OK, I finally did it. I pulled the trigger on my first LFP battery build. I've got:
JBD LFP 4s 120a form AliExpress (I wish it had low temp and BT, but it's a starter battery)
4x EVE LF280 cells from Docan
Now I need to figure out a box. I saw the Interesting Napa Box from the other thread but there were some concerns about fitting the taller 280Ah cells in there and it's pretty pricy for what I need on this project.
Ultimately all I want is a cheap enclosed box that I can have a pair of terminals sticking out the top that will fit my cells and have room for the BMS to not cook off, and a handle would be great if possible too so I can move it easy. All the other parts (fuses, etc) will end up elsewhere.
For y'all that have worked with these cells, can you recommend a cheap case, preferably stocked at Harbor Freight, Coastal Tractor, or Tractor Supply? Amazon works OK too if you know a good link.
