Hey bro,,I've been watching you since day 1,,the 18650 days😂. I noticed your site is sold out of the 16 pack of 74ah cells. The set that's on sale for $479.00 do you not have any left at that price. I've been waiting a lot time to make a purchase so I can use in my travel trailer....any way I can get some help on this? Thank you for all your information and ideas over the past few years, I love what you do. My 1st pack was a 100p 7s 24volt system 18650s I spun 3 12g wires to make my bus bars and didn't use a bms for the longest time.
Bro that battery box setup looks Professional af and well designed. Once its painted it will look store bought. You do Great work bud. Its impressive and encouraging. I've been fallowing your channel for years now and remember when you designed your very first PCB that held 18650's with the black battery holders and it was stackable/expandable using brass post. Oh and you used resistor leads to make the 5A fuses similar to how tesla was doing their fuses at the time. You have come a long way since then bro and every "DIY" setup i see you put out keeps improving and getting better and better. I respect the innovation and constant search for improvement. Keep up the great work bud. I really enjoy your channel.
It's awesome to see this project progress! Would be good to see a silicone sleeve over the leads that go over the edge of the compression bracket to prevent them from chafing on the edge
This is pretty exciting! I'm following this closely because your development of this particular 48v box is dovetailing nicely with the money I'm saving up for a v1.0 system at my house. In a perfect world you'd offer all these component parts on your site and I'd be able to order it all and we'd be able to refer to a step-by-step video you'd make expressly for this battery.
@jehugarcia E6000 type adhesive / glue is probably what your looking for in order to hold wires / temperature sensors in place. E-6000 is a Polyurethane Industrial Adhesive. I use it in all my electronic projects. You can get it in white also. *** I would recommend using some adhesive also on the balance leads where they connect to the screw terminals! Also on any connection / plugs they do not come loose during shipping! The E6000 is also perfect for that!
@@janszy9735 well I’m sure he’s gonna be in the ballpark of the eg4 batteries…it’s Diy you can use this box honestly with many style of cells it’s the box and it’s functionality,the pcb it’s self is impressive 🙌🏽🔋🔋⚡️
I really like this project. I bought the BMS and like what I see. I don't see where to connect the power switch. I'm sure it's in plain sight, but my excitement prevents me from finding it. Can you or one of your viewers help me with this?
Awesome stuff! I just wished some links were not to alibaba. It asked for my phone #, I entered it, and it said it would not work. Not sure what to try next? I'm in Michigan.. Same phone # for many years.
How about modifying this DIY BOX to a version for the new industrial Inverter BMS from JK BMS with many variants: 24V-48V, 100A-150A-200A, which is the first and only one so far to have active balancing 1A-2A, firmware developed directly by JK BMS, (not from firmware supplier company) and upgradeable, with Bluetooth, with the possibility of a color LCD display, with communication with many different Inverters. Closely developed according to the requirements of future users and with other traditional functions of industrial BMS: with current limitation when batteries are connected in parallel. It would only be necessary to modify the BMS mount and the cut-outs on the front panel.
I probably should know this, what's the advantages and disadvantages to using a 100A BMS vs. a 200A BMS? Which one should I use, or what application would I need one over the other? Regarding this specific 16 cell 48V battery? And which is better, the red BMS sold on Amazon with links on older videos? Or, this cheaper one being sold from Aliexpress with the interface screen? I just bought two of your kits and I'm trying to figure the BMS part out.Thank you.
Advantage - you have more power if you need it. Disadvantage - you pay more for power. The cells can do 200a continuous so no problem there. As far as features, the com ports to inverters…. I think that’s overkill and in don’t see the benefit, the screen is very useful, and the limitited charging and inrush are super useful for people who don’t know what they are doing.
I remember Jehu was trying to make a megawatt battery pack for some company a while ago but I think fell through for some reason. Probably the company couldn’t pay for it or something.
@@jehugarcia is this voltage common in the US? I see alot of 48V and 52V system with these U type mounts. Has anyone used LiPo4 systems on 96V grids? 38kW
This all sounds great, but the zero warranty disclaimer is pretty scary, you could get a whole shipment of junk cells, and have no recourse. That does not seem reasonable.

This is a really awesome project. Thank you.

This is some of your best work. I like the direction you are going. It is the future.
Galvanized is a zinc coating . And yes you can paint it
Awesome project. Keep up the good work mate 👍
Looks super professional!

Love what your doing
Excellent video and excellent design! Did where did you have the openings in the faceplate cut?
I NEED this box. NEED. Edit: Need something sealed, external contacts are a hard no go. Really having a problem finding a box the right size.
Would absolutely love a course from you so i can try to understand when you talk more lol
Please try and organise the shipping to Australians I really want to buy some of your batteries
Take preorder deposits to offset your overhead.
if this is a 16s like my 48v SOK batteries, where I can wire this up in parallel to my existing battery array, that would be amazeballs.
Yes
To find the white thing for the sensor look for thermal adhesive heatsink plaster.
Awesome stuff! I just wished some links were not to alibaba. It asked for my phone #, I entered it, and it said it would not work. Not sure what to try next? I'm in Michigan.. Same phone # for many years.
Maybe put heatshrink on the handles to make them less hard on your hands?
Good idea
Pre-made Boxes are nice, but still too expensive for me I can make a box lot cheaper out of wood, and some caster wheels from HF.
Be better if you could do a 100ah or more around that price

@@jehugarcia thank you, I really appreciate you as a person. Been following you since you were making content about fancy camera equipment
Powder coat would be better than paint
would cost about 5x more also
where can we buy your case?:
I remember Jehu was trying to make a megawatt battery pack for some company a while ago but I think fell through for some reason. Probably the company couldn’t pay for it or something.
I remember seeing it being constructed in a video….at least I think. Not sure how it would get that far without any form of payment.
Yeah those people wanted the PR but they didn’t actually want to built the thing.
Have you thought of selling these to those of us who aren't going to put all of this together?
Nice
I have a 96V system for my shop. can they take the amperage if i set the up in a 96V arrangement?
200a continuous and 600A for 10 seconds
@@jehugarcia is this voltage common in the US? I see alot of 48V and 52V system with these U type mounts. Has anyone used LiPo4 systems on 96V grids? 38kW
48 and 52v is the same thing. Most popular systems are 48v
This all sounds great, but the zero warranty disclaimer is pretty scary, you could get a whole shipment of junk cells, and have no recourse. That does not seem reasonable.
We don’t sell junk
Is there option to stack up 2 or 3 orders without increase shipping cost?
No, fedex charges more shipping the more weight and size of package
$80/ order is a lot to think about. Always wanted to self pickup to build a super budget 48v system but i am in the sf bay area so
. @@jehugarcia
Shipping is expensive no doubt, especially hazardous materials like batteries
@@jehugarcia local pickup?
Yes
could the temp sensors be built into the pcb?
It can be but you wanna measure cell temp not PCBs temp
Sell those bus bar?

Terminals need to be at the sides of the case.
Why? Not a single server rack battery does that….because they are server rack batteries.
Yes akb👍⚡🔋 💡
