    To those people wondering, these are GENUINE (Panasonic)Tesla 2170's. The company purchased a new Model 3 battery module, then carefully extracted each cell so they could be used for many other purposes(smaller battery packs, etc). Once extracted, each cell was cleaned up, tested, capped, and re-wrapped. You can see the video by clicking the link below.

      You're welcome Steve. I use a 1.5A or 3A charge rate. The 1.5A only resulted in a slight temp rise, and the 3A only a little higher. After waiting 30 mins, the tests were carried out. When the cells were only slightly warm after full discharge, I recharged them. Thanks for watching, and be sure to share.

    My 13 series 4 parallel bike battery used 21700 batteries. The BMA allows charge up to 54.2 volts (4.17v per cell). The BMS then cuts power off at 41Volts(3.15volts per cell) what energy does the test cells give out over this range.
    The battery pack is sold as 19.2ah but to discharge that amount of energy it has to be allowed to drop to all the way to a level below that which is viewed as a safe operating voltage range.

  • @batterymooch
    @batterymooch 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Interesting cell, thanks for this video! I suspect that the 15A rating might be a bit optimistic for decent cycle life considering the temperature that would be reached at 15A. Will you be doing any cycle life testing?

    • @electronicsNmore

As for the Tesla cells, given that salvaged ones are widely available at very decent prices I wonder why we do not see more ebike / escooter packs made with them. I am looking at building a 72v / 100 Amps pack and was looking at LG Mj1 but these in a 20s10p would be cheaper and give me overall higher Ah. Am I missing something ?

      electronicsNmore an interesting set of power cells to comparison test are the 30T, 40T, and P42A. As the discharge current levels increase up over 25A you can really start to see the performance improvements that the 30T can bring with its lower DC IR. The P42A and 40T win out at lower current levels due to their higher capacity.

  • @etmax1
    @etmax1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    First I would like to say that the capacity the manufacturer states should be the absolute minimum the cell has but due to the temperature behaviour of Lithium Ion cells, this should be stated at a particular temperature. I did some testing on Li-ion cells and for example that at -10C they lost around 70% of their capacity

    • @electronicsNmore

      Just drive it, but don't drive like a maniac. If you have issues with right foot control, pu it in chill mode.
      To drive efficient or increase range do the following:
      Avoid hard acceleration and deceleration which is causing high current flow thus increasing losses due to the internal resistance of the cells.
      Minimize the use of recuperation, try to coast instead. The smoother you drive the further you go.
      You should get easily 150Wh/km or less. In winter 180Wh/km.
      Preheat the car from plug power if it's cold.
      Set the batt charge state from km or miles to %. and use the built in Navi wherever you go. So you know if you get to the destination and back with one charge.

      Tesla used 18650 cells from the beginning on because they were available in volumes. Tesla then developed a very good solution for temperature managment which is perfectly suited for the smaller cells, so that each cell can be cooled or heated better than the bigger prismatic oder pouch cells. The additional weight maybe a small disadvantage.

    • @Psi-Storm

      Cylindrical aren't that bad in weight/energy. They can be easier air cooled than the other formats. Prismatic are heavier and more expensive per Wh, but easier to work with. Pouch is lighter, but harder to cool and can be problematic with expansion.
