how did that tank held up on those metal belts?

Probably a little late to the party, but you probaly want to add a way to compress the cells' sides together so that they don't swell. Even just wrapping them with some glass-fiber packing/strapping tape will help.

I would advise wrapping your metal tools in insulation tape before attempting this, also, using a wratchet and socket (also wrapped in insulation tape) would likely be safer.

So if I have 2 200ah packs, each with a 100 amp bms, I can pull up to 200 amps? Where do I read further on this?
@adamshayes 8 ай бұрын
Hi, yes you can pull upto 200A but I wouldn't as this is maxing out the BMS, if you think you are going to run 200A on a regular basis then I would add a 3rd battery to the system, as far as information about it there is lots on the internet, for me my goto place is the Victron site and victron forums, hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@NestoRides514 8 ай бұрын
What about mixing batteries with different size BMS. I have a store bought 200ah LIFEPO4 battery which has a 100A BMS but I want to add an additional 200ah battery, one which I would build. Can I use a 120A BMS or should I find a comparable unit? Right now for my current uses, I’m lucky if I’m pulling more than 10-20 amps at any one time.

Can you connect this directly to the alternator for charging or do you need a charger in the middle? Also got solar mppt and running an inverter.. I just need to know whether it's a direct replacement for lead acid or do I need to modify the system? Thank you, great video:)

Just yesterday I got a wonderful complement from an older lady regarding my metalflake Emerald Green Raptor-lined '02 Vitara Cabriolet. She said that she really loved the color and texture. I finished the job two and a half years ago, and it looks as good as the day it was done. A year ago I covered the Raptor liner with Cerakote ceramic finish, and the water still beads up. Highly recommended!

If you wire four sets of four cells in parallel and then the sets in series you only need one BMS.
@adamshayes Жыл бұрын
Absolutely correct but I wanted to have 4 separate packs as I can just unplug them and take them to be charge separately, also if I only had 1 BMS and it fails my whole system goes down, Thanks for the comment and watching my videos, Cheers Adam👍

Just an fyi, this type of item typically belongs inside the engine bay and you'll only need to run one wire into the cab for the panel. Much of the materials used are non corrosive and shouldn't have any issues with that.

@adamshayes Жыл бұрын
With regards to your fridge you need to monitor how many time and for how long the compressor kicks in over 1 hour, work out how long it is running over 24 hours and then calculate your lighting, you should be able to workout how much power you will need then size you batteries accordingly, hope that helps mate 👍
