So within the next few hours my new 120Ah NINTHCIT cells arrive.
Of course, they will undergo rigorous scrutiny.
Few people have tried these yet and information on them has been slow to trickle in. I hope to change that.
I'll check them thoroughly, weigh each cell, test their arrival voltages and resistances. Then top balance and afterwards run a full capacity test with my DL24P
I like these because originally I went with an Off The Shelf 100Ah sealed LiFePO4 but ran into a small problem with one cell
running away at 3.4v resulting in a battery that wouldn't reach full charge state. Probably could have easily been resolved but
changing ANY settings resulted in voided warranty so I had no choice but to send it back.
After that I decided to stick with DIY batteries since I would have complete control over everything.
I like the fact that these are 120Ah batteries vs 100Ah batteries. That will allow me a good "cushion" while still having a full
100Ah that I can safely use.
Hoping these cells live up to the challenge. I'll report it either way, good bad or ugly.
As long as I don't blow them on the top balance procedure
If you have any interest in these batteries, you'll get a lot of information on them here.
Hoping for the best.
