Brand new: 12x 310ah CATL LIFEPO cells to build your own LIFEPO4 battery bank. 3 x JBD (overkill) 150 amp (4S) BMS I ordered them directly from Exliporc manufacturer with the intention of building a 930 ah 12V battery (3x 310ah batteries) but ended up going another route. Prefer to sell...

Did you ever end up doing this? I'm looking at doing similar running 60 amp plus 40 amp dc to dc chargers in parallel in my next Transit build...

Any update on your 310AH CATL cells? I'm in BC, Canada and about to order 12 cells for a 930 ah 12V bank. Are you happy with yours?

Perfect, thank you for the quickly. Your post help me clarify in the manual also. Thankfully I had already also installed the ISO board between DCC and BMS so we're all set. Thanks again

Thank you! I haven't seen any other boxes that have the top rod specifically, but I wanted some extra peace of mind that there is compression and security keeping them held in up top. I couldn't figure out a scientific way to easily/consistently measure the amount of pressure, so I went until...

@Steve_S @Will Prowse You may have noticed in my photo that I installed the Chargery 300A common port DCC after the main battery positive. However as I'm skimming through the Chargery manual again I see that they recommend it be installed after the main battery negative, after the shunt... It...

Thank you! I mounted the pack to the side wall and floor via pockethole screws on each end - they can faintly be seen in the wide angle photo. Was considering using some strapping around the front also but don't think it's necessary.

Thank you!! I consulted many of your youtube videos throughout the process - I appreciate the content you have put out over the years!

Exciting project! I'm just finishing a similar conversion myself - I just did a post on my 2P4S 12V 560AH battery install. Let me know if you have any questions! https://diysolarforum.com/threads/van-conversion-diy-560ah-lifepo4-eve-280ah-cells-and-chargery-bms.20898/

I recently completed my 560AH 12V battery (2P4S) using 8x Eve 280AH cells (purchased through Alex at Basen) and 300A Chargery BMS8T and 300A DCC. You can see it installed in my electrical compartment of my 2020 Ford Transit van conversion. After top balancing to 3.64V, and then leaving sitting...

The price does seem too good to be true. Personally I ordered 8 x 280AH Eve cells through Alex at Basen, and my dad ended up going the DIY route also and purchased 64 cells (2 x 16S2P to make 2 x 560AH 48 Volt battery banks). Keep me posted if you end up completing the order!

Amy gave me this quote when I asked about shipping for 4 of these batteries to FL, USA. Quite affordable IMO. "4pcs 12V 200AH, to the United States (34285), freight: $368 Shipping by sea, to the door, including tax, about 30 days to arrive”

I am going ahead and ordering 8x280AH cells for my own battery, but this was the response I got when I asked about low temp cutoff: " 4. As to at what temperature BMS can withstand, my colleague replied: Generally, the working temperature of BMS has little effect, it mainly depends on the...

I did ask Amy what BMS it has and if it has low temp cut off. She told me she is checking with her engineers and will update me. Personally I'm leaning towards 8x 280AH Eve cells (2P4S configuration) with 600A Chargery BMS and Chargery 600A DCC Contactor, but still curious on the specs of these...

Get resource. I'm thankful I read through it before contacting any alibaba sellers. Thanks for sharing.

Does anyone have experience with this plug-n-play pre-built XUBA 200AH LIFEPO4 battery? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Xuba-4S2P-12V-200AH-Lifepo4-Lithium_1600137902571.html?spm=a2700.icbuShop.84.14.39f3b917IufXCf I've contacted Amy about them and she said they're build with grade A...

What are your thoughts on this? I could go with 2 entirely separate 4s packs, each with a DALY 250A BMS ($124/USD each) with low temp cut off protection. This would give me redundancy in case a cell or BMS failed. MY question is should I rather go with larger capacity BMSs (like 300A each...

Thanks for the info. I definitely want simple, I'd prefer to stay away from adding extra relays and SSRs - so maybe I'll look into the idea of having 2 separate battery banks each using DALY BMS or similar.. I do like the idea of a smart shunt - thanks for the suggestion.

The battery will be in a 2020 Ford Transit Campervan conversion. 500W solar on roof rack and Sterling 60A DC to DC charger (250A alternator on the 2020 transit). There will be a variety of 12v loads (lights, maxxair fan, water pumps, etc), as well as 120V AC loads through 3000W 12v inverter (AC...

Thanks for the info! I do like the idea of having 2 completely separate packs in parallel, each using ~250A BMSs. Other than the DALY smart BMS I haven't been able to find any that are around that capacity. If the overkill BMS was rated for that I would go that route. That's true about the...

Hi all! I'm a beginner trying to build a DIY 560 AH 12V battery (2P4S is my current thought) using 8x280AH cells for $1111 USD shipped to BC, Canada, from Alex at Basengroup. I spoke to Amy (who is well known on this forum) as well but it would cost $1296 USD through her and I've spoken to a...

I'm planning on a very similar system (12v, 560AH LIFEPO4 DIY battery bank) in my van conversion to use with a 3000W 12v inverter for my 1800w induction cooktop and 1400w hot water tank (though I don't plan to run them at the same time). I spent a few weeks researching the pros and cons of 12v...

No I don't really need them. I thought it may be convenient for quick disconnect of the battery for storage outside the van when not in use for long periods/winter, but I suppose I could just run my own battery cables inside the box to terminals.

@Luthj @Dzl Thank you for your input. Very helpful. I will certainly be researching those other BMS options, and no, to my knowledge the Chargery BMS does NOT have bluetooth. I'm not set on 4SP2, certainly still open to 2P4S but just trying to consider the best option for my scenario; the end...

Another Canadian (in BC) here. First off, big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread! I'm in contact with Amy as a result of reading through all 48 pages of this thread (as well as many others on this forum). I'm hoping to order 8* 280AH cells for a 560AH 12V, 4S2P system. I hope...
