly going to marinas for safe shelter where they can top up their batteries at their leisure when their LFP pack is nice and warm thanks to the cabin heater .

What i did say is that on my boat at -6 outside its fine to charge inside and that if you are leaving the boat with solar on where one might worry that the LFP batteries might be charged when temps are really low , I said the solar gain - the amount the batteries charge from whatever solar there is , would give more than heat pads take, so its fine anyway.

You can read but you seem incapable of understanding and applying what is said to you - hopefully the extra explanation will help you and you can finally learn something. You might like to think of your own words and explain how the LFP would be charged by the solar in sub zero conditions when there is "with snow covering solar panels all the time and overcast conditions" - if insufficient light reaches the solar panels they wont charge and so the LFP will not be harmed but charge in sub zero will they?
Funny but you did say I have cruised the Baltic and North Scotland "all year round"

So you are not in the Baltic/North Scotland and the Med all year round. We have got to the bottom of that one, thank God. But staying on subject I believe they are not safe to leave on charge when away from the boat. I believe some insurance policies state such. That means you either switch them off so no bilge pump or never leave the boat and in the winter you dare not leave them incase of cold weather. The only way I can see to get around this is a back up lead acid battery., being supplied by solar and hoping for bright 🔆 days.
 
This is Shanemax, hows does he get way with this, posting from two accounts ?

@Forum Admin Team isn't this against the rules and why Coopec got a lifetime ban ?
You keep trying don't you. It is not shanemax but someone who knows him very very well, keep guessing. Perhaps his partner is called Sharon, then perhaps not. Dear Moderator, I did not bring up this subject or make unfounded accusations.
