Glad to see you and an update. I want to thank you again for getting me to try the 18650 batteries. I now have 7,000 cells in my battery bank. Knock on wood,but I haven’t had any problems with anything in my system. I haven’t even found a single cell that heats up. My system has been up for over 5 years and it’s nice to not have a power bill anymore. I love your setup, and look forward to more videos.

@HBPowerwall 2 года назад

Great to hear! Remember just because it hasn't, doesn't mean it wont - happy 5th bday!

I only started watching your videos as it addressed the Vanon battery issue. Some hours I've now finished watching your battery build. Whilst I have no desire to do it myself, I found it very interesting. A little disappointed with the last battery retention bar, but imagine if given some more time you'd come up with a more refined remedy. Well done. Enjoyable watching 🙂

hi @Phikzel are you able to cycle the 4.5kw daily made out of these harvested cells from dead laptop batteries, let's say 60% use everyday, or are these for backup purpose only ? I am asking this cause I want to build one for my computer that runs 160W average when working,

@LRV-TECH 2 года назад

I give you an idea. Test the interaction of two types of connection connected cells at the same time. Parallel and serial. with two BMS modules. I'm sure the result will surprise you. 4 in series 4.2x4=16.8v (3000mAh) + 8 Parallel 8x8=4.2v (24000mAh). You can increase the amount cells, but the dependence will be different, but it should be the same. I am sure you will like this test.

@mondotv4216 2 года назад

Question, I'm doing same configuration of 4x80 18650s packs and spot welded nickel sheet on top/bottom. I had issues with next step, soldering down the solid copper wire to the nickel sheet. I was curious if possible to just sandwich the packs to each other to gain 12v...Instead of soldering copper wire on every pack and just smash them together. 😅

@HBPowerwall 11 месяцев назад

You COULD I guess, low power draw you likely get away with that sort of lack of care. I wouldn't, these batteries are dangerous enough with out adding a hole heap of cold joints

@ericklein5097 5 месяцев назад

What voltage do you leave your cells sit at for the self discharge test? Most of the datasheets I've read show that 30 days left at 4.20V is going to knock off a fair bit of capacity. I don't understand why people don't use a lower voltage......leave them at 3.60V and they shouldn't self discharge at all. If they self discharge even a little bit then they are no good.

@HBPowerwall 5 месяцев назад

4.2, let them sit for a week or two to 'level off' take the voltage reading after that week or two and check again in a few more weeks, the higher the voltage the faster i'll loose charge so if you did it at 3.7 v it would drop a little slower...

@davidrknowles9792 2 года назад

Hope you been doing well man. My 400Ah one you helped me with has been going strong over the last year and a half. Make sure up flash the new wm5 firmware, it is way better and the cell voltage smoothing takes away critical voltage spikes that kept tripping mine.

or mr mechanical engineer you build the battery to actually suit your needs and the capacity of the inverter and there isn't a day in our Australian Summer they will over heat.. lol Also BMS with programable fan control, temp sensors, shunt trip so if it does get even warm it'll self protect. Then if that fails and it all goes south the 2mm steel 65kg enclosure will just glow a warm red color till my fun little time investment melts into a puddle of metal. NOW should that happen I took the time to install a HD camera that records in 4k 24/7, I'll upload that footage to youtube and 10x this videos income.. win win i'd say... but i'm just a little DIYer havin a crack.

I feel you brother... I'm thinking I owe the world a personal apology, and start over with the entire project - delete my channel and become an old order Amish carpenter..
