Hello!
I wanted to start a build thread for my leisure battery, as I think it might be really helpful for beginners in the future. I'm am an absolute beginner and am hoping to show that it can be done, and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars/pounds on a pre-built battery. I'll post some pictures of my rig too as I start to install things!
Components - What will I need!
Cells - 4 x 3.2V 280Ah Lifepo4 Cells (http://tiny.cc/zd2mnz)
BMS - 120Ah Bluetooth Lifeop4 Battery Management System with Low Temperature disconnect (Amazon Link on this page: https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/raw-lifepo4-deals-page.html or can be sourced from Aliexpress/Alibaba)
High Temperature Tape - Tape to bind the above cells together before fitting into a battery case (http://tiny.cc/xp3mnz)
Battery Terminals - 5/16” Stud Premium Remote Battery Power Junction Post (
)
Battery Case - Work in progress! Likely a home made solution
My understanding (from a noob point of view!) is that the above components will give me a full functioning Lifepo4 Leisure Battery!
Schematic - What will it look like?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Daniel
