Ok so status update on my 2p4s eve pack for my sailboat. I've build a battery case with 18mm Thick plywood and threaded rod (nicely packed in heat shrink) to put pressure on the cells. It makes a pack of 66x26x22 cm (lxwxh), which I will be trying to fit into a small compartment of about the...

Thanks for the fast reply.

Hi all, So i started my first build. A 2p4s 280ah eve build, using the electrodacus sbmsO. After connecting the cells together and connecting the balance cables, the electrodacus started and seemed to be working great. However it doesn't give solid power ratings, constantly changing 0,001 to...

Yeah. I did not order a batterybox. Because apperently the box had to be shipped seperately, freight calculated by volume. Meaning price for shipment by sea, was $50 to netherlands. The box was $38. And this was the plastic one..

I have paid $970 /€920 for 8 cells, with shipment, and tax and customs included. Delivery to the door. Got a video with the volts and resistance of each cell. They vary between 0.15 - 0.19 Ohm. Voltages are all exact 3.32. Should i be pleased with these numbers?

Asked about 16cell boxes, here's the reply: " My supplier can provide customization. If it is iron, even one box can accept customization. There is only one problem, if the box is too big, the freight will be calculated according to the volume, the freight will be a little high."

Yeah, for the 280ah cells. The one on the picture is for 8 cells. I am not sure if they have got them for 16cells as well.. amy said to keep me posted on it.

Ok wow, that is a lot information again. Sorry if i misread things, but i find it hard to use the terminology sometimes. Figured something like that would be the case. But to be sure: Building a second 8S pack and connecting both packs in parallel is the way to go? This is what i find hard...

Xuba has battery cases available amy told me today that they found a supplier for the battery cases. They are still waiting for more data to communicate, like dimensions and customisation options. They will be selling them of the shelves really soon. I got a case for 8 cells, quoted at $38 / pcs.

Ok, so here is where i stand in building the system for my sailboat. I am hoping at a final check of you guys before i make my orders. - 8 x 280Ah Xuba cells to create a 8s pack. - Chargery BMS8T 1,2A Link - Victron multiplus 24/3000/70/32 (24V, 3000W inverter, 70A charger, 4A starter battery...

Doesn't the colour control gx monitors all the stuff, a chargery bms does as well, but with a nicer and more userfriendly interface and features? As since the chargery bms has its own controller screen as well, right? Clever one, using the raspberry instead. did you build an own interface with...

Thanks, i was thinking about victron because it seems convenient to have an ATS, a big charger(70A) and inverter (3000Watt) all in one. However, i was hoping to get a good deal for around half the price that a victron costs, by buying all these separated. Buying on Amazon however, includes...

What balance do you mean? a battery balancer is build in a battery charger?? in his video's, Will keeps explaining the importance of balancing cells before you build your battery pack. Is this not the case when you have a LFP battery charger? When i will upgrade my capacity and build 2 packs...

I have been looking voor Giandel, but unfortunately only found those in 12 or 24 to 110Volt, so no good for me. I really dont know what will be the case. I think most of the time closer towards fully charged, because i will be in harbour most of the time. That's why i just thought to balance...

Thank you sohave much for the replies. Still confused about the N.O relays you are talking about. Not sure where to put them in the system... For ATS and inverter, would you recommend going straight to victron multiplus models like the 24/3000 70-16 for €1450 ($1560 US)? It has high warranty...

you are right ofcourse, edited it at once ;)

Getting to the point where i feel confident enough to build my own lifepo4 system for my boat as well. I started a new topic with a load of questions. Hope you guys can have a look at it and help me out? I know about building small 12V systems aboard, but a larger 24V system with lifepo...

That was exactly what i thought..

Ok, so i am checking out loads of video's by will, reading through this forum a lot and are ready to give it a go and build my own Lifepo4 System. This is my first DIY lifepo4 system and hoping some of you could have a critical look at the design, the products i intent to buy and use and the...

That sucks, probably meaning Netherlands will not be any different. Does shipping by their own shipping options means there will be no custom fees charged?

Ah, i see.. got some youtubing to do i gues :sneaky:

And i read a lot about everyone balancing and testing the cells. Offcourse i got the tools to measure the V on each cell, but that is as far as my equipment goes. If all cells are the same, i can just start connecting? And what do i do if they aren't?

So just mount terminals on my batterycase, which connect to consumers?(thinking about using plywood for it. Drill a hole and use bolts to fixe them. No isolation on the wood around? Simple as that?)

I almost dont dare asking, but who is this Will, everyone is talking about? ?

Can you give a simple example of what you mean by this? I really want to try and build my own pack for my boat, but a bit nervous about making fatal errors, especially due to language based misinterpretations...

Thanks for the info. Sounds good to me. Curious about the load test.

Nice, How do they look and feel? Solid and durable? And can you tell if the terminals are solid, or is it possible to 'wiggle' the bolts around a bit? Those, and the quality / real cycle life vs stated on specs are my biggest doubts about ordering. Together with the m6 bolts. Are these big...

Sounds great, got my quotation back as well. $82.67 each, shipping 12 cells by plane for total of $667. Total costs: $1659,- I did however spoke to a dutch lifepo4 enthousiast and he told me to stay away from battery with aluminium cases and go for the slightly more expensive hard-plastic...

Indeed. Keep us posted and share the knowledge. Lets hope they get there soon.

Same here as well

New to the forum, Just to follow this topic. Waiting for my own quotation, but really curious how the quality of the product turn put to be. On dutch television we had a lot of programs about crappy and unsafe batteries from china. Powerbanks exploding, etc. Looking forward to see you findings
