Without short circuit protection testing, your review is worth very little

They're worth more than your stupid comment, but thanks for watching and don't forget to hit the like button!

[@andrewb9276]

@@hamradiotube Sorry Mike that you consider my comment STUPID. I believe that the most serious problem you could encounter with a battery etc. would be a short circuit. I'd like to be sure that in that case, the BMS would immediately disconnect and then later reset.

[@andrewb9276]

@@hamradiotube Please note Mike, I did not use the term USELESS. I feel it not as good as it could be.

[@wesmagyar]

@@andrewb9276 if you have to rely on short circuit protection, built into the battery, you’re doing it wrong. You should always have an in-line fuse.

[@BradSnyder1]

It passed all your tests with flying colors! Great job Mike!

[@hamradiotube]

Thanks 👍

[@K5QBF]

Finally, a product that does what it says it will do.

[@hamradiotube]

Right?

[@lyfandeth]

Amazing bang for the buck. But I'd still like to see a full autopsy to see how it was built.

[@ch716]

You put in a lot of work to test this. Great job

[@chrissewell1608]

I have seen a few of these affordable 100 Ahr batterieson Amazon, and was wondering how well tjey truly worked!❤

[@timothysampson4944]

Bought one of these and their charger after your impressive review to run my Ft-891 portable. Thanks

[@RabbitStu-M7UTS]

Waving metal tape measure and ratchet over terminals was a little bum puckering 😂

[@hamradiotube]

I assure you, safety is almost my 3rd priority.

[@chrissewell1608]

😬

[@Ammed_KN6STX]

Clutch the Pearls! You used an Imperial Measuring Tape!!!!!!😱 Good video Mike!!!!

[@hamradiotube]

It's not an antenna 🤣

[@pnowikow]

They finally sub $200. Big Geek upgrade time

[@Jody_VE5SAR]

Good review, Mike. There might be a little typo on their BMS spec sheet... ? @3:28 "Charging Low Temperature Protection" was 32±41°F... lol - that's quite a range (-9°F to 73°F). Maybe they meant 0.4°F?

[@grumpydad56]

great video. Perfect timing as I am in the market for my first lifepo battery

[@Bill-HRT]

Mike! I learned a lot watching how you methodically tested. Thanks for sharing. See you out there. 73 de Bill

[@dannydivine7699]

Put a piece of all thread into those terminals, and then use the appropriate washers and nuts, and do it "Correctly" LoL

[@jamesemery1]

you should torque the terminals to 4nm to make sure you have a good connection a poor connection can generate a lot of heat due to high resistance

[@KI7JOM]

Washer: it's called a "captured washer" Source: I used to work in the fastener department at a hardware store 😊

[@hamradiotube]

That's fastenating! Hmm, see what I did there?

[@KI7JOM]

@@hamradiotube ohh.... You're good! 😎

[@PeteGeniella]

Great video thank you. I’m curious about this battery because the sizing is killer. Those bolts are M8 which means a 13mm socket or wrench. If you start living that M8 life you can just keep a 13mm at the ready! Using a Philips for anything can be pretty bogus YMMV

[@lifetech101]

Seems like a nice battery. I'm not convinced it is capable of 15,000 cycles. That number seems kind of high as it is 3x higher than most quality lifepo4 batteries.

[@gregbreitz972]

My biggest concern is having a couple of those in my shack connected to a solar panel 24/7 . What is their track record on fires??? Just saying

[@dorvinion]

Lithium iron phosphates are among the safest batteries you can find. The chemistry is extremely stable.

[@dougdaniels]

Great test Mike, thanks. Would you rate it better/worse/equivalent to the Powerqueen 100Ah mini?

[@hamradiotube]

I don't remember if the PQ has low temp protection even though I use that battery all the time lol! I don't think it does so if that's important to you, this would be better.

[@justinmoyers1179]

Grinder will add some slots lol

[@philbrzezinski6]

As soon as I saw the "made in China " lable is when I lost interest, is there such a thing as a UL listed LiFePO4 battery?? Thanks!!

[@hamradiotube]

Prob not, but check out www.bioennopower.com

[@dorvinion]

BattleBorn makes UL listed LiFePO4 batteries - 100AH for about $980

[@vemmaterryj]

Mike what do you use to charge a battery this size. Your gonna make me spend my money lol

[@martinunger9545]

@@hamradiotube how long do you think it would take to charge with the 20 amp charger, assuming you drew it down fairly far?

[@hamradiotube]

@@martinunger9545 A simple formula would be to divide the capacity of the battery, Ah, by the current you are putting into the battery from the charger in Amps. So if you had a totally depleted 100Ah battery and were charging with 20 amps, 100/20 is 5 hours.

[@rbryanhull]

[@hamradiotube]

It's in stock at Amazon. amzn.to/4ger36c

[@DexDeadly]

Hey Mike, did you happen to give this a capacity test to confirm you get that full advertised capacity?

[@hamradiotube]

I did and totally forgot to add it in the video. It tested at 104Ah's.
