This is awesome. This is approaching my vision of what LFP batteries should be like. Set it on the ground, wire 4 in series, connect them to the inverter, all DIY friendly, no stupid $2000-of-labor professional installation process
Really a superior quality battery. A tad expensive, but you get what you pay for. I think this would also make a superior 24v battery, hopefully they will come out with one. The cables required for 12v are really difficult to work with.
Did you find anything that I'm missing lol? I see a few are mentioning concerns over the cable thickness. I may do some further testing there - need to pick up another inverter.
@@LithiumSolar the low temp charging shut off needs tested. We learned from Will that some advertise this function but sometimes it doesn't work unfortunately. Thank you!!
There are probably over 1000 different styles of lithium battery options just at 12v, now. And they still just keep cranking them out of china (and some US manufacturers). I imagine 100ah batteries are going to be $100-$150 by next year
Thank you! One extremely critical thing we really need to test in all batteries is the low temp charging shut off function; I've seen batteries advertise this and it not work. If a lithium battery accidentally gets charged during freezing, it's lifespan gets shot. Are you able to perform this test? Seems like a great quality product at a decent price! Thank you!
I see that it has low temp charging protection. I did not see anything about self-heating. If this is correct, then using this in an RV or similar situation would require a heating pad. Do I have this right?
in the data sheet you know it said 1800 cycles at 45C so they took it on the safe side since the highest and lowest volts it is probably good to change to to improve the life span
I like 12V systems as I am familiar. I wish I had this battery though. I just finished doing a diy portable power station using EG4 inverter and the LL battery and was quite simple to connect but confusing with the manual I had. Also easier to find an inverter or charger for the 12V system and don't like that the my system in idle consumes 50W an hour. Just me not liking 48V but I have one now. As always great video.
Thanks for this! I've been running this battery in my micro camper van and I LOVE IT. Its game changing for me, allowing me to run Air Conditioning. I am wondering if anybody charges these to 100% and down to 0% repeatedly? Some feel it's not as damaging as we have been lead to believe.
Yeah, the evolution of these batteries is nothing short of staggering. And we need more of them to secure energy resiliency and independence. How does everyone feel about side-mounted terminals?
That's a pretty battery. Looks like a good design and build except for the wiring. 2ga starts getting really hot as it nears 200amps so no way is that going to sustain 250amps. The 3x6ga fails about the same amperage. Sure seems like a natural to build a 24v in that chassis but probably wouldn't be popular enough.
I've been using 24v due to ampacity ratings, and the ability to fit a usable system onto a "crash cart" system. Much easier to run a 3000va Victron at 24v rather than 12v. Unfortunately I agree, not much of a market for 24v systems.
You’re forced to do bare minimum 24v…amps need to be decreased for proper wire sizing. Those aluminum busbars are going to be super overheating as well. Don’t know why manufactures insist on using that cheap ass. Aluminum…copper is far more superior for heat and amperage plus electrical conductivity.. 48 V is a nice system. The only problem is there’s not too many components that you can find easily that will run on 48 V …12 V is fine for low amperage components as they are plentiful. 24 V and 36 V have more of a selection at a reasonable price point.. The higher the amperage the higher the heat… More Strain on components..
same thing happened with the pc computers the r and d tooling and development costs get paid off and improvement's in quality usually follow to a point then it starts ad this ad another feature and costs start getting higher and basics get cheaper but then everyone wants the upgrade pickups are prime example 6 cy stick trucks were cheaper than most cars until loaded with too many features cost got to point 90% of pickup buyers who really need a work truck cannot find anything but super plush 80-100k ones with interiors you hate to wear work boots or dirty pants in
I'm not sure how to answer this. These do not have the double screw terminals so obviously they either ordered a different terminal style or without terminals and welded themselves.
It's still working, just tried. This product page amzn.to/3Xp0tzQ add to cart, on check out use the code "LITHIUM5OFF" in the "Add a gift card or promotion code or voucher" field. If you entered the code earlier today and closed the page, it may not accept it again but it should still be listed under your promotional balance. Click the "Change" button for payment methods and you should see a check box "Use your $70.00 Promotional balance" ?
@@LithiumSolar i had to cancelled my previous order and when i go to use the code it says its "The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase"?
Are you going to change your name when technology changes to Sodium Ion? Can you please do a review on Natron Energy BluePack Sodium Ion battery? 50,000 cycles!
So was this sent to you or did you randomly buy this battery? It matters because temgot obviously could have made a spot on epic battery and sent it to you for you to be surprised that it’s awesome yet all their other production batteries could be slapped together and fucking garbage…
They sent it to me for review. I don't believe that to be the case and have not experienced that with ANY of the batteries that I have reviewed thus far.
Oh wow, it's on "lightning deal" right now. That price wasn't there when I filmed this last night! Also, the coupon code will work on Amazon too. The price with the lightning deal and coupon is $949 (before taxes). If yours hasn't shipped yet, might be able to cancel it and re-order with the discount ;)
