I've been researching for a while, and it seems like companies like Tesla and Battleborn batteries use cylindrical cells for make up there batterys.
One of the advantages is that one bad cell is less of a noticeable issue overall because of the many many cells.
I'm looking to make a 12v battery pack for my Boat. probably prismatic because they seem more available and easier to put together.
So with prismatic cells..
I was thinking if the price per AH is roughly the same. Would it not be better to make a 300ah pack with 3 sets of 100ah batteries
Than to just use one set of 280ah prismatic cells?
That way if one cell goes bad or something. you have more cells taking up the load? and it's a cheaper fto replace one 100ah cell...
Also, maybe less of a fire hazard if each cell has less potential energy stored?.
Thoughts? does this make sense to you?
