    I bought cells from Amy and Hayley. Top balanced all 160 cells. Their QC ducks! Only one battery out of 10 made it past 3.5V/cell without a 280 mV imbalance or runner over 3.65V. Even my Trophy 220aH!! The one with the JK BMS 2A balance does okay. We should not have to install a 5A balancer on new "Grade A" cells. SunFunKits claims true Grade A. I will try 18650 store.

Other than that, very happy with them. Getting them in 2 days is a big plus. But I see the price has gone up a bit sense purchased. All and all, still think they are a pretty good deal.

    Hi, thank you for all the videos you do.
    I have 32 x Eve 280ah cells on the ship to me.
    I am wanting a good bms.
    I have Victron multipus 5000.
    so fully loaded i am needing close to 200amps discharge.
    I also have 24solar x 330w panels on my roof, running through 4x victron 150/85 mppts to charge my 12x 2v @ 1250ah gel batteries.
    I believe the LF280k has a1c charge rate.
    Is there a bms that can handle 250amp charge?
    I am considering charging the new lifepo4s from 18 panels and 3 mppt, each supplying around 80amps in good conditions, therefore 240amps.
    I used Daly 200amp in my bus build, but that is only charging at 40amps though house power supply.
    I need heavy duty for my off grid shed but can't be sure which bms to choose for high charge solar.
    What's your thoughts?

      16 of the EVE LF105 is $1053 shipped. Add in another $200 for a quality BMS of your choice, maybe $10 in cabling and you're looking at $1263 compared to the $1739.

    • @LithiumSolar
      @LithiumSolar  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use 0.2C as it's the industry standard for capacity measurements. That said, many of these big LiFePO4 batteries have standard discharge rates of 0.5C or 1C. I still stick to 0.2C so there is a fair comparison across the board in addition to it being a better reflection of how I see them being used in the solar/off-grid space.

    perhaps there is something i am not thinking about? thanks again for the video btw
    oh, i see the voltage range of lipo is not what i thought it was, 3.2v nominal, 2.5 is 0% soc, and 3.65v is 100%, i assumed 4.2v was the 100% soc resting voltage

      Free shipping helps but the price is still too close to already built options in my opinion. I think the last set of 4 chins 105ah batteries cost me $1290. to my door. I have 2 sets of 4 chins, and 2 sets of 4 of the zooms batteries. Always bought 4 at a time and never broke the $1400. mark. With the exception of an over priced Hsky 48v battery I bought from Big Battery. They were the only place that had anything available at the time when I needed it. I would have loved to go the server rack route but they were always out of stock and on backorder.

    Excellent video, very informative. As for the 280 ah batteries, could you please, explain to me how to connect 8 of these batteries to make 12v 560 ah battery bank? Would I need 2 BMS's? Thanks in advance.

    • @kingsamoanOG
      @kingsamoanOG 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      So 4 of these batteries cells would create you a 12v battery pack thats why they sell them in 4s because they are 280ah 3.2v each when connecting all 4 it creates your 280 ah (3.2vx4=12.8v battery pack) so if you bought 8 you would be able to create 2 battery packs so you'd have 2 280ah 12v battery packs and depending how you run them in parallel or series you could have a 24v 280ah battery setup or keep in 12v depending on what type of inverter you are running and id run a bms for each battery pack you create. Hope that helps a little im still learning all this myself Goodluck brotha

    These look intriguing, and would be a great science project for my 10 and 11 year old boys. We already built a mini solar generator using 28 ah lifepo4's 2 in parallel. Being retired makes the cost point sweet as well. I get the putting the 4 cells together and the bms and even the balancer. What I don't get is how to put these cells into a working form as a common battery -- or what this 60 plus year old knows what these batteries could resemble. Any help would be appreciated.

      18650 Battery Store is not manufacturing this products. They're a distributor. It doesn't make sense for them to provide the warranty on the product. The 1 year warranty is plenty sufficient in my opinion. Battle Born is a manufacturer for which the cells they use are a component of the product they create. It makes sense for them to warranty their product for longer. Additionally, 18650 Battery Store warned me ahead of time that they were considering a price increase due to the ever-rising cost of everything.

    Something is not adding up here... 3509 Watthours / 282.40 = 12.425 Nominal volts or 3.106 v/cell. Nominal voltage for LFP is 3.2 volts. So it should be 3509 / 12.8 = 274.14 AH / cell.
    It should have tested to 3584 watts / 12.8 = 280 AH / cell. I think you took the out going amps as the capacity instead of calculating capacity based on the watt hour which is to divide total watt hours / nominal voltage.
