This would be my first battery build. Things look pretty straight forward, but I thought I would run it by the experts.
I was inspired by this build. From this Thread
But would change up the form factor to be 2 rows of 4 cells rather than one row, so it will fit. Looking something like this.
I was planning on using the following products:
EVE LF304 - Docan Power
Compression Plates from Off Grid Solar Store - These are a little pricey at $199, but would save me time. I could not find another supplier for a similar product. Bottom flange can be bolted to the floor of the van and the Lexan cover can mount on the top flange.
Two - Overkill 4s BMS 120a
Lexan Top Plate Cover - I will have at least a full top plate. Possibly a second stacked top plate separated by spacers to cover either the BMS's or the Terminals if necessary.
Battery Terminals
Source some 1/4" threaded rods and cover with tubing.
The battery will go in an RV. Max charging will be from a 120 amp Stearling B2B charger plus 230 watts of solar. The max draw will be from a Victron Multiplus 12V / 3000 va / 120 amp.
Is there anything I am missing? Maybe plastic sheets between the end caps and the cells?
