Hi Guys,
This is my first post here, but I'm a big fan of Wills YouTube channel. I am planning a solar system for a converted school bus and he's helped a lot with designing my system.
Has anyone had and experience with Saft VL41M cells. I have an opportunity to buy some for $10 each plus shipping which would be around $5 a cell depending on how many I buy. That works out to around $0.36 AH. I understand that I would need to have a bms and some sort of enclosure, etc and the issues dealing with cylindrical cells. I prepared for that. My question about these specific cells. I'm pretty sure the ones I can get are some sort of surplus from a military contract. The company Im getting them from is a electronic and battery recycler. He said that they've been tested and they are all in the 3.2v range.
