I purchased 6 of the Lossigy a month ago. The company seems to make several batteries, basically the same, but some with added features. I have 4 yellow case and 2 black case. The first 4 we're around $330.00 each. In a week and a half they jumped up to $379.00. The black case I got for $345.00. They had pretty good ratings on Amazon. Supposed to have cold temp protection. The 6 are in parallel. We'll have to see long term, but for now they are working well running my Mom's off grid trailer.

[@unionse7en]

still working well?

[@quercuslobata3776]

@unionse7en Have not had an issue with the batteries. Of course with a 90 year old woman, a different issue. She would leave stuff on like she did when she was on grid. The biggest draw seemed to be the rv furnace. At 90 she was cold. Would turn the heater up and forget to turn it down. Then would get too hot and open the trailer doors with the furnace still running. Furnace would run 24/7. Fortunately she is now in assisted living.

[@dante7228]

Just a consideration...people keep buying old (outdated) batteries instead of innovative battery because they don't know better and probably because old batteries had the time to be marketed/recommended/reviewed and therefore have a reputation that new ones don't have. I'm glad I found your channel, very good content! Thanks for your work!

[@Radagast1953]

Here's another possible reason they keep buying old. I bought 2 Battle Born batteries almost 4 years ago. About a year & a half later, I bought 4 more [24V system], at the same outrageous price [$949], mostly because I could not find any recommendations for mixing batteries. Now, almost 2-1/2 years later, the Battle Born batteries have only dropped 8% to $874, while all these new companies are coming out with new, innovative batteries for 60-75% of 5he price of Battle Born. The question remains. Can you integrate these new batteries into the old system? If so how? I certainly don't want to scrap my investment in what were the best batteries a few years back when I still expect 10-20 years or more of remaining life. Will, can you please address this problem in one of your videos?

[@mattgreven7615]

I'd love to see an updated version of this test! I was shopping around, and it appears that there's a new crop of "mini" 100AH batts with lots of features (bluetooth/hi-lo temp cutoff's, etc). But--I've never heard of any of them. Price point seems to be around $329-375.

Found your chanel a few days ago. It is by far my fav chanel now. You also get to the point, you explain. You compare. You don't waste so much time promoting things and talking about a bunch of useless stuff. I just got handled a solar system. It's a few years old. However I can still use it as my starter and learn about solar more. I know good amount just not enough. I have 3 100 watt panels and 2 100amp batteries. They are the once that you can't get below 50%. So the batteries are the worst, but for getting panels, batteries, wires, controller, inline fuse and 300w inverter for free I can't complain. This is excellent chanel to learn about this. Batteries will be first thing I'll replace obviously. So this is perfect for me. Thank you for having a good chanel and actually about the stuff it's ment for. Everyone knows KZbinrs who spend half the video promoting things or talking about a bunch of personal life useless stuff.

[@CamaroStylin]

Solid, as always. I would suggest that in the future if you see two temp sensors in a battery, perhaps try chilling or heating them together. The second sensor may be functional, but perhaps is used in a different way than being able to shut down the current on its own. Example, in a clothes dryer there will be a cycling thermostat and then a high limit safety thermostat. One is intended to be cycled, one is not. If a digital control system is taking in two temperature probes, it could be doing several things that require both sensors to be exposed at once: 1) perhaps, like the dryer, one is a safety that is used only in the case of a fault with the other sensor. If this is true, and the digital controller doesn't recognize a fault with the primary sensor, it may ignore the one that seemed to not work. 2) if the sensing probes are wired in series and the controller takes a voltage sample from between them, as a voltage divider (like how fuel level gauges usually work), then exposing just one to high or low temps may not be enough to trigger the low or high temp cutoff. 3) probably a handful of other conditions I'm not going to think of So, might be best to try them individually and then test them together, in case either the controller logic or the physical wiring requires particular inputs. It's not likely that if the sensors are inside a battery pack that their values would be so very different as they would be with different extreme temp exposures (room temp versus very high or freezing temps).

[@Internutt2023]

Great video and info! I ran into a few other "info" videos, where, it was just the channel creator talking, that's NOT what I consider information. Doing a good teardown and inspection always has more value and info than a creator just blabbing!

[@NorthernKitty]

I have a couple of Lossigy batteries, and have been pretty happy with the quality. Glad to see you confirm my experience. Edit: And thanks for the review on the Vestwood!! Based on your review, I decided to buy their 200Ah version, which is also advertised with "cold temperature shutoff". Total price = $629. I'm suspecting that the sensor is on the BMS itself, which would be bad placement but at least better than nothing. The seller goes on at great length in the description about the feature as well as providing details when answering questions about the product, so I'd be very surprised if it actually didn't have it.

As with many things, the more the market growths the more innovation comes along at a lower cost. We are looking at off-grid property, the home will have a 24 volt system for lighting and low power draws and a 48 volt system for the inverter. That way there is some redundancy so you don't loose everything if one system goes down.

[@quartamile]

Thank you, Will! For the Vestwood battery with no apparent temperature sensor, I'm thinking it could be possible that the BMS may have a sensor built into the BMS, not hanging out the side like it should be... other youtube reviewers will drop the batteries into a freezer for a while as a more thorough test for such an example. Do you have a freezer that you could setup to do such testing? Thank you again!

[@glenndennis6801]

Problem is that the BMS might be warmer than the cells. That's why you want to have the sensors away from it.

[@dbf1dware]

Has anyone yet actually tested dropping the battery (the whole thing) down to 32f to see if it shuts off before damage occurs. It is entirely possible that since the temp sensor is on the BMS, they may just set the trigger to a little bit higher temp. It might still work just fine.

[@zumbatan550]

Well, well, the battery market starts getting saturated, and we are getting cheaper and better ones. The manufacturers are watching what you said is what counts!

[@elnicoyadesanpancho]

Me encantan los videos que tú haces Me gustaría saber qué haces con las baterías que desbarata las tiras o qué Sí yo tengo 60 años y tengo una casita chiquita en Tucson Arizona

[@parkerottoackley6325]

Always wondered what you do with the batteries after you showcase them 😉 ??

[@georgeknowles5384]

Since it has become easier to get ripped off with these batteries or manufacturers, I' decided the better way to go was, to go for a power station, that would need to have good batteries in them, but' a new problem then arose, was their stated Power usage!! One seller said after a purchase of a 500watt one, was to of gone for a 1000Watt to be able to obtain a 500Watt output!! And there's me thinking that a stated 500watt output power station was just that, being able to supply a 240volts AC at a current of 2.1amps. Keep up the good work Will!! Put these bad sellers or companies to their shame, with their own facts.

I have 2 chins 100 amp lithium. And I’m very happy with them. Oh yeah I have a victron charge controller. Great combination

[@pewpewwithtodd8077]

I can't wait to build my own battery, I ordered 4 300 AH cells for my first build.

[@donshortjohn2108]

The Vestwood thingy might use an integrated temperature sensor soldered directly on the pcb. Sounds dirty but if you use an bms staying cool at 100 amps, you having less trouble with heat generated by the bms. They might use higher quality FETs with lower resistance resulting in less heat. Get some cooling spray and hit the bms while testing...

[@big0bad0brad]

Yeah you'd be surprised what good FETs can do. It always drives me nuts with motherboards going crazy with the CPU VRM heatsinks and thinking bigger heatsinks are better.... bigger heatsinks just means you're using crappy FETs or not driving them very well.

[@patrickdong7833]

Yes, I have also disassembled then Vestwoods battery, the temperature sensor is on BMS. It is white NTC under the heat sink near the MOS. It can be seen from two sides.

[@Sistagirl305]

@@patrickdong7833 Thank you for finding it. You just made me decide to get it.

[@geofgrooms5681]

OMG. I was hoping to find out how the build quality of these batteries compare. What the differences are in BMS. Thanks for taking a multitool to these batteries. Exactly what I was thinking. You rock.

[@8kgamerleo169]

Hey great video.I bought two lossigy 24v 100ah and the company told me that the cells were prismatic not pouch like the model you got would love to see a review for the 24v lossigy battery. Keep on with the great videos.

[@billystroud7551]

Is the such thing as on die thermistor inside the bms? I only ask as charging maintenance cycle creates little heat, so on board/die would be effective alternative to remote probe style.

[@RandyZimmerman-pp5wj]

Your info gave me more information than anyone else kudos

[@davidsigler8353]

Will, I really like your videos. I am a full time RVer and have an old acid / Lead battery. Looking to upgrade . Your videos have helped educate this ignorant user. Now trying to decide 100 ah or 200 ah. Thanks again!

[@travelinginnorthamerica6168]

Thank you for your video. It helped me to purchase the batteries that I need. It is helpful that you address issues like temperature, which are very relevant where I live.

[@jimmyp371]

Love these videos man, getting my Vestwoods today

[@angelzubia5058]

I love watching your videos, they are informative and you are one funny guy...your joks are on point. Keep them coming.

[@danieldaniel7724]

Thank you for staying constantly informative!👍

[@johnguilbert1349]

A battery of battery tests! Thanks for the run-down!

[@loucinci3922]

Interesting to see the different build quality. Thanks for sharing.

[@rowanshole]

Wills' new standard for measuring cheap battery quality just has to be which one has the least spelling and grammatical errors lol. Great vid Will!

[@wallaceniebel3369]

Love your videos... clear and unbiased... keep up the great work!

[@L.C.A.car_adventure_channel]

Great video compression, and by the way, the SOK server Rack 100Ah 48v is now even under discount. The downside of all you can't get anything in Europe what was reviewed.

[@allenh7835]

Thanks for the FREE website Will ! The info is awesome.
