finally got this battery in service, went from 4x 220 ah 6volt lead acid to this.... 235lbs and 220 useable ah's to 64lbs and 280 useable ah"s and i liked how it looked so i replaced the front access panel with lexan aswell so you can see in from the front even while its closed to see the...

thank you sir.. yea im new to this lithium stuff aswell but love building so i came here to learn enough of the technical aspect from the people that know what their doing so i could build one of my own and am very happy with it!

yes it is quite stout... i figured it had to hold alot of weight being mobile so i went with 1/2. 12lbs on top of the components edit.... by mobile i mean it can be unplugged and removed from RV to take camping possibly! never thought about it but i do have the first rendering but decided...

i just finished buikding this and capacity testing and it passed 287ah. i made it mobile so we could take it camping if needed, usb power socket w timer, and a batt monitor. getting ready to mount in my RV and i think i may build another. im editing build clips for my youtube plus the...

yup i have 4 6v wired for 12v weighing in at 260lbs... getting ready to replace this battery setup with 4x 280ah lithium cells almost the same usable capacity at at less than half the size and only 45lbs.

lol, that seems a bit extreme... the fact that you say things to yourself dont bother me, the fact that you answer yourself is another story all together! ive had several sports cars since the 90's always driving like a teen in a sports car with extensive stereo systems using these very type...

lol only if its wired correctly!

wow, these are what i remember seeing somewhere but couldnt find them anywhere online so i bought the ones i posted.... good eye!! i may still get a few of these, ill figure out how ill connect everything once i get my cells which should be in a few more weeks!

lol its funny you pointed those amazon crimps out, i think will just smashed those very crimps in one of his vids i just watched!

yes, i considered that and figured this system will never push more than 50amps or so but i may reconsider the few terminals on batt lugs and bms... thanks for the input! yes they are audio connectors which i thought would be fine since this rv system will be moderate aside from the occasional...

lol i had it all wrong, it says copper with nickel plate the only issue i thought was sitting flat on terminals but a little grind here or there i thought these would look clean and easy to upgrade cells and reuse these

not sure but i think i remember it saying it was solid brass which im sure is not as good a conductor as copper and was coated with zinc to prevent corrosion, im going to go into my purchases and see exactly

im building a diy battery setup for my rv, ive already ordered 4 eve 280ah cells and the overkill solar 120a bms will recommends on his sight, once i get the cells from alibaba [if alls well] i plan to order 4 more to make an 8s 12v system so needless to say ill be changing this around from 4s...

manually putting your converter into boost mode [pushing the charge wizard button] will force it to charge at 14.4 +/- at 60 amps for about 2hrs or until fully charged and is only charging at around a 0.3c rate but still somewhat quick and from what ive read safe aswell if you let it charge BB's...
