I have a facebook group in Danish where we build LFP batteries for our boats and since I opened the group I have recommended Basen Tech as being a reliabel supplier of GRADE A cells...
Now my frinds have bought 16 x 304AH CATL and they do not seem to be GRADE A. QR code seems to be scratched...
Hi all!
Need som advise regarding buying a 12V 600AH or 900AH battery bank for a 50 foot sailboat for a friend. (8 or 12 cells)
A year ago I ordered 280AH EVE cells from basen and two other friends did the same as well.
All went fine and we received 3 packages with undamaged cells and a 200A...
I have similar experience as the thread starter....
I ordered 4 x Lishen 272Ah cells plus 6 bus bars and 200A DALY SmartBMS from Basen Tech. It took me so much time to decide which type of cell to order for my application. I wanted the cells that could take the highest discharge current for my...
Hi,
How does the DALY 200A SmartBMS determine the State of Charge? We have seen the meter be at 100% just after top balanced 4 x EVE 280AH cells were connected
Now when we topped the battery up at 14.3V the SOC said 93%
How is this determined? Is the BMS integrating the Amps or is it just...
I am actually getting more and more confident that my setup for the bow thruster is going to work.
I will connect the batteries without BMS but be using an active balancer circuit that I just ordered:

BTW I just learnt that LiFePO4 cells are quite...
You can still discharge LFPs below 0 degrees C. But charging requires heating them up before you start charging. No big problem just turn on the diesel heater for a while :)
Exactly!
I know what you all are saying, I will continue connecting the thruster directly though. And then the two winches connected through BMS and charging / balancing through BMS.
As said before - the thruster is only used in very short bursts when I arrive at a harbour single handed.
Well my Max Power retractable 12V is rated at 446A 4.8KW and 2C of the 272AH Lish is 540Amps.
The datasheet of these cells says 2C for 60 sec. I guess I use the thruster in bursts of maybe 5-10secs and for the thruster I will go without BMS. I WILL connect a BMS though for an electric winch and...
