Those cell specifications need to be compared with reality. Reality wins bud. Properly compressed cells don't expand like the specs...

Because threaded rods are elastic and they didn't expand so there was no incredible increase in pressure. Also the "don't crush them"...

The only issue with over pressure is crushing, a cell that is not being crushed when empty (which is when you will compress them) will...

There is calendar aging data that one seen for really hot cells (40c+). But it's all guesswork as far as I know. Until someone measures...

Get a dc ampmeter, hit all three lines and you'll see numbers that add up a lot better than 8+10=20. Then learn to stop worrying so much!

A is better, not B. Remember internal resistance is largely inverse of capacity. Hopefully that can explain why A is better in a way...

Compression is the manufacturer instruction. The only reason why it's unclear is that people won't know or acknowledge results until...

Voltages on lifepo4 have little meaning and the cells we buy are factory rejects that have different voltage curves, especially at the...

You need a better balancer. I'm running the 15a neey currently, it's not ideal but it works. You need to be able to set it to only...

Why not? It's a lot of work is why.

Reading some of the above, people like to play with their cells and go through a lot of effort. At a minimum all you need to do is...

I personally used a scale to judge the force on the screws, then repeated that amount of torque. I'm practice you want tight (you...

You'd be better served by getting a balancer that can handle it, then just connecting everything and putting it in use. They have really...

Yeah it is not the brand, but the chemistry. Cell compression was always advised. I have 24 cells compressed together and see zero...

I might lower the voltage to use something like the Orion BMS (180S). But for an inverter you're limited to something line a Sandi...

I just did my customery alibaba check on cell prices and thought I was looking at a mistake of scam. WOW they have come down a lot...
