ALL ABOUT BATTERY CELLS. BATERY PACK DIY VIDEO 01.

DO YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD A BATTERY PACK?
THIS IS A VIDEO 01 OF A SERIES OF VIDEOS " DIY BATTERY PACK ".

[@initialnazo]

You seriously don't know how much this helped, finding any useful information online is surprisingly difficult. But man, not only did I learn a lot, but I also actually enjoyed learning it all as well. Props to you

[@PavelGarmas]

Thank you so much for a lovely comment! I am glad that you liked the video. Thank you. Have a look at my the battery building tutorials, there is more additional information there.

[@bennyhill4228]

Yes! Best explanation video i have come across so far.

[@zpepe]

Pavel I gotta tell ya... The shear amount of value (I'm talking about detailed tutorials) you put out there is on an other level. Everytime I search for a particular topic I end up on one of your videos. I finally built my 1st DIY (bought 3 boards before). Your video on bypassing BMS discharge was instrumental. You're just awesome. A big thank you !!!

[@PavelGarmas]

What a lovely comment 😊 thank you very much and i am very happy that my videos helped you. Ride and build safely !

[@taylorarendt6071]

Thanks man. This gave all the info I needed that all the other videos I watched did not supply. Making these can be very dangerous and I appreciate the in debt knowledge, plus the peace of mind in making a SAFE battery pack to meet my boards needs.

[@PavelGarmas]

Super! Thank you and glad that you liked the video. I have made a detailed battery build tutorial as well... did you see it? Happy new Year!!!

[@michaelmcdermott3802]

Thanks big chap. Never too long. Appreciate the NHS shout, means a lot

Thank you kindly!

[@al1as9da6ir4]

One of the best understandable explanation of Batterien i have ever heard. Brillant.

[@manski209]

Best explaination i've seen about cells to date. Thank you for breaking down all information about cells. Like the Brooklyn hat, i am from Brooklyn N.Y. living now in Florida.

[@PavelGarmas]

LOL.... I love that hat : ) Brooklyn NY for 6 years 2000 - 2006 ! Thank you for the lovely comment and I am glad that you liked the video.

[@davidlinscheid2321]

"Always buy from a reliable source." That's great advice for buying anything on line, Pavel. Thank you for explaining what those cell numbers mean! That 12S 5p battery will be quite impressive, my friend. Great weather here in the N Central U.S. today. I rode 4 miles on the NLS PRO today, and I think I will take it out again this evening in just a few minutes.

[@PavelGarmas]

My pleasure!

[@marksadventures3889]

Just found this and the knowledge level is excellent. I'm intrigued to know now what in 3 years has changed - what improvements if any have come to us. Thank you.

[@PavelGarmas]

Thank you 😊 BMS units are better now and more choices of cells but nothing more at the moment.

[@vinnypal783]

thank you for this, i was completely overwhelmed with the thought of building a 12s3p battery for my diy build. I really appreciate some clear and concise direction regarding this Will keep watching.

[@PavelGarmas]

Hi Vinny! Thank you so much for a lovely comment, means a lot. What cells were you planning on using?

[@vinnypal783]

i'm still deciding, you gave me a lot of information to digest and i am at present working out my budget for this build. Samsung seems popular

[@JustLearning]

Learned a lot and the length of the video was just right. Thanks. Now I know about 21700 batteries. Just got into building battery packs and welding. Thanks again.

[@connorwatkins1901]

Big fan of the NXJO 35A 18650.Very consistent capacitance and output, I know the best application for these is more low volt/resistance but I like the piece of mind it wont start spitting or damage other cells in the daisy chain/pack. I used the Samsung equivalent you talked about, I found they had a very good quality as well, figured I would leave a recommendation for you or anyone else looking for a reasonably priced 18650.

[@PavelGarmas]

Thank you mate 👍 any input is appreciated.

[@harrycross7481]

Thanks for the upload, your explanations are very clear and well executed. I understand the fundamental complexities of battery bank construction a lot better than I did prior to watching tis video, again, thanks for the upload👍

[@bereal1251]

Very well explained and easy for any beginner to follow. I think you for got to mention make sure the batteries are at the same voltage at 3.6 or 4.2 before they start making packs 😉

[@PavelGarmas]

Hello ! Thank you for the comment! I will mention more about the voltages during the actual build tutorial. Glad that you liked the video!

[@esk8spirit362]

Nice video Pavel. I think that those wanting to learn to build battery packs need to spend at least some months studying this online and figuring stuff out. Trying to understand it, watching many videos and going though the whole process and also realizing the dangers... I know pretty much all about it and have known for a year at least. I still don't feel it... My main battery guy sends me emails how he accidentally shorted something just for a moment, explosion, a hole in a battery cell. I managed to burn a third of my table, my whole hand black... I was just soldering XT60 to the battery and the two main wires just touched for a milisecond, never seen lightning in my apartment :D It's crazy what the cells can do. Eskate packs or any bigger packs are not for beginners and even real experts need to watch out and make mistakes sometimes. This shouldn't really be messed with. Badly soldered series, might tear off, then you plug in your charger, charging a torn off 6s battery with a 12s charger and your home burns down... :) You could show what it does when something that is not supposed to touch does... So that people see how real it gets.

[@PavelGarmas]

Hey Mate! I do agree 100% with everything that you are saying. Very valid points and thank you for sharing them with us. I have a very strong opinion on battery building DIY and my plan is ( and I did mention this in my video ) to make part 02 video where I will show everyone what is required to actually build a battery plus all the dangers of building the pack yourself. Unfortunately there will be people who will decide to build batteries no matter what and giving people as much detailed information as possible is the best we can do as a community. Thank you for the input mate. Hope to see similar comments on the next part ; )

[@baddadnyounglad7023]

[@GDzag-Minelab]

Pavel, thanks for all your help... You make things easy to understand. My dual ER (extended range) battery pack Meepo NLS Pro uses the (10s2p) 21700 cells and I too, will use them in a not too distant home built battery pack custom made deck. I hope to use many, if not all, of the components you're using. I'm looking forward to using a VESC in the build, opposed to the standard ESC's found in the lower cost boards from China. I love my very custom Meepo NLS Pro component based current deck as it was my first esk8... but long for the ability to really customize it to my needs. Thanks again.

[@PavelGarmas]

Thanks for watching and glad video was helpful.

[@bencahill8651]

Great vid, makes it easy for those that do not know. Only thing I would have added for those that do not know, is that when dealing with electric motors Voltage is directly related to rpm of the motor. Its not complicated, it just shows how we as battery builders balance motor power by rpm and voltage with longevity of amp hrs and the capacity of the battery to deliver current drain relative to motor rpm which also affects how long our battery will last overall. Some people do not quite understand, if you are a heavy person, the motor needs more current to push the same setup as relative to a lighter weight person. So they wonder why their bike or board does not last as long in run time compared to their friends which is identical. And then there is gearing, don't get me started lmfao so that highschool physics lesson is now relevant lol. Awesome vid mate

[@PavelGarmas]

Subbed. Good complete info here. When you are talking about parallel and series connections it would benefit people who don't know to explain the circuits briefly first .

[@PavelGarmas]

I have made a few battery building tutorials and the principle is the same. Have a look and if any questions- let me know.

[@negaopiroca2766]

Hi Pavel, nice education video! You probably already know this, the current used by the motors is not the same as what it is drawn from the battery. I know it's weird, but if your motors require 2x 60A, you will need less than 120A on the battery side, I would say around 100A. One can experience this looking at the VESC tool for example. You probably didn't want to over complicate an already complex topic I know :)

[@PavelGarmas]

Hi Very good fact and yes, you are correct. I did not want to get into phase explanation plus i still believe that it is best to have a bit if "play" on the battery. So if people will aim for two motors at 60 Amp =120 battery discharge, they will be safer. I have noticed that a lot of guys out there do like to push the limits a bit more especially when they get used to they boards. Same goes for motors : motors that are rated to 60Amp from manufacturer can be easily ran at 70 :) Thank you very much fir watching and commenting! See you next Wednesday!

Очень полезное видео, продолжайте. Мне кажется самые лучшие аккумуляторы - это аккумуляторы 18650, у них большая энергоемкость и токоотдача, например vtc6 - среди них нет конкурентов(токоотдача до 40 ампер и емкость 3000mAh при таких размерах)

[@PavelGarmas]

Большое спасибо за хороший комментарий. Я согласен, некоторые батареи 18650 очень хороши, но все зависит от индивидуальных требований. Я могу построить 12S5P, используя 21700, но не 18650 из-за моего типа корпуса. Езжай безопасно и держись. Кстати, ты на Facebook?
