    JBD AP21S002

    I am connecting balance leads and missing clear guidance on the connection for the last cells in a 16S. Anybody know how this goes? The first connector seems clear enough and takes care of cells 1-13. But I have no 16S guidance on this 2nd nine wire for the last three cells. I think it's easy...

    EVE LF280K welded studs flying off like a bunch of acrobats in a circus

    This sure suggests the job can get done with the right tool and settings. My EVE's through Docan look like it got done right and I've had no trouble.

    EVE LF280K welded studs flying off like a bunch of acrobats in a circus

    I expect this is what we are seeing. I'm not welding experienced but by the looks of the welded stud it seems at least with these Docan supplied cells the same equipment was used as in the YouTube link here. The question I have is, given the thickness of the base being welded onto the terminal...

    Great. I've got 16 of these should be arriving in days.

    Battery cable

    Thank you. I learned something and was already on the right track with 250A fuses before I discovered what else was in the bottom of the JBD box.

    Battery cable

    I'm working to get as fully educated as I can here. I have two JBD 200A BMS's for a 16S2P plan using LF280Ks. They unexpectedly included these two 400A fuses. Does that sound right, a 400A fuse to protect a 200A BMS?

    Ev vs catl? Any difference or just as good

    I thought grade B cells were now so labelled? What is a grade B cell anyway? So far, it seems I have a very matched bunch of new cells. If they are somehow subpar the specs, and in fact, that is exactly what Docan advises for capacity, it seems they do an excellent job producing to this below...

    Ev vs catl? Any difference or just as good

    I don't know, maybe they are "automotive grade", maybe the test report is like an airplane alternator - it's only a special airplane alternator because the stamp on it says so.

    Ev vs catl? Any difference or just as good

    I don't know No By following Master Prowse's capacity testing recommendations Docan's delivery of the welded stud variety was perfect in every visible way, there is no "B" on the QR code. I note and reference their disclosure: "The 280K produced in 2020-2021 cell capacity is around 280+Ah The...

    Ev vs catl? Any difference or just as good

    I have the same question. I just received a first delivery of EVE LF280K's and I'm expecting to find as I test them, what Docan has already advised: 260-270Ah in these. Docan is also testifying that the CATL 280's are delivering 285-305Ah.

    Potential build question, whole home, bad net metering

    Ricker, it appears you have net metering that gives you an even-Steven swap for kWh up to your usage - with a terrible price received for any surplus you generate. Here in Communifornia, this surplus or shortfall is calculated once each year for a "true up" billing or credit. The equal horse...
