I would not consider this a failure, the battery performed great. Good advice to check the temperature of the terminals when charging and using it and I will be doing so. Just bought a 100ah slimline lithium from kings for my off grid camper build, thinking of getting a second one if I can fit it into the build. I will be charging it up in the next few days. If terminals run hot like yours did I will be exchanging it for another one.
Thanks Craig, I always enjoy your videos. I have 2 x 120amp king lithiums in parallel and so far so good. I will actually check the temperature of the terminals when under load now to see if I have a similar problem. I did notice while charging it once the terminal did get hot. I thought it was because the charger wasn’t attached good. Might need more investigating. Thanks for the vid.
The AH rating of a battery is done with a .2 c discharge rate. 40 amps The fact you got almost the batteries rated AH under a high load like that shows that those are very good cells.
This makes we wonder do other Lithium and or AGM batteries have the same issue. It is certainly food for thought and thanks for exposing an issue that most do not know about.
Thanks for the review mate and good pick up on the lose terminal, a few might think nothing of this but over time that could be the difference between a great holiday and all your gear burnt to the ground.
Good job Craig. I have 3 of the Kings 200A lithiums, a black top (older model) & 2 x blue tops, I’ll have to do a heat & performance test after seeing this. From what I have seen in reviews the Kings batteries are actually fairly decent by most standards, even the higher end batteries are not entirely devoid of this type of processing faults and many (most) over rate their capacities anyhow. This was a good spot & an obvious red flag people need to look out for when buying & installing a lithium battery setup. TFS. Cheers
Like ya channel and style straight up down how it is Aussie style no bullshit just how it is well done thankyou for your time you save us all out here alota f.cking around .
Good review my arse. He put 120 amps through his battery, you gotta be nuts the limit is 50 amps, he wonders why the terminal was red hot. He's completely clueless. The BMS on that particular battery is limited to 50 amps. Your never supposed to put more than 30 amps through a lithuim ion phosphate RV battery. This is exactly why you never ever connect a lithium ion battery to a car alternator it's a big no no because of the 80-140 amp current produced by a car alternator. Those batteries are designed for PV discarges of between 15-40 amps max

Great review. I agree this is work in progress. The internal termination to the output terminals is a bodge! What about vibration on a corrugated road/ moisture etc great for 12 months, what is the waranty period?
Thank you for sharing this battery test as I was about to buy one myself. I for one really appreciated the longer video since I was really interested in seeing the whole process of testing. Well done 👍 You definitely caught my attention seeing your setup for testing and will continue watching now other videos you made and can hopefully learn from your knowledge and experience 👏👏 Cheers Jim
For longterm storage run the generator out of fuel and just either buy fuel when you need the generator or make sure you turn over your petrol using other products. The aging of fuel is more critical in small quantities ie. inside the carburettor. For medium term storage you could turn off the fuel with fuel in the tank and then run out the fuel in the carburettor.
Hi Craig , looks like i had the same problem with hot terminals. My auto elec tested mine by running the air con in my caravan and had no problems. I then went away with the van and the first time that i used it one of my Kings 200amp batteries went up in flames straight away. Kings have just basically sent me away as they don't want to know about it. They also refused to give me a written report. Buyer beware with this product Also Kings service was nothing less than terrible , 6 visits over 4 weeks and not even one phone call
Since you’ve pulled it apart…..have you checked to see how closely the cells are balanced….? If one is out of balance……that may be enough to affect the total output…….
Just wondering if you contacted Kings or 4WD Supercentre regarding this loose terminal? If it causes heat and possible fire risk and is common issue then they should be made aware of it. Thanks for the review.
I did go into the shop in Canberra when I was passing through and mentioned it to the sales team, they said it would be followed up. Never heard back from them.
I am no sparky, but how thick is the square lug/amp rating of this lug connected directly to the +ve terminal? Could this be the potential hot spot if it is too thin and wouldn’t that increased resistance increase the temp at the +ve terminal? It might be the camera angle, but the bus bar on the -ve terminal looks a lot thicker.
Its actually a fuse and will get hot. That is where I suspect the heat is building up not the loose connection. The fuse seems to be missing after the internals are remove from the box but could be wrong. I have been looking at videos all day. I just bought 2x 200ah Queens on ebay for $899. I cant find anything about them hope they are good.
@@sparkletornado5890. I retested with the terminal fuse both on and off and it really made no difference to temperature. It was the loose terminal that created the issue. If I get a chance I’ll do it on camera and upload the footage.
Thanks for checking. At 158amps you only need 0.0064ohms to produce 160w. You can use the Kelvin measurement to check very low resistance. I got my Queens batteries today. They look good I did not get the kings after this video and another teardown video. Do you buy them to test? The queens is $449 online free shipping atm. @@craigsolaradventures
just out of interest .... would you have lost those amp hours due to the bad terminal and how many hours did it take to run out with the heater on drawing what was it 1500 watts i live in the UK and these batteries are expensive thank you in advance if you answer
in a competive world i would buy the battery that goes over it's rating and a lot do . lets say by 3% and this one is about 3% under making a difference of 6%
If you tighten the loose terminal would the temperature drop? Love to see it if you haven’t destroyed the battery. My boy is looking to get in camping and doesn’t want to spend a lot of money. Kings products seems to be a good starters pack to see if he enjoys it.
Yes the temperature would normalise if the terminal was tightened. However as the terminal in question was inside the battery you have no way of doing it without removing the lid. This obviously voids warranty and the average person would not normally check this of even know they had a problem that potentially could cause a fire.
Craig is right of course, tightening the terminals would normalise operation & it should run cooler. While this could be a concern with ANY lithium battery, now you know how to check for such a potential issue by testing the battery under a decent load and stress test all your connections before putting a system into service. I have a fair bit of Kings gear myself, I have to say for the price point, it is pretty hard to beat, and the batteries and inverters are probably the best value you will find, there are a lot of name brand batteries & inverters that aren’t as good and cost 3 times what Kings charge. I think Kings products would be a perfect way for ur young fella to get into the camping scene, if people looked after their gear better it would last longer & Kings gear is no exception, I have seen guy’s that have had a Kings side awning for over 3 years without issue, while many others complain they are rubbish, it all comes down to how you look after ur gear & if it is a bit cheapish & substandard, then take more care of it. Hope he has a ball with it.
@@MikesManCave That is correct, and he also shows the temp on the negative terminal which did not get hot because it did not have a loose connection like the one on the positive terminal.
For the price I and a lot of other people wouldn't call this a "failure" surprised the heck out of me. For a easy fix loose terminal I'd save atleast half my money..
Most Chinese lithium ion batteries have only 55-60 % of their stated amp hour reserve. I wouldn't buy simply because they are only 50 Amp BMS, bear in mind the last 10 amps cannot be utilised due to the voltage dropping to under 11 volts which won't run even a 12 volt fridge
Did you watch the test ... he gets 193.9Amp hours out of a 200 AH battery claim - Close Enough for me . I also successfully ran my fridge for 4 days without recharge on a 120 AH Kings Battery . Thats good enough . These batteries have passed most tests I have seen . Another test done by Lock your Hubs got 136 AH out of a Kings 120 AH Lithium . I suspect Kings are putting a ton of pressure of overpriced competitors .@@user-wh5ox3cz3c

the loss of amp hours could is likely loss by heat from the terminal. heat is power being converted to heat.
