Looking decent. I would though probably have made it slightly different to save a bit on soldering time. This by using a thinner cable and snaking it back and forth between the two banks, taking over two cells at a time. And then the wire can also be directly soldered to the cells, so that one doesn't need to solder in extra wires between the cells and the thick wire. Thinner wire in my case would probably still be a bit thick, so that it has lower resistance, so we aren't wasting energy on heating the wire. And also nice to hear that someone knows that batteries are less efficient when pulling large amount of current from them. The same thing also goes for charging too. But I do think this surely wouldn't be a problem in a solar setup though.

If you use it once a week, a 1kW battery is going to save you 52 kW a year. If electricity is very expensive in your country about 15€/year if it's cheap 5€/year. When you add-up the cost of the solar panel and its istalation, wiring, BMS, batteries, DC/AC converter, how long do you thing it's going to take to have a return on investment?

Considering that he has a fair few panels, and he might get 6-8 hours of decent sunlight per day, and maybe an average of around 300-800 watts, then it would charge this battery in around two hours, and he states he has two, so it would fully charge in just a day. So effectively, he wouldn't be using almost any of the power output of his panels. Though, at the same time, he could run his 24/7 servers on the solar system as well, meaning that there will be less excess energy to store in the batteries, so it might get more efficient when taking the full system into account.Then the system would make around 140€ worth of electricity in a year. (according to a "low" figure of 1€ per 10kw/h) And if there still is enough energy to fully charge the batteries in 5 days while running all the 24/7 stuff, and the basement well pump. Then he could always charge his second UPS in his data center to store a bit more energy.

Battery voltage after proper charge that I mean charge to 4.2v rest for about week and measure the voltage under 4v or even 3.8v is bad cell it would pull all the rest of the cells in pack down... Afer a week try to top it to 4.2v again.... And after a week again if is voltage below 4.17 is bad cell you should not use it at all because it would cose nothing but truble..... Try to do some fuses for each cell..... It is nice to doo 18650 "Powerwall" look for HBPOWERWALL or JehuGarcia channel it is some useful ideas...

Wondering how you're going to do checks and replacements of individual cells after everything has been glued and soldered together...

16276 mAh at 48v nominal is about 780 Wh. At full charge is at 58v that's about 940 Wh. With only 14s10p you won't get a whole lot of run time on that UPS. Make it at least 14s40p to make it worthwile. I am building a 14s80p powerwall which will use a UPS in the beginning to charge / run when power gets cut off. Then will add solar later. Very similar to HBPowerwall's stuff and AveRageJoe. Cheers :)

For the Wh you will multiply 62Ah with you voltage (13s = 48V) This will give you 2.9 kWh of stored energy Keep in mind arround 80 percent of the 2.9kWh is useable Which equals 2.3 kWh for you to use

If you have a 10p (parallel) set of cells, for instance 9x 1600 mah and 1x 1400 mah, that row of 10 should only be used as a 14,000 mah. Your battery is only as good as your worst cell in LiPo. Hope I'm miss understanding your video but it looks like your simply adding together all the battery capacities to make equal rows? Again, if you wanted a 16,000 mah cell, you'd use 8x 2000 mah cells, not 4x 2000 mah and 8x 1000 mah, this would be a fire hazard. Because the 8x 1000mah would fall below voltage while the 4x 2000 mahs are still giving power. Again a fused system would solve this because the low capacity cells would burn the fuses as they're trying to draw power from the 4x 2000mah to keep their voltage the same.

Each of the steps has to have the same capacity, be cause the worst "step" will roll :-( so if 13 of the 14 steps is 21,000 mah and the last one is 15,000mah,, the hole thing will be 48v 15,000mah,, instead of maybe 48v 20,500mah if i got it right.

My PlayHouse not stopped thinking about this and working out if this is ok or not... all the vids I've seen say if u want a row as 20ah u need 20x1000mah or 10x2000mah. U mix them up, so once a 1000mah runs out, it's going to pull energy from the 2000mah cells to keep at the consent voltage so maybe this method is ok? I'm doing more research when I have time.... apologies if this is ok.
