it works?
I did 3 capacity test with the bms low voltage for the cells at 2650
this is the 3rd and last
test number 2 below
test number 1 below:
Note:
1 I run the test with and inverter and heater (1000w circa ) , my inverter cuts the power at 11V so i finished the test with 3 of the 12v heating pad 90w circa
2 test number 3 has been done with the battery enclosed in the wooden box (previous 2 test only with the hose clamp only.
on the last test i mixed the cell, i pired the ones with hgher voltage with the ons with lower voltage and i left every pair in parallel by them self to balance a little the assembled everything, charged the whole battery, and then done the capacity test.
3 the heating system has not been tested in the cold, van is not ready yet and battery is in my house...
i basically build a jacket with 3 heating pads, there a plastic liner on the the inside
thanks for the time you spent reading this post

p.s. i plan to cover the battery with styrofoam insulation (top,back and side for sure)
