ADCBatt 12V 100Ah... www.adcbatt.com/products/adcbatt-12v-100ah-lifepo4-battery-with-low-temperature-charge-cut-off?ref=lithiumsolar (affiliate links) ADCBatt 12V 100Ah Amazon.. amzn.to/3DbXy1v ($25 cheaper) This battery tested way above the rated capacity, might be 105Ah cells? Let me know what you think!
One important piece of info I wish you could include in your battery reviews would be to show/reveal the final stage of the initial charge. What was the final voltage? Do the cells seem balanced or out of whack? My new Aolithium has be on a 100ma for three days waiting for three cells to catch up to the runaway cell as the BMS attempts to balance. PITA.
I'm always curious to see a side by side comparison between the battery sent to the TH-cam reviewer, and one purchased by some random dude named Josh in Nebraska. Like, if I'm going to have some hot chick come over to my house, I'm definitely cleaning the place up a bit. I'm scrubbing that toilet, and making sure I don't have any dirty dishes in the sink. I might even do a few push ups before she gets there.
I've purchased many batteries myself and have never run in to trouble either way. The 12V Zooms and 12V SOK were both my own purchases, no issues there either...
Nice review. Using google translate app, the BMS says "Huayan Jingchuang lithium battery protection board, model:HY7100-100A-4G-18" and " Charge 3.65v". I don't think the rest translated correctly.
Just had 2 delivered yesterday, came at identical voltage and seem pretty nice. Thanks for cutting it open, wasn't sure if it really had low temp or not. Great to know it works.
Those are Gotion 105Ah cells. It has thin Aluminum casing and bulging is a common issue in these cells, needs proper compression before charging. And the cycle life is limited I think, may be 1500-2000. Cheaper cells compared to others.
I spent a lot of time looking in to this before - one of the cheaper batteries I reviewed in the past had Gotion cells as well. I think you might have actually been the person whom tipped me off to that fact, can't remember. Either way... I had a datasheet that rates them at 1500 cycles to 70% health then I obtained another datasheet that has them rated at 3500 cycles to 80% health. Information on them is so scarce, and is typically in Chinese, that it's difficult to know exactly what the deal is.
@@LithiumSolar Yeah its really difficult to get the true info, some vendors modify the official spec sheet or make their own translation of the Chinese document. Anyways those are cheaper cells compared to EVE/CALB. EVE is also coming out with new 100Ah cells that have a lesser life and possibly "cheaper", or planed obsolescence!.
Very nice, very adequate cables, and low temperature charging protection. I think (could be wrong, it is difficult to tell from a video) that there is not only fiber board in between cells, but also some foam? As long as you don't open it and start playing with the terminals, I don't think shorting out would be a problem. The cells? Well, I'm not all that familiar with the brand, but I haven't heard bad things about them. The fact it measures around 8% above capacity does let you know they are accurately rated new cells. A dozen or so cycles and should measure just over 100 amp hours. No-name BMS? Well, just like every other pre-assembled battery, but with real low temperature protection for cheap!
Three minutes into this video and I'm really impressed. Let's see if it all plays out! Tested above capacity and the build quality wasn't great, but also not awful. I'd call that a pretty good value, really.
Good review but low temp protection should be a game stopper for outdoor use. Any time I use a LiFeO4 battery I want that protection. One cold night (32F) and the sun comes out (charges) and destroys the battery. One way these could rated is OK for indoors or OK for outdoors. It can freeze anywhere in the US. Why take the chance to lose $379 not to mention loss in production and time to figure out what's wrong?... You are an excellent reviewer on these batteries. It is very helpful for us to see build quality. Amazon now has these for $345.
Just to be clear, this battery (ADCBatt) DOES have low-temp charging protection that works quite well. It was the battery yesterday (Lossigy) that did not.
Hi, you should review and tear down EU market available brands like: Liontron, Elkersolutions, xenes, energiestar, Faam etc. Those are models available on eBay and Amazon in Europe. This year life batteries are appearing here, but we don't have any clue about built quality of those brands. Thanks for your videos!!!!!
I have one and still have one Eaton AGM can I use them together for only five minutes for micro stove then turn Eaton off together, will that five Hurt ADCBATT?
Question. Why do all these batteries say only 4 can be used in parallel? Is this something to do with the BMS? Seems to me many could be used in parallel.
Good question. I don't have an exact answer; however, I suspect it has to do with the ability of the BMSes to interrupt heavy fault currents. With proper over-current protection, any number of batteries can be paralleled in theory.
@@LithiumSolar I think you just nailed it. If there is an excessive current draw with too many batteries the shared load between the batteries would not rise to the point to trigger the BMS's to shut down. Perfect, Thanks!
Hello , Im new to solar and I will be building a grid tied system. I need about 14-16k system. My question: Ive noticed some content creators buy two mppt 6kw inverters and not one 12kw or 13kw inverter, why is that? and my 2nd question. Im limited on space for my solar panel array, I was looking at Trina vertex 670-700watt panels, is there a reason I should buy smaller less watt panels? Thank you and Happy Easter
hi, could you do a time-lapse of the capacity test? jsut sprint through the test ine like 4 seconds... don't know why but it would feel like i assisted the test... anyways, like the videos.
I've done time-lapses in the past. The problem is they generate 100GB+ of video footage just to squeeze it down to 4 seconds lol. I had a off-brand GoPro thing at one point that had an actual time-lapse mode, but it wasn't designed for close-up focusing and wasn't of much use.
Update here. I grabbed 2 for my camper as soon as this video came out and so far they are working great, so one season in the books. I probably drew them down 12 times or so. I have an 1100 watt inverter hooked up and I use a 20 amp charger. The output and charging are working as expected. Prices are coming down so I will probably grab a couple more in the spring or many get the 200 ah version so I have 2 less cables when its hooked up. These will outlive my camper.
at 2:05 in charging section parameters I think there is a mistake that over discharge disconnect of 15 volts I the manual should say over charge disconnect 15 volts ? not over discharge disconnect ? am I wrong ?
@@LithiumSolar did you just played a prank on me telling me that I won an ADCBatt 12V 100Ah? I received an email notification to my Gmail? telling me that I won are you playing with me??
@@LithiumSolar keeps saying code seems right, code length wrong but also says they are ganfeng, not sure if that's a good or bad brand or why i get the weird error message
Nice job again! I am looking for two replacement batteries for my RV this year. Maybe these are the ones, but I still have a couple of months until I need them. I will continue to wait and watch your great videos before making a decision. Thanks!
I see the HSKY is listed as 103Ah. Was it listed as 106Ah before? I did a video showing the insides (one of their demos) and they do appear to be the same cells from what I could tell, just different color sticker on top. Very interesting!
@@LithiumSolar Good point. WIth true low temp ability, this battery is a top contender for me. One thing that concerns me is the rated "Storage temperature: 50 to 85 degrees". That seems very limiting and is far more stringent than its other temperature use ratings.
I didn't come away feeling it had been poorly constructed. From all the reviews lve watched testing 100Ah Li batteries their cells are just slightly bloated...sorry ld chose this ovr the one w/o lo temo cutoff.
I've looked at Dakota Lithium before, but man... they're expensive. $2400 for a 12V 280Ah battery? You can buy 4x 280Ah EVE batteries Grade A from a US supplier for $650. Dakota Lithium has a HUGE markup on those batteries, way beyond their value in my opinion.

"ADCBATT" 😂😂 these battery companies need to use cooler names. So goofy
Not that bad of a battery but kind of ugly haha
I agree .. the names are extremely weird sometimes lol
Yeah I don't know, but at least we can pronounce this one...
@@LithiumSolar haha true
@@WillProwse do either one of you have a list published that ranks price-wise and quilty-wise ranking?
Wow, under $399 and it has a temperature protect. If it was a better build, that thing would fly off the shelves like the Weize battery.
Thanks!

They have two versions of the 100Ah, one of them does not have low-temp protection. I assume you purchased the one with it, but FYI just in case :)

4 year old puffy cells in a so called new battery no way your getting 3500 cycles on those
I'm not sure the date decoder part of that tool works. I use it most for obtaining bits of information, brand name and/or model.

A thermometer on the salted ice water would add a lot to that segment, love the videos.
That is a great idea, thank you. I just ordered one for use in future videos :)
I don't like how close the ring terminal's are to the bms heat sink.
I have one and still have one Eaton AGM can I use them together for only five minutes for micro stove then turn Eaton off together, will that five Hurt ADCBATT?
Its a case of function over form...I like it!
I need to pick your brain one day to get some solar setup for the farm ;)

Also they stuck the cable hold down over one of the vents, not good.
That vent cover actually got pulled off by the time I was done messing with it. That wasn't the best place to stick that cable tie...

Notice the lugs were very near/touching the BMS heat sink on both sides, so could short and negate the BMS' operation
who makes a cheap ( cheap meaning not brand name ) battery that uses grade cells ,that are not pouch cells ?
Seems like a good battery...at least it has low temp cutoff...I am also curious about the cell quality...
I think those are the same cells that the HSKY from Big Battery uses (which is advertised as 106Ah).
I see the HSKY is listed as 103Ah. Was it listed as 106Ah before? I did a video showing the insides (one of their demos) and they do appear to be the same cells from what I could tell, just different color sticker on top. Very interesting!
@@LithiumSolar ah you're right it's 103Ah. I confused the last digit because I have two of them (206Ah total).
Probably built by same company in China..the one brand goes out the front door and the other out the back...rebranding is very common.
That's a pretty good price, but will it last? Widowmaker
Would you recommend these for 24 volt trolling motor batteries in a boat?
Nice in depth review.
How do you think this would handle being loaded in an offroad trailer?
Does the proper low temp charge cut out make up for the poorer construction?
There's not really anything here that's problematic, just cheap.
@@LithiumSolar Good point. WIth true low temp ability, this battery is a top contender for me. One thing that concerns me is the rated "Storage temperature: 50 to 85 degrees". That seems very limiting and is far more stringent than its other temperature use ratings.

Great teardown
This is definitely a battery that I want to look into.
