Hello! I am putting together a diy battery pack - I have (18) Lishen 272AH batteries on order through the Group Buy and have received my tracking info (still likely 30-40 days away). I plan to build (2) 24v 272AH packs (and have 2 batteries left over to use as spares in future). This battery is for my off-grid cabin, so will not be subject to vibrations.
I will have a 24v system. Victron Multiplus 24/3000Inverter/charger. Victron 150/70 Charge Controller
Since I don't really know when my cells will arrive, I want to get what I will need all figured out so I can top balance and test out my new cells in reasonable amount of time from arrival in case anything isn't up to snuff. Here is what I was planning on getting:
- Power Supply to top balance battery - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ML2MP9Q
- IR meter to help sort batteries best - Not sure if this is necessary?
- Busbars? - Plan is to use the ones that come with the batteries.
- BMS - was planning on two of these from Overkill - https://overkillsolar.com/product/bms-100a-8s-lifepo4/ - not sure about wires, etc I should order attached
- Studs for batteries rather than use bolts
- I was planning on doing a diy capacity test with heat gun or similar - should I buy one of these instead?
I plan to start ordering things this weekend - anything else I should get?
Thanks for any help!
