Hello all,
I want to build two 100 Ah LiFePO4 batteries for the trolling motor in my fishing boat. Like my first LiFePO4 battery that I built last year, I will use grade A EVE cells and a JK - BMS with 2 amp active balancing. Last year I used a battery box as a case, and a lot of the space I filled with styrofoam as it was much too big. It is also too tall to fit under the deck where the trolling motor batteries go.
So what I hope to find is a source of battery cases so I can choose two that are going to fit in the space required. I have been using 2 group 27 lead acid batteries until now, so that gives some idea as to the space I have available for the cases. It would be nice to find something that is a better fit that the oversized box I used for my first battery build. A bonus would be a case that I don't have to glue shut like the LiFePO4 batteries available on Amazon. They need to be cut open to get inside them. I want to be able to get into the case easily if necessary.
Any help much appreciated! I can use Alibaba or Aliexpress if one of those are a good source.
