06/28/2024. Cyclenbatt lithium battery now only has a 5 percent coupon. No other discount on Amazon. Company called Solorage X has a 100 AH mini for $169.95 and then has a 20 dollar coupon, so it is $149.95. Looks similar to the Cyclenbatt. You're welcome!
Yeah I ended up ordering 2 of these batteries. That is a great price. Here in South West FL you can always use more battery power. and it's hurricane season so I am just adding to my preparedness.
Thank you for the review. I have been looking at 100 AH batteries and the price was hard to pass up. I had some points and a coupon so it was $42.00 out the door. I got 29% off. The 5% and 35% is no longer available.
Ordered mine before field day and it was held up by Fed Ex shipping until after field day. My price delivered after discounts and tax was $176. I must have missed a better deal? I like the battery - glad I got one. For 100 AH it is a bargain. I also ordered a LifeP04 charger that goes to 20 AMPS. It will take 20 amps on a charge with no big increase in temperature. I have a Bioenno charger and decided not to use it.
I think some people are jumping to conclusions before fully looking. Yes, the price went up a little in the last 4 days, but even at $165 it's a steal. Thanks for the tests and info, Mike. Ignore the negative Nancy's.
Yeah typically with the budget batteries they don't actually have low temp cutoff. $150 is screaming deal, that'd be awesome for trolling motors or a small backup bank.
Hey there Mike, The low temperature protection did not kick in, but isn't that because it was rated from -4 F towards 140 F and your freezer only got it to (+)22 F? 🙂 In celcius that would be -20 C to +60 C.... If I am not mistaken, you need a better freezer! 73 from overseas!
That rating is for current output. It is really bad to charge a LiFePO4 battery below 32F/-0C. Low temp protection should have prevented it from charging at 22F.
Per the big yellow arrows in the video showing you where it is and how to get it, it's directly under the 5% coupon. In big green highlighted letters that say save 29%. Click "Redeem".
That deal didn't last long. I've noticed a serious drop in prices on batteries and even more on those all in one solar power banks. It would be great if you could survey the current deals and highlight the better gear. I would love to use any affiliate links you provide. I want to get a couple solar panels. Have you seen the round tube models? Ttyl brother
A good BMS will protect the cells from both over charging and low voltage. With this one, who knows if it will actually work as designed? You'd have to try pretty hard to over charge them unless you're using a variable power supply and are pushing over 14.6 volts into it. Even then it generally takes a LOT before you'd have a catastrophic failure of a LiFePO4 cell. I pushed 13.8 volts into a single cell for about a half hour and it didn't do much more than puff up. Here's a video I did destroying some cells. th-cam.com/video/wZWZ4G4_V24/w-d-xo.html
You only got the battery to 22F and it's rated to -4F so maybe it won't trip until it gets colder. (Edit) OOPS, just read the description. Yeah, it should have turned off.
I have not. I suppose you could do it somehow, but I really like my battery boxes. I can't see how a bag would be very practical, but I could be wrong.
@@hamradiotube I always find myself puting the batteries in Nylon or other fabric soft cases, which protect them, can be fire retardant, and dont add too much weight. The challenge is to add the plugs, fuses and other ports. Also the bags have multiple pockets.
The price as listed right now on Amazon is 249. It would be awesome if it was 149 but that's not what I found-so far. Maybe the company changed their mind?
That is what I call a deal!!!!!!! 100% ordered! I had been wanting to get a bigger than 12ah battery, so this will definitely do the trick! Real benefits of being a patron! Head start! De K1MAZ
The video may premiere in 4 hours from time of me writing this but the price is already wrong and has almost doubled... This is what happens when you post link backs from review videos as the sellers can see that activity and will elevate the price until activity slows. Additionally, the sellers and makers will send out items to reviewers like this channel with a fictitious price and once your views are published later they elevate the price. This practice is blatant and common knowledge.
I don't know what Amazon you use but it's still there for me. Looks like they changed the coupons to 5% off and 29% off though. Thanks for the negativity.
Just bought one after watching video. Discount has been changed 5% and 29% instead of 35%
Still a good deal though.
Thatswhat I am seeing also! 5%+ 29%
@@chrissewell1608 Now just 29%
Glad to see someone finally test the max surge current discharge. That helps the golfcart market know if the batteries work work for them.

It looks like it would fit into a "go box"
Yeah typically with the budget batteries they don't actually have low temp cutoff. $150 is screaming deal, that'd be awesome for trolling motors or a small backup bank.
Thanks for sharing this video. I purchased one on the basis of your test results. In the future, please wear safety gear including a face shield.
MIKE - is there a cable you recommend to turn those 2 connectors into anderson power poles ? Time to build a box around that 😊😊😊
Does the BMS disconnect as it gets close to full charge, indicating the cells are hopelessly out of balance?
Mine didn’t have low temp either!
I just noticed description now says purchases made after June 14 come with accurate low temp protection. Hmmm
Well let’s hope so.

Nice video I’d definitely buy it for that price
Pretty impressive!
Not bad, huh?
The battery market is becoming very competitive and I feel that the price may be coming down. This seems to at least be the trend as of right now.
I only see a 5 % coupon.
Where do I get this for 149. Because I don't see it

Layman question. Will this battery as a mini possibly work on a trolling motor and give us enough Life as a normal lithium battery?
I've been using a lipo4 for 100 amp power battery for my trolling motor.. It was a power Queen but I'm sure it's similar works fine
Can't be shipped to New Zealand which is a bummer
That really sucks it's so hard to get LiFePO4 batteries there.
And like before Mike made me spend money..ordered
As the battle moron I am is there any concern with over charging the cell is that a potential issue with a bms that doesn’t trip

Well after watching the birth of a new whole in the ozone 😂 I’m not gonna worry about over charging thanks Mike

MIKE - is there a cable you recommend to turn those 2 connectors into anderson power poles ? KB2GCG
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.
@@hamradiotube If I wanted to connect the battery to an Anderson Piwer Pole distribution “block”?
You make your own cable..2aw Into a 40amp Anderson plug..or just make a battery box for it..
My comment got deleted...
Have you ever considered doing a battery bag (soft case) instead of a battery box?
I have not. I suppose you could do it somehow, but I really like my battery boxes. I can't see how a bag would be very practical, but I could be wrong.

No

Yeah buddy! Kinda hard to pass this one up.
tiny cheap and light sure seems sus.
Its no longer $149. The 35% is now 29%>. Bummer
Yeah I just saw that. Still pretty dang cheap!
Not 149 bit 249 so it toooo expensive! Not even 149!
177 dollars
lol no 35% off , just for youtubers I guess lol😂
The 5% is gone.

Not true… discount went from 35% to 29%…. Still a good deal.
164.99 currently. If you're smart enough to click the coupons. Certainly not double, but it did jump $15.
I have no coupons showing up so it is $249 on my screen.. I guess not everyone gets the same thing.
