Rrickst29 replied to the thread This Might Be The Fastest Way to Double U.S. Grid Capacity.Thank you for reading my diatribe! In recent years, USA reliability (i.e. availability of power to end users) has been significantly...

I agree with everything you mentioned except this piece, it happens the world over. -
Rrickst29 replied to the thread This Might Be The Fastest Way to Double U.S. Grid Capacity.I'm going to make a long and maybe too-comprehensive reply. Solar farms, large-scale battery-based storage facilities, and wind farms...

And you don't have to synchronize the grids together. The United Kingdom is connected to France via a DC link purely so that they didn't...

High voltage DC is now the king for long distance.

Springs would make sense to me only to unload pressure so that cell compression doesn't exceed maximum pressure.

Without wanting to side-track this spring tension thread, most people have only ever discussed recommended compression from the EVE data...

Are you doing this because that's what EVE says?

Looks clean. Is that 1/4" plate? Why do you use springs?

Interesting to see across the forum everything from spring-loaded restraint to a bunch of cells just sitting on a shelf. I wonder what...

Rrickst29 replied to the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304).The weight total of cells stacked into vertical rows, at only 5.6kg each, would create only a trivial addition in pressure on the...

Rrickst29 replied to the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304).Cheap and easy (and I love the presence of a class-T fuse). But totally inadequate per EVE REQUIREMENTS. (The requirements, for better...

Rrickst29 replied to the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304).YES! I strongly agree with this build strategy. Fixed length bus bars will stress the underlying terminals by holding the distance...

Rrickst29 reacted to AntronX's post in the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304) with Like.
Use flexible or stretchable bus bars. With this clamping configuration cells will move apart as they swell which will put stress on the...

Rrickst29 replied to the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304).Yes, the two plates are cold rolled 1/4" steel plate, type "A36". The eBay seller cuts them clean, at low...

Rrickst29 posted the thread Rick's recommended compression containment for EVE cells (LF280K, LF304) in DIY LiFePO4 Battery Banks.I recently purchased a set of EVE LF280K battery cells. I have built similar spring-loaded compression clamps in the past, but the 1/4"...
