Vatrer 12V 200Ah... amzn.to/3AU3lca
Today we'll be testing out the 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 battery from Vatrar. This is the "plus" version of the 200Ah battery meaning it's built to withstand 200A continuous charge and discharge.

Vatrer 12V 200Ah... amzn.to/3AU3lca (affiliate links)

@AndyMcBlane Год назад

Great video as always, keen to hear what the manufacturer says!

@Vatrer Год назад

Our battery definitely has low temperature protection function. We just updated the internal structure. We will only update the battery without reducing functionality. Our 200ah battery has three temperature sensors, you need to put the three temperature sensors together in ice water at the same time, it will detect it, and then it will stop charging the battery.

@AndyMcBlane Год назад

@@Vatrer If the temperature sensor was disconnected I would like to think the BMS would throw an error / refuse to switch the FETs

@tsp2jxd Год назад

@Power Vatrer - is that how low temp sensors are supposed to work? If the one lead senses low temp, that should be enough to turn off the BMS. Epic fail.

@AndyMcBlane Год назад

@@Vatrer I guess we will wait for Mike to test and get back. I just can’t see a genuine failure case where it (low temp cut off) worked at the factory, but doesn’t work on Mike’s desk if the unit was properly designed and tested.

@jacintobernal7954 Год назад

Hello, thanks for your great information. I bought 2 of 200ah and one stopped charging after 9 months and despite doing everything that Vatrer asked me, it did not comply with its 5-year guarantee and only told me to buy a new one Vatrer is not a responsible company, so if you buy, you know, don't get scammed. In the end, I lost more than $600 because it seemed like a good company, until this happens to you and you realize that it is not. Blessings

@AveRage_Joe Год назад

Great Review! 1 other thing I saw in video was the nylon nuts. Looked like every post with a balance lead and main positive/negative lead wasn't even touching the nylon which explains why it was so tight. Did you happen to check the others? A good rule to follow for nuts is to have a least 1-1/2 threads showing on top of ANY nut.🤘

@Scott-ig1zd Год назад

@explorenaked Год назад

Great review. One thing I saw that could be an issue. The nylon lock nut you referred to from the BMS to the negative post was not fully engaged into the nylon which makes it no better than a standard nut with no lock washer. That's why they torqued it down so much that it dug into the ring terminal. In a rough environment, like an RV, it would eventually come loose.

@cmthumboldt6896 Год назад

Try putting all temp sensors in ice water, it might average them to make decision. It may also use the temperature plus the charge rate to determine if batteries are safe to charge. It could be more complex than you think

@docbooth8834 Год назад

Excellent video. Get a breath. I am not a fan of aluminum conductors be they buss bars, cables or straps. With the capacity at 200 amps there is going to be sufficient heat to warm those bars up and expand. Where is the goop, grease, etc. for the connections. With the aluminum conductors swelling and shrinking unless they are chromed there is a problem. Still with chrome there should be a fine layer of goose grease preferably Ronny Red grease. The ny-lock nut is good except for the "one use scenario". We all reuse them but that does not make it right. I never have trusted "one shot parts", even on the first shot. Still, better than a smooth nut or a kick there. I love these lithium cells. After 45 years of babying lead acid banks large enough to run a regular house for weeks or one 125 VDC motor for 72 hours or until it went up in flames, I see lithium batteries as amazing. Still, this battery is a "PLUS" and is rated at 207 AH. 202 AH is just another scratch in the finish. Thanks for the education.

@jamest.5001 Год назад

Hopefully they will fix the BMS deal, yeah low temp cutoff isn't a deal breaker for me either, I keep my stuff inside, and it doesn't get that cold in NC for long anyway, I would still rather get raw cells, I need about 400-600ah 12v bank, and eventually about 2000ah 24v, or 1200ah 48v bank, if I go to 48v, (I really need to do so badly, the number of charge controllers is crazy, and I need more, 2x more, with 2x the pv) It will be a while before my 24v bank needs replaced, 1000ah+ liion, I'm just nervous having all that LI- NMC in the house, if I could replace it with LiFePo about 1000ah I'd take the loss, until I could add more, I will probably buy a few cells per month, or maybe save the money and buy at once , after I find a good reasonable supplier, I'd like to get the BYD BLADE cells, in about a year or so, but these batteries are almost tempting, for the 12v bank anyway!

@TimShelnut Год назад

So I pulled the trigger on (2) of these, in 100ah, on CyberMonday. Will’s Review had me (discouraged).

I made them Assure me, whatever that’s worth since I won’t be ripping them apart, but I wanted it in Writing in a private email exchange, that they Crimp and no longer solder ! The Nyloks hadn’t become evident til I saw your Review. My decision took A LONG time, and I had whittled a Long list down to Weize and Vatrer, based solely upon economics. Reputable Docan Power came out with one, but No Reviews to date and I seldom feel “lucky” in rolling dice on unknowns. The Vatrer came in with a significantly Lower FDC (final delivered cost) than the Weize, and at the end of the day, my decision was to $ave and use the Savings for an AC Charger.

The nuts are called: "nylocks." The nylon degrades when exposed to heat, and one didn't look like it was fully engaged. If the bolt/screw doesn't protrude through the nylon, the locking action is lost. Fiberglass reinforced strapping tape ... across the BMS heatsink?! Strapping tape is meant for reinforcing packages - not for electronic assemblies! That tape will fail with time when the adhesive deteriorates. And that time will be short when exposed to the heat from the BMS. You'll end up with a sealed plastic case full of loose items rattling around inside. Shoddiness!

@@DCGULL01 Of course, it is impossible that directly falsely advertise our products like this by ourselves.

Great video! However could have done with some fire🔥 so I'll have deduct a point and can only give you a 9 out of 10

Why would you want to see fire in a battery review?

What do you do after these after you tear them down?

@LithiumSolar Год назад

I don't know yet. I have a big shelf full of them lol.

Is there a chance you can sell it to your Loyal subscribers? 😏 Regards from New Zealand... I Love your work :) Forcing these companies to improve :)

That Nylon Locking Nut isn't even engaged because the stud is too short.

@LithiumSolar Год назад

I'm pretty sure they had some kind of thread sealer on the short studs. If you look at the nut I held up, you can see flaky stuff on it.

Can you please review the Vatrer 460 ah battery

@LithiumSolar 11 месяцев назад

I don't think I am going to review any more of their batteries due to questionable quality/quality control.

@user-iq8hn6yt9f 11 месяцев назад

@@LithiumSolar most of us rivers do not travel in cold weather and could care less about low temp shutoff being a necessity. I do thank you for your reviews and teardowns

@jackmarx3447 Год назад

Would you buy this battery? Do you think the company will be around for warranty replacement? Do you think this one is representative of all the current manufactured ones or did you receive a "special" one?

@LithiumSolar Год назад

I really don't know. I highly doubt it's a "special" one sent for review; however, company has not demonstrated adequate knowledge of internal components to my satisfaction.

@uhjyuff2095 Год назад

maybe they can update the firmware of the BMS so it works with low temp protection?

@Vatrer Год назад

Our batteries definitely have low temperature protection, so you can buy with confidence. then go back and test

@quoleo Год назад

Do you have a new link or a battery you would recommend since this one?

@LithiumSolar Год назад

I didn't realize the Amazon listing was dead. My recommendation for the 12V 200Ah class would be the SOK www.currentconnected.com/product/sok-sk12v206-lifepo4-battery/?ref=lithiumsolar it costs a bit more but it''s sold and serviced by a US company and backed by a 10 year warranty. If you're looking for budget and don't require low-temp charging protection, LiTime is a solid choice (previously known as AmpereTime).

@@LithiumSolar thank you. I watched a ton of videos and yours made sense, thank you
