Awesome video. I've never seen one of these put together until now. I have a 320 Brand X alt and charge at 14.8v I'm currently using Headway but was curious to know what other lithium banks are available in my charging range?
Could you explain why people use the 2.9ah 75c cells? I would think the 20ah 35c cells would be a more cost-effective bank. Doubling you ah should in turn almost double your c rating. Or at least the 10ah 75c cells. Just seems like a shit load of cells for 30ah vs 18cells with the 10ah 75c cells.
I've been contacting a lot of people here lately researching these and other cells trying to find the absolute best cells on the market and apparently the 2.9 AH cells are the ones that are actually 75c they have a 75c rating on the 10AH cells as well but that is a burst discharge rating not continuous discharge rate like the 2.9AH cells I myself purchased this same bank from NORTHWEST LITHIUM because of the exact reason states above the actual 75c rating instead of a burst discharge rating
I got these cells from sriko. Got the diy kit comes with everything. Just wanted to know if spacers a really needed becuase sriko does not include spacers with this kit
@@Evo-ed7hw 15.5 is fine. Unsure on that charger. I made a video on charging these. You can watch it and get the same thing. Link should be In the description. It’s only about 30 bucks
@808patanderson will that bank u built on this video be good for 8,000-10,000 watts with a 260 amp alternator? Also I seen they say the scib work good from 14.4-16.2 volts. So I wouldn't be good at around 14.8?
When you were running this cell configuration how many watts was the battery able to handle im wondering because it is rated for 15,000 watts but a lot of people are telling me around 8k is a better rating for the battery on a continuous lvl but your videos are the only ones I can find on the 2.9 AH cells
@@808patanderson ok thanks bro dually noted what is the lowest voltage you want to see on the bank to keep from damaging the cells I've been told if I drain them to far the cells can flip polarity
@@SlamryCamry19 honestly I don’t know. Ideal to me is charging at least 15.5 but 15.8-16 is better and not dropping below 14.6 in my opinion. If I see 14.6 I’m backing off
@@808patanderson dually noted I was wondering if it was different from lifepo4 I'm still learning bro sorry for all the questions and thank you for all the help
Should these cells read at 2.4 - 2.5 volts each is that considered good? Is a reading of 0.41 volts a bad cell becuase i recived mine and one cell reads that
You could try to slow charge it individually and see if it holds but I’d say it’s a bad cell. Easier to get a new one to replace it now than when it’s installed.
I seen your charging video on this lithium battery. How exactly do i charge each individual cell? Up to how many volts should i charge it too and also how many amps do i set it too since its a small cell?
That’d take forever lol If cells are close together in voltage they should be fine to assemble. 2.54 2.55 2.56 just example. Then charge bank. If cells are not that close then top balance them. Subscribe to the channel and feel free to ask any questions
@808patanderson ok so to top balance them wouldn't that require running wire in parallel all positive and all negative to each cell which is 60 total cells that would also take a long time doing . U think I'll be ok as long as all are at 2.5 volts even if they read 2.52 2.54 2.56 2.58v all are at 2.5v nothing lower
@@gainz6226 they’d probably be okay. Could always just top balance the lowest and highest to meet in the middle. I spend a lot of time and money on this so I try not to cut too many corners
Is it ok to make a bank even if some of the cells read a little differently on my cells some read 2.52v 2.53v 2.55v 2.56v 2.58v all cells read around that range will it be ok to hook them up as is?
@@keefsosa4992 anywhere in that 2.5 range as long as they are close. If they were like 2.53 2.54 2.55 I’d just hook it up then charge bank once fully assembled with a balancer. Subscribe to the channel 🙏
Non pedestal. Pedestal cells have a slightly bigger stud so could probably carry a little more current in theory but have the same rating. Pedestal bars cost twice as much
The only video on the same cells. Wtf car audio people. Thanks for showing a build.

They’re just specific to the bars
@808patanderson ok so spacers are not a safety thing I thought they were used as extra safety
@@Evo-ed7hw not to my knowledge
@808patanderson will a noco charger be ok to charge these cells. It has a lithium option? And running with a 15.5 volt alternator be good?
@@Evo-ed7hw 15.5 is fine. Unsure on that charger. I made a video on charging these. You can watch it and get the same thing. Link should be In the description. It’s only about 30 bucks
Verynice. Could you build a case for my Scib bank?
I like building them around the battery just in case size varies by bus bars and stuff. Where you located?
What do u think of the lishen lifepo4 cells. I am debating between these scib or the lishen Prismatic banks. I can run from 14.4-15.8 volts
Scib at 15.5-15.8. It will out perform lishen by a lot

15000 is for a “burp”. Reserve runs out after a couple seconds . 30ah of scib for 8k is a solid rating given a 320amp alt or better

I was thinking of changing my lithium from headway to something better how are those holding up
Night and day difference between headway and scib. They’re great
I saw on Poppa Ts channel that you drive an Expedition how do you charge your Expedition that high? I’m trying to use a scib bank in my 08 Mustang
xa xa. The price of bar set is $160!!!
Good quality too 👍🏽
Гле купить такие ячейки ?
Unsure of comment
Are those the pedestal cells or the flat top cells..does it make a difference?
