Luyuan battery case

Typo? DId you mean no good when doing AWG?

I just purchased one and hopefully, the AWG molds are sized correctly.

Thanks, Typo fixed.
If you get a crimper with AWG Dies your good to gowith AWG wires.
If you get one with Metric dies that get's tricky.

Better get your cells ordered, more talk on tariffs for Chinese green products.

Do you have reference?

 

[Steve_S]

Do you have reference?

It has been all over US News as well as EU news for the past 2 months or so...
Google or DuckDuckGo "Battery Tariffs" or Battery Cell Duties - etc.

Do you have reference?

It has been on the news the last couple days, the treasury secretary has been over there and said yesterday that tariffs on Chinese green products were a possibility.

 

[Brucey]

Isn't one set of tariffs set to expire in the next few months?

This is the crimper to purchase, it is the best. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HJXG3KM?psc=1&ref=product_details

For my $50 crimping tool, the metric size had an AWG “equivalent” on the same die. I just had to use both 1/0 dies on my 2/0 cable and selterm lugs. I might have got away with a 1/0 and a 2/0 die but it didn’t take that much more pumping with all 1/0 dies.

Had time to make sure four of the 8-s boxes fit in the U42 server racks I found, just barely enough height.

No matter what those shelve say they can support, I would not want to load up that entire rack with 4 batteries. Looks like the support is only from the rear in a cantilever motion?

I finally started working on one of my boxes.
Here's the wheels-

And here's my grade A cells with no bulging-

Is there a choice in castors available? I'm thinking if one was going to stack a bunch one would want a heavier duty unit? Cells look great.

You can probably request anything you want. Mine will have 5 boxes stacked up and weigh about 1200 lbs.
I don't expect to move them around very much. But I like having the option.

No worries, just a mock up they have a 60# load limit and I will take care of that.

I didn't get ferrules with one of my cases and I don't have a crimper for them.
I am getting ready to order these but if anyone has better ideas please let me know. Thanks

I need to do the same and make some new connections to adapt for the class T fuses, Amy has some in my next order but I don’t want to wait that long.

 

[S Davis]

I got some lugs that I was able to bend ok, I just need to make up eight 8.5” wires with 90 lugs on one end and ferrules on the other and then eight modified buss bars for the class t to front terminal.

 

[ArthurEld]

I'm thinking about switching to the new closed loop JK BMS. If I do that, I need to order the new face for my battery box with the cutouts for the communication ports. I am going to ask Amy to squeeze a class T fuse in there too.
Batteries are constantly evolving. These battery boxes will be evolving with me.

I am going to see if I can get a couple boxes modified for two 12v 4s in a 8s box with two screens, so two 12v 304ah in a single case.
