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...

Same here, also got it to ~6mm on the Lishen cells I just received.

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...

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.

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.

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...

@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.

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.

The expansion board is for free right now, so you should definately ”buy” it. https://www.batrium.com/blogs/news

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...

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 ;)

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...

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...

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...
