Hello
I am new to this and trying to put together a 90Ah/100Ah LiFePO4 battery with BMS. This will replace two SLAs in my travel trailer - and I will be charging them with 2 100W solar panels mounted on the roof. I have been researching Will's website, battery builds / videos etc. but I am not 100% clear on all parts needed to test the battery - so I thought I would put out a question to this forum. I want to work out the costs to compare if its better to build v/s buy one
Things I need :
Battery cells -- purchase from AliExpress (seeing deals for 4 cells around $170.00 -- can't confirm if these are grade A or not)..
BMS system with bluetooth and low temp sensor
Bus Bars, Wires, hardware etc..
For charging / testing / balancing:
Variable high-current power-supply? (I have a NOCO genius charger - will that work)
Battery capacity tester
Cell Balancer?
Anything else?
Thanks again for the help in advance!
