I have had a Kick-Ass lithium battery & battery box for 14 months now it is running a 96 litre Waeco fridge it has never been turned off in the time I have had the lithium battery great product great value
This is a curly one! My battery box voltage meter read 12.8v today but I decided to double check with my multi meter & it read 12.6v!!! WT??? Yep, it was on the right setting too. Any ideas 😮
G'day ,sometimes a volt meter & multi meter etc may vary the reading a little bit ,pending on wiring etc usually a multi meter directly on to the terminals is the best method as it is not going through any other wiring/circuitry as .2 of a volt bee tween devices can be expected - that's why i like to have a good quality multi meter to reference with - if you have any further issues touch base with our tech team - hear is a link for you supportportal.kickassproducts.com.au/ Thanks for watching Cheers craig
I have a 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid. that has no starter motor. The battery is only for supplying the low current 12V system. When my 5 year old OEM Toyota 12V 56ah lead aced AGM battery gets much older, I am thinking of replacing it with a 12V 50ah lithium battery.that sells for about $100 I can't find any videos on this. What do you think?
G'day Den,our lithium battery's are not designed as start battery's but there are some coming out on the market designed as start battery's & they are amazing,i would always go lithium over agm Thanks for watching Cheers Craig
I currently have x2 120mh AGM kickass batteries in my car setup. Can I just swap them out with 2 slimline 120 lithiums? The DC2DC charger and inverter I have are already lithium compatible and wanted to know if this would work in parallel....
G'day Lyle,there is no problem with the input our 24amp model can only handle 23v input - anything over that it will go into fault mode our & 40 amp models have 32 volt input mate so as long as you don't go over 32v your laughing & also has solar priority here is a link for you to look at www.kickassproducts.com.au/buy/kickass-40a-dcdc-charger-8m-heavy-duty-dcdc-wiring/KADCDC40A-AND-WK65 Thanks for watching Cheers Craig
G'day limojag,a good quality lithium will never burst into flames,the bms is there to protect it,stay away from the cheap stuff Thanks for watching Cheers Craig
@@KickAssProducts ok, what is the limited amperage from those batteries and at what temperatures? too high a temp and they should or do shut down same as the cold weather , it would be nice to have a graph or scale to figure out what I would need to run what I'm doing or can do, thanks
Most of lithium batteries you have designed you can’t parcelled. Most current campers and caravans have dual batteries and are chassis mounted externally. Your missing out on large sector of the industry your trying to support. Any plans for 135 - 150Ah in 125Ah case that is IP65+ and can be paralleled? There is only a few manufactures which support this type of battery.
Lithium batteries also burns a hell of a lot better too. I bought an expensive one for my Saab 9-5 2.3 Aero. The battery started burning while the car was off, and the battery manufacturer refused to pay for damages caused by the battery. Here is the list of all the damages that was caused: Seats and upholstery Dashboard and electronics Roof lining Wiring harness Plastic interior components Interior contamination (smoke and toxic fumes) Electrical system (short circuits) Main battery system Engine compartment Transmission Airbag sensors and deployment systems Braking system (brake lines and ABS components) Frame and chassis The reason they refuse to pay is because there is no proof that a trained technician installed the battery. I had NAF pull the car to a SAAB mechanic to get a cost, and they sent me a mail saying there are damages at around $38'000 - $41'000. (Almost twice MSRP for the car brand new) The case is still ongoing.
Defiantly should not put a lithium battery in engine bay, & there is also so much cheap junk lithium battery's out there,we build our own battery's & desighned bms ourselves so you know it's kickass quality Sorry to hear about your SAAB Thanks for watching Cheers Craig
G'day unfortunately just way to much heat associated under bonnet mate,not necessary a safety issue just kills battery's in no time Thanks for watching Cheers Craig
3:18 depths of discharge affect both AGM and lithium the same amount. For AGM most people that don't use it every day it will die of old age before you run out of life cycle at 100% This 50% rule create so much issues in 12v group people go from 200ah AGM then 100ah lithium then have power issues as they no longer have the 50% emergency backup power. You should always replace same ah rating when going from AGM to lithium or more
""When one Tesla catches fire the hole world knows about it while petrol cars catch on fire every day"" , well sayed . How ever you didn't mentioned the ""Termal Runaway"" of these litium battery's when the chemistry keeps on burning and even gives of explosive gas . I am not exactly sure what is the main culprint , the BMS that is malfunction or that the chemistry is heating up despit the BMS . What i am sure about is that some things that are more and more unfolding like a Geo Induced Current (GIC ) will effect these lithium battery's with uncontrollable fires . Despite al the good futures about the litium battery's i choose likely an AGM kind of battery despite the disadvantages , saftey is better then sorry because i seen the burned down garages and houses because of these lithium battery's .
Basically dont buy a cheap no name brand lithium battery's,the amount of people buying cheap ebay scooters & catching fire,go buy a reputable brand & get piece of mind i rekon - you always get what you pay for thanks for watching Cheers Craig
What is it with Australian companies and their love of their brand? KickAss and Patriot Campers look like branding companies that sell a few products. I see seven logos in the above video. Not sure I even want the word ASS on my gear!
G;day bob,not sure how to answer that & not sure what you mean but we defiantly love our brand & gear,sorry if the name offends but it'd\s more of a statement for us Thanks for watching
