I ordered Loctite 263 earlier in the week. Plan on doing the same with my cells as a first action. Obviously keen to follow your progress ?
My cells are supposedly in Europe but UPS tracking is still not active. 60 days since I ordered today.
This is very similar to the setup I am sketching on, so highly interesting!
I'm looking at a 3-phase setup with 3 pcs of Victron Multiplus II (MP2) 5000/70. Connected to batteries in 16s3p, so 48V.
Max charge capacity of one MP2 5000 is 70A, and discharge capable of 4000W AC continuous. I saw...
I just pulled the trigger on 64 pcs of 280Ah Lishen cells. Was planning on doing 16s4p, a blue sea mrbf fuse on each string/pack.
Batrium Watchmon4 and Blockmon8 connected to a Victron Cerbo GX to allow canbus communication and control of the inverters (3-phase setup). A circuit breaker of sort...
I will use 6 AWG wire, but let me clarify my question :)
How long did you make your cables, the length in inches/cm? Want my measurement double checked before I start making 28 cables.
I get it to 11.5 cm center-center when measuring on my paper sketch. I would add I guess 1 cm on top of that...
Received my first 4 boxes today, 16 cells. They look a bit like they could have been wrapped by Basen, but no note in any of these boxes. Grey vents on all 16 cells. Only thing I observed so far is that one of the threads on one of the cells is not as deep as the others. UPS delivered them very...
Sorry, if it was unclear, but Orion clearly doesn't recommend the setup I am planning with four parallel strings of 16 cells each with one Batrium BMS. That is why I asked the question in this thread since I saw @Jejochen running a similar setup as I am planning. Has he, or anyone else, seen any...
Right, that is the idea. I was attracted by the idea of mounting cells in final serial pack with “fixture” before starting to balance them. Since I also have 4 packs of 16 cells each I will use the cables four times. Cables are done, went pretty quickly.
Have my eyes set on the ikea version, https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/finfoerdela-flexible-chopping-board-dark-gray-dark-turquoise-30335898/
Glad Im not the only one looking at cutting board, my wife thinks Im a bitt odd. Seems to be cheapest option though.
Thanks for the comments, so 16s4p is still on the table it sounds like. Now I only have to come to terms with the price of the Batrium BMS with 64 Blockmons ;)
I have no clue, probably others have. I actually sent them an email late Friday to see if they can tell me how their recommended setup for 16s4p would look like. Let's see if they reply. I asked Orion as well, both the company and a reseller. The reseller, https://evshop.eu/en/, already came...
Got my 64 cells from Basen a few weeks ago. One of the cells have a type of sticker for the qr code and some marks on the vent. Tested it yesterday and it came in at 281Ah so I guess it is fine? Will try to test all 4 packs once I have top balanced them.
They were supposed to ship double...
@ArthurEld, how long did you make your top balancing cables? I'm still waiting for my cells but got the material to make the cables today.
Drew the cells on a paper to measure, but would like to be 100% sure before I start creating all cables.
