I have a very similar set up DIY with a 200a JBD I found having the bus bars connected the same way as shown caused cells 2 and 3 to not “current share” and always had lower capacity. By removing the 4 way cross bar and connecting them in diagonal manor corrected the issue. At 11:17 you can even see cells 2 and 3 are the outliers. I’d wager it’d get worse and worse if you cycled it 5-10 times. With the small balance current of the JBD it’s going to be working hard. I do say this is as close to what I want in an off the shelf battery, love the serviceability and allowing you to change parameters of the BMS.

They did send me a message and told me to run the battery down and then charge it back up but it’s still only came up to 81ah. Hopefully they will have me try something else 🤞🏻.

Impressive battery. In my yacht I have a little different need and use. I currently have 13 Valence 12xp-27u batteries all in parallel. The advantage to me for this is these need to start 2 pretty large diesel engines. Each BMS is capable of 150 amp continuous and 300 amps for 30 seconds. I have been able to start an engine with 4 of these batteries, but the wiring has to be perfect or the BMS's shut down in a cascading event. So I have 6 wired perfect and the other 7 connected not so perfect. A little odd because the boat came with wiring for 2 completely separate battery banks for Port and Starboard. But unlike lead, I can most likely still start one engine with 5% capacity remaining and definitely the little 12kw generator engine that can recharge the batteries with the on board charger or the 2kw of solar. Also, this battery is not really suited for storage in the bowels of a boat and would start to rust and corroded in short order. But with all that being said, this would be a great battery for an RV or home storage. Thanks for the video.

With regard to comment noted at the end of the video about using multiple smaller batteries in parallel, there is another advantage to that setup not noted. If you install a disconnect on each of the single smaller batteries you can isolate them if one of them fails. Then you won’t loose the entire battery capacity. Yes, the total cost will be more, but the redundancy is well worth the extra cost, especially in a marine application.

If anything does go horribly wrong with the cells and they start gassing a lot, a steel cased battery could develop enough pressure to produce quite a bad explosion. Plastic cased ones can do it too but the pressure isn't anywhere near as high of course. Not sure this unit could devlop that sort of pressure since there doesn't appear to be gaskets on any of the joints. Odds on it would be pissing gas out of every possible place if that ever happened but having vents doesn't hurt.

12.8V though. Using a 12V architecture pretty much stops making sense once the storage capacity gets that high. Not only do you want to run a higher system voltage at that point... 24V or 48V (51.2V nominal), you also want at least two batteries in parallel for redundancy and robustness. And you want to avoid series configurations for the same reason... no redundancy with series, and less robustness. Also, the charge and discharge rates are fairly poor... it is actually fairly typical for these high-capacity 12V batteries to not be able to charge/discharge at 1C due to the amperages involved, and that's a big problem. 150A charging and 250A discharging? 1.9kW charging and 3.2kW discharging. A single 48V 100Ah battery (5.12kWh) can do 5.12kW charging and discharging and it can do it with only 2 AWG cabling at 100A. In anycase... there are a few minor challenges retro-fitting a higher voltage battery architecture, but the results are phenomenal. Its perfectly acceptable to decide to stick with 12V if retro-fitting a higher voltage would cost too much (having to replacing other pre-existing gear such as the inverter), but anyone doing a new build should go straight to 48V without looking back, even for a small system. But particularly for a big system. Getting stuck with huge, expensive 12V batteries can make for an unhappy camper a few years later. -Matt
@LithiumSolar 3 місяці тому
If you're doing 3kW discharges, I agree that you're using the wrong voltage here. I would not suggest building a 24V or 48V system with these (or any 12V battery). I see this designed for someone who wants extended runtime not maximum power. For example, you can't even run a 300W load off this battery for a full day.
@junkerzn7312 3 місяці тому
@@LithiumSolar 48V architectures are sold all the way down to 25Ah. Even if you wanted a small system, you could still use 48V. The point is that if you want to scale up, you hit a wall with 12V at 1/4th the capacity that you would with 48V. I think you are misunderstanding the difference between amp-hours and the actual energy content of the battery. 12.8V @ 460Ah = 5.89 kWh of storage 51.2V @ 115Ah = 5.89 kWh of storage A 48V architecture at 460 Ah would be over 23 kWh of storage capacity. That would be a huge system. If you want to compare like-with-like, you compare the same storage capacity. So NOT a 48V archite ture at 460Ah, but a 48V architecture at 115Ah. Same number of cells, same type of cells, same size cells, same energy content, different topology. -Matt

@@LithiumSolarI'm not saying that people don't have free choice. There are certainly situations, mostly retro-fits, where sticking with 12V makes financial sense. But that would pretty much the only reason to ever sock yourself with 12V. Literally. One can argue whether 24V or 48V is easier from a learning or upgrade perspective. It is impossible to argue that 12V is a good architecture these days. It just isn't. Free choice != correct choice. As an influencer, people depend on you to provide them with the correct choice. Right? You don't want to sock people with an architecture that massively limits their flexibility a year or two down the line, and you should at least understand and explain that rather than just pushing a huge 12V battery out your channel. People who buy big 12V batteries need to do it for very good reasons, almost universally related to retro-fitting something they already have, and not for dumb reasons. That's what your job as an influencer is. To make that distinction. -Matt

@@junkerzn7312 a 12v lithium bank charges off a 12v alternator more efficiently than a 24v bank charges thru a 12-24v dcdc or even worse, a 48v bank thru a 12-48v dcdc. Additionally, 48v appliances are more expensive and not offered by many mfgs. Then, you have to use a 48v converter for all your 12v devices, and that's another point of failure, and another parasitic drain, and the converter has an efficiency loss in itself, just like an inverter. A 12v bank is optimized for 12v charging efficiency. A 48v or 24v bank is optimized for discharging efficiency and solar charging efficiency. For someone that drives a lot in a place with not much sun, with a vehicle where a second 24v alternator setup would cost 2K, a 12v system makes more sense.

@@junkerzn7312 There is something wrong with your math. This is a 460Ah battery. A 48V version of this would require 4 batteries to reach 460Ah at 48V. That's 4x the weight. I don't know where you're getting 115Ah from. Sheesh.

If you repeat the capacity test with 25°C cell temperature, you will probably exceed the 460Ah rating.
@LithiumSolar 3 місяці тому
I realize 25C Is the standard discharge temperature for most batteries; however, I've never had to adjust temperatures during my tests to reach rated capacities.

The cabinet looks like something they just had sitting around. As a result the wiring is downright frightening, like this is their shop prototype. High power carries genuine risk. This is built like a deadly toy.

That has nice output, but still can't beat my 15Kw Hour 48V, 250A output, home-built 300 pound battery. I have a 10,000 Watt solar array in full sun right now (32X320W Renogy panels), connected to two Renogy 48V all-in-one, Charge controller wall mounted units (5,000W input each) , usually by mid-day all of my batteries are fully charged. That's eight 100Ah 48V batteries, plus a Bluetti AC300 w/ four B300 cell packs, plus an AC200L with B230, and the 15KW hour battery I mentioned first.
@user-zv3lj1ef7l 2 місяці тому
I use a Massey Ferguson backhoe arm to transport and swing the battery into my front door to get it inside. Right now it's 12:30 in the afternoon here in Texas and those batteries are topped off. I learned, if you're gonna play with the big boy batteries you need a backhoe transporter. I don't move any of my batteries without the backhoe.

It's a 12V 460Ah battery. Are you asking some kind of question there?
@Sylvan_dB 3 місяці тому
This 12v battery seems like it would be good for RV usage. Edit: Oh, 4s2p. Ignore the 48v comment :( So it is a 4s4p battery? With those 16 cells they could make a 115ah 48v battery. I'd find that more useful, personally.
@LithiumSolar 3 місяці тому
There are 8 cells, not 16. They do have a 48V 100Ah rack battery but I do not know the cell type.

Not hitting the advertised AH is a red flag for used cells. Always. These batteries have always had horrible reviews and people saying they have no problems I don't believe at all. They don't want to admit that they got taken 😅
