  • Post in thread: Can i connect these batteries to make 36V?

    Hey everyone, So i built 2 batteries last year and have a question on if i can/should put these 2 batteries in series. I made a 24V ~55AH batter for my trolling motor and a 12V ~105AH for my starter. Both are LiFePo4 with their own BMS. Can i put these in series to have technically 36V ~...

Switched to better busbars as well. everything else, the same even the cells at 105. I am having an issue of 1 not balancing. Ive...

  • Post in thread: wtb batter load tester

    Looking for a battery load tester for sale. I know i can buy one that is easy to use from Aliexpress that Will has suggested and i will probably buy one. But i wanted to check here if anyone wanted to sell one which would have faster shipping than 1-3 months due to the Covid19 going around.

    Hey guys, Im using a 12V 105ah LiFePo4 with a daly 4s 60A BMS. I am using this as a starter battery for an engine and it looks like the engine is hitting a peak 240a so it triggers the BMS. besides purchasing a new BMS can i install a 300amp solenoid relay between these for that to provide...

    Hi All, I recently got into building my own LiFePo4 batteries and I am looking suggestions for chargers. I will be using a 12v 100ah battery in by boat as my starting battery and hopefully will soon make a 24v version for a trolling motor. Any suggestions on a charger that can do both 12v and...
  • Post in thread: Increase BMS peak amp

    would i be able to bypass the BMS for just that load while having other devices run off the BMS? I'm worried of running it lower than the cut off voltage.
