DIY How To Make a Powerful 12V 18200mAh 420A li-ion Battery Pack

[@ARMTechHomemade]

hello guys. This battery i make 3 years ago and it's still working, for charching i use SKYRC iMAX B6AC V2 charger and i don't need any BMS for this. For battery security I'm not afraid, becouse the board where i use this battery already has security board. If you don't have experiance working with li-ion battery please don't repeat this at home. Thanks

Now he's trying to say 420A. Jeez

But it's a 3S7P battery with 2600mah cells. At 1C he'd be getting 2.6A per string which is fine for the nickel used, but it's 18.2A in total, which is clearly too much for the little nickel tabs he's using to connect to the BMS. He should be using copper for the BMS tabs. He's making his discharge claims on the 18650 cells alone. Each cell has max continuous discharge of 40A (7P = 280A) and pulse discharge of 60A (7P = 420A). The BMS he's using clearly states 60A @ 5:09. There's all kinds of carelessness in this video.

[@fbi-federalblyatofinvestig3853]

From the looks of it you are using Sony/Murata VTC5 cells, they have a capacity of 2600mah and a max continuous discharge rate of 20A so really the max current you can continuously draw is about 140A, that is still a lot but nowhere near the 420A. If your cells really could do 420A together then your capacity wouldn’t be 18,200mah, it would be lower. Other than that, great video!

@@oprisvlad3102 but the 18650-s can handle 10 amps a pop. So 70 amps total, with peaks of 140 amps. And with the best cells you can get 20 amps per cell continuous, 30 amps peak so 210 amps.

I urge you to change the title and description of this video because even if the cells can handle 40A continuous and 60A pulse (which I doubt because for 18650's that is extremely high!) then your nickel strips would literally melt way before those current numbers are even reached. What you are claiming is dangerous and viewers without much knowledge will hook this pack up to their car, thinking that it would work. The pack will definitely fail and a fully charged li-ion pack that fails is extremely dangerous!

[@netmonk]

Not only talk about the fact that the nickel stripe is not able to support such amp draw. Basically between 5 to 10 amp per layer of nickel stripe. That is why copper bus are used to fully support higher amp draw

[@jeremytalkingeverything]

Thank you for pointing this out. I still can't believe we haven't had an update about it blowing up. Not only is that but the battery series is completely absurd. You can't jump circuit the chain of positives over to negative and then back again. That creates a short. This is the worst case of DC in series and parallel I've came across with besides the guy that does this stuff that blows up on purpose.

[@jhonny44444]

@@jeremytalkingeverything I made a slight typo in my comment, I accidentally switched 3s7p and 7s3p around. He did make a 12V 18.2Ah pack, but the warning about the current load is still very much valid. The nickel strips can't handle the current and 40A continuous on those cells would surely cause problems. I however don't see a problem with his circuit wiring? He first welded up the parallel strips, connecting all the positives and negatives of the cells to create parallel columns and then he created a series chain with them by snaking around from + to - to +, creating a 3s chain. What I don't get is why he used so little nickel to create the series connections (ballpark is to use at least 1 strip per cell in both parallel and series connections). The pack definitely works, just not with the advertised current draw.

[@lomgshorts3]

ALL wires must have mechanical connection together before soldering and heat shrink tubing. Twist bare wires together first, then solder. This helps you not to have cold solder joints and have a possible short or open circuit. Use a buck/boost converter for different voltages. It can be affixed to case externally or internally if you have the room. No special tape or paper insulation needed - use cardboard/pasteboard and hot glue to isolate and hold down battery. Leave top glued at spots with hot glue so you can open battery box to make changes if needed.

[@pravindahiya719]

if all the 21 cells are connected in parallel even then it can give a continuous current of 2×21 = 42 Ampere ( MAXIMUM ) not 420 Ampere & even then the voltage will be 3.7 V nominal ( between 3.0 & 4.2 V )

[@kwadkrazy6078]

That's assuming the cells have a discharge rate of 2A. There are 18650s on the market that can output 30A continuous, and as he wired those 21 cells in a 3s 7p configuration, that would make the equation 30x7 = 210A continuous. That's still not 280A, and I doubt he's using those exact cells, but it had to be said.

[@lomgshorts3]

Also, make sure your connections are pure nickel, not nickel/steel as the steel used may corrode over time as 18650 battery does gas out when charging.

[@cristianmurgulet5768]

Those are rebranded Sony VCT5A that have a 25A continuous discharge rate. There is no way that battery will put out 280A continuous and 420A pulse. Four 0.2mm nickel strips between series connection are not going to handle those amps. I will estimate under 100A. Plus the batteries will not be able to put out that many amps.

[@zachniedfeldt]

Exactly what I was thinking. No where near enough conductor. I use .008" laser cut nickel plated copper in a pattern that maximizes cross sectional conductor area. Samusung 40Ts 7-14s 5p. Conductor area is equal to about 5awg copper wire. I rate it at 200amps continuous 350 burst.

[@Paul-mz6ss]

I was thinking similar, I'd love to see him trying to put a 280A load followed by (if anything left) a 420A burst on to it. It would have been a good video if he was truthful with the result.

That lipo is rated for 5000mah or 5amps x60C = 300Amps which gets closer to 420A as you stated but there is no way those 18650 will put out 280A especially over those .2 mm nickel strips. Those might do 20A on a good day in short bursts with out melting them but you only have 4 linking the strings together. That's a max of 80A. Which is still impressive for a small battery pack and it is a nice build. However those 40A 18650 are also way over rated at 40A. Do an actual load test on one of those and see...

You seem to know a lot about this kind of thing. I have a 9 ah SLA battery right now. If I build one of these do I need a certain kind of charger or can I continue to use the charger I have now?

[@jamescole6846]

@@SVMSICE The short answer is this is a long answer and I don't even know the question. SLA and li-on are apples and oranges apart. First, SLA is not a good choice for anything that that needs drained and re-charged. LA Batteries in cars have a lot of cranking amps but are only made to be used momentarily until the engine starts. Draining them reduces their life greatly. Deep cycle SLA are made to be more drained as in for boat or trolling motor use but still do not have the capacity to be charged anywhere near what a li-on can be. Plus there is weight. So my first question is what are you trying to build? What is your target voltage and amps? And what are you putting it in?

I see why you couldn’t answer. So what would you suggest battery wise (18650) to make a 12 volt like his, same case, that’s going to get used half dozen or more times a year? It will probably come close to draining the batteries after usage. Well actually I’m not sure if it would come close to draining it with this type of battery but it comes close to draining my 12 volt SLA battery I’m using right now. That’s why I was think about building one of these versus buying one of these because I like to try new projects like this.

Well shown building process! Three remarks: First. The cells seem to have quite different voltages. For safety normally you would first (dis)charge all cells to storage voltage (3.6-3.8 volt). Second: I like the casing. Would it not be easier to turn the upper part (cap) 180 degrees and use a longervthick red and black power cable towards the outer connectors? Now you have to fold two stiff thick wires to close the cap. Third: You glue the cap of the casing to the lower part. To open it you will probably have to destroy the casing. Why not use a good piece of self adhesive tape? Greetings Gerard

Which is exactly why on another site I read about using multiple stirps. You need to calculate the cross sectional area of each strip of nickel and compare that to the area of standard wire conductors then find out how many amps the conductors are rated for. Nothing wrong with going to a higher rated conductor either.

That's not 12v, it's 11.1v . 12v is from 10v to 14.4v due to use cases. This stops charging at 12.6v, so a real 12v pack is actually a 16.8v fully charged.

[@TheSpotify95]

I would personally say 3S is closer to 12V than 4S. Using the latter, it stops charging at 12.6V, with a nominal of 11.1V. Most 12V devices should be able to run on 11.1V just fine. 4S means that 12V (or 10V, depending on the cut off you choose) is the minimum voltage, and the maximum voltage is 16.8V. 16.8V is likely too high for most 12V devices and might cause damage. The only way to get a true 12V pack is to either use LiFe cells (or LiFePO4), which are 3.2V nominal (4 x 3.2 = 12.8V nominal) or to use a buck/boost regulator, to provide a constant 12V.

[@thelemoncuttingguy5127]

Hi, Interesting and cheap spot welding solution you made yourself there. I liked that the solution was clean, however as an instructional video (which it looked like you were making). Then it would make sense for newbies to have an idea of what you are doing. Not adding a BMS isnt exactly a good practice. Even during discharging you can encounter that some cells might go below the recommended voltage and although that might not be a short term problem it will most definitely be a long term problem. As for the overchange protection you had a balance charging from your RC hobby charger. But it is also importent to note that it was in balance mode and not standard charging mode. Having similar age cells will making the balancing easier on the BMS so you might get away without using a BMS if you set a cutoff in min and max voltage before you can hit the marks. Anyhow I would like to emphasize that the whole package looks clean and is one of the better videos on YT with diy packs. You also clearly have an idea what you are doing during soldering. What i dont like is the Current 280A , Pulse current 420A part where im guessing you are referring to the lipo pack ? Its misleading. For all the people wondering howmuch current you can pull through it then the recommended discharge rate per cell is capacity * 0,5 up to 0,8 so for a 2000mah cell you are talking 1000-1600mah per cell * amount in parallel . Your busbar in this case nickel strip will also play a factor in this. Keep up the good job.

Always go by the maximum output of the power source and not the load that is expected to be placed on the source, battery or AC line. If the power source does become shorted, at least your battery links will not be fried, which is the best reason for the battery to use a fuse directly from the positive terminal to the load as close to the battery as possible.

[@johncoops6897]

The power cable would be able to handle about TEN TIMES more current than the nickel strips he's used inside. There is no way in the world that the cable will even get warm if the pack is short circuited.

[@volatileeinstein2669]

Doesn’t it need BMS??I know which charger you are using you dont need BMS. But in this condition the Battery is not able to take charge from a normal charger which donot cut current or volt after charging fulfilled

[@johncoops6897]

Same as every single RC battery in the entire world. They don't have BMS either, do they?

[@gushund]

Everything looks good but where do you shop for all equipment used in the video and cost ... is it worth the $$$'

[@johncoops6897]

You read the VIDEO DESCRIPTION, which is where almost all KZbin channels put information so that they don't get dumb questions like yours.

[@johnnyhwang7869]

How much did you spent??

[@anoirbentanfous]

Test the battery before you glue it!!!

[@brettschacher8644]

Good idea, of course if any one of those connections were wrong there should have been arcing or signs of heating

[@BrendonHolt]

Narration is really necessarily. For example why did you bypass the BMS balancing feature. This vidio is almost useful.

I have and intest in making a battery for a 12v lift. It currently has 2 12v 12amp hour batteries and one that is 12v 7 amp hours It have a 100amp bracker on it. I am looking to make a longer lasting version for this

[@user-pt1ur9zr6x]

чТО за сварка? Есть схема.

[@BomJimmy]

12.6 volt when fully charged.

[@UMBROTECNOSOUND]

not bad assembly, at least only one fuse had to be installed

[@silcaloutube]

480 Amps. Ohh my god. Can this handle.

[@sacchitmalhotra4550]

Bro where did u get that spot welder, did you made it or is it available online??

[@rymproduccioneslapazbolivi8102]

No responde el guey

[@Nodrama92]

mate can you help me .. i got an e-scooter with 15.300mah (15,3Ah) battery.. that would be about 6 x 18650 or ? i want to build an extended battery for more range :)

[@selfmadesvensvenson8964]

hey, the voltage must stay the same. the Amps/hour is what you want to increase. so you just build an pack with the same amount of voltage, but more batteries in parallel.

[@user-co3ii3fk1y]

По китайски 420 , а по человечески 60 . i like you , end abonement! very good! sorry its Russian england! 😉

[@ARMTechHomemade]

Всё норм

[@user-lp5to2oz4o]

Меня заинтересовала ваша сварка по аккумуляторы от чего записали саму сварку подскажите из чего спасибо

[@koolkiwikat]

that was relaxing to watch

[@salauddinsk9091]

Ooo great idea👍

[@abhilashmasavalli1832]

Please share battery charger and drivers details,, Great effort Thanks .😊👍

[@FSHerrante]

Why you are not use the BMS board with integrated balancing? Is more easy, practical and cheap that an external balancer.

[@wengesch]

Li-Ion Battery Pack and no BMS...... I would’t charge inside my house :-(

[@divikumar5475]

I wish I could do this but my wallet says no...

[@bluebay5044]

very nice peaceful music .

[@off-puddingseries4661]

I dont trust putting batteries upside down honestly from experience ill just keep positive to positive and same with negative etc

[@royalharry1559]

Make charger for this batteries

[@peterandrasszabo8062]

420A? Those nickel strips can't conduct more, than 15-20 Amps continuously without warming heavily. By the way, 7 pieces of 18650 Li-ion cells can't give you 420A anyway. But they can give enough current to overheat the nickel strips and even make fire in the worst case. So please be careful with it!

[@tinkertom3683]

yeah you're right plus no fuse is a sure way to set your house on fire

[@mecatr8nica]

Thanks, I was search about balancer cable and found your project is so good. Blessings.

[@abcrinoo]

How I made a spot welding machine, can you make a video detailing the components and how to make it?

[@janosvarga962]

40A ? 280/420A 21 ? cells ? YAY... Call Elon...

[@viggo48sam]

Fuldstændigt suverent❤️❤️❤️❤️🏁🇩🇰 prof

[@jasonkeen7108]

I noticed in your description there was no link to the bms for this project

[@chongshenchang9367]

Sir, that's a nice and tidy make up. Excellent job. By the way , recently I made a lithium pack from BMS 20amps 3s and I put four cells in parallel 12.6v. But can I add another three cells to the parallel pack to make it seven like that of yours..? And not forgetting your spot welder. It's nice and handy... 👍👍 Can you give a description from where else can we get it, or is it possible to set it on DIY..?? Pls respond..! Thanks.
