"Here - Hold my Beer"
I have been remiss in THANKING YouTuber DADvinci for what i think is the BEST DIY instructional video that I have seen in a very long time ... The video can be found at
... We have probably done about 50 of these boxes so far with zero issues (that wasn't our fault) ...
ONE word of warning is we totally DON'T use the washers that come with the kit -- the nut has serrated edges and I want those to bite down onto the busbar and not some washer that is eventually going to loosen up ....
We did decide to go ahead and use the aluminum bus bars -- why not -- its not like we are pushing 100A or anything ...
ALSO - while there are lots of videos on the APEX BMS, its NOT the easiest BMS to use sometime ... of course I have became a JK-BMS (latest model) fanatic so i am biased ...
BUT if you are going to put one of these kits together .. please take a look at the video ... it will save you quite a bit of heartache ...
NOW to be honest --we have switched to the Yixiang DIY Battery Box that comes about 80% assembled and this is the one that we are sticking with for the time being ... We put together quite a few of these boxes a year for work -- last year about 100 - and anything that can save us time is saving us money ... Also they have a great customer service .. (as does Jenny Wu at DOCAN)
PLUS the Yixiang DIY Battery Box has the JK-BMS ... out thanks for Youtube OFF-GRID Garage for leading us that way ...
