On a glass table? Brave man.

[@ForbiddTV]

If you ever have to remove a cell from that pack, I would bet you will have to cut the metal frame you made to get one out since the pack will swell a bit over time. My suggestion would be to build the frame slightly oversize (maybe only 1/2") and place wooden shims in the gaps when the battery is new.

[@TubaParveen-cd2ys]

Really enjoyed, will work for so many jobs.

[@rajware]

Wow! Excellent build - the battery cover, battery holder the bus bars and the cables took ages to make; They took ten times longer to make (at least) than making the actual battery - and this the case at all times! Thank you for the detailed video. I will try and make similar battery in the neat future! 🙂

[@martink9785]

That is a beast of a battery! 👍👍

[@dash8brj]

Nice build! good job. Yes those inverters do have big capacitors inside, pant wetting moment when you connect one up the first time. Best to use a 10 ohm 25W resistor to precharge them. :)

[@aprilsteel9466]

Mate you have made some fundamental mistakes here. Firstly The cells need air flow between .Use paddle pop sticks hot glued to one side . Three of them for those cells . If glued on one side only then you can easily separate a bad cell out without damaging others should the need arise. Put it together then make compression sides for the ends and run threaded rod all the way through 4 corners at least . This saves the center of the cells from overheating and expansion .Double sided tape is not enough. Ensure the bottoms of the cells which are negative cannot short to any ground underneath by using a piece of ply perhaps below the pack. Your frame all round is a threat there .It may well go negative and any positive connector can then short out if you start playing with BMS sense leads. I like you have covered the terminals to prevent accidental shorting.

[@kimtinal9353]

yes sir that is the mistake. thank for your advice

[@jmac4952]

I am trying to decide between a build like you've put together here and one using 32650 cells like I saw on another YT channel called LithiumSolar. Do you have an opinion as to which design is best and why? I think I'm leaning toward a build like yours. Thanks.

[@GamingChannel-pd4kc]

do the 1kwh powerbank can run an window type AC of .750hp?

[@Ovation36]

You can simply use a carbide blade for a chop saw for cutting your aluminum!

[@sNEAKYnIGHTmUPPET]

you should be very careful when using a metal frame for those cells, the outer aluminum shell is BONDED to the POSiTIVE terminal, meaning a MAJOR short circuit can occur. Please keep this in mind. Vibration can wear through that BLLUE vinyl decal covering.

[@lubomirbobak]

is it possible to charge the battery via BMS? isn't the BMS only unidirectional?

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

Right under that extremely thin blue plastic film is the battery cell which is positively charged, if it rubs against any kind of metal because the film becomes torn the battery will short out..So you don't want a metal enclosure touching the blue cells, ever..Might never be a problem, but I would never do that, you need an insulating material between the cells and metal..But to each his own..Very nice fabricating...

Hey Kim, how do you compare this MPP inverter with the Growatt SPF 5000 es? Which is better?

[@kimtinal9353]

The inverter in this video is not MPP. No brand but a lot like MPP. this inverter could compare to SPF 5000TL HVM-P series. its function and specification are almost the same. the seller said this inverter brand MP not MPP. for my experience, this MP is much better then Growatt, Because it's have no problem working with my DIY LiFePO4 battery.

The small negative wire need to connect with the big negative wire. So it is the easy way to mount the bms on the wood frame after every positive are all connected

[@JoseDeveloper]

Hello friend, fantastic video, thanks for this contribution. Your inverter is 48V DC. What would you do for an inverter that uses batteries with a range of 98V to 600V DC? Multiple BMS in series? Thanks.

[@kimtinal9353]

Better check if there have BMS that would support the desire voltage first. Series BMS cost a lot of money.

You need to check the specifications of the charging and cut off voltage of the inverter first. Most Chinese brand inverter can be set. Because of lifepo4 and lead acid voltage is not the same.

What happen with this inverter when bms disconnects the battery? Servicemens were reporting about exploding evrything inside : capacitors, diods, igbt, etc.

[@kimtinal9353]

It doesn't make any sense for this issue. Diode and cap exploding in 2 ways over voltage and reverse polarity. If over voltage, how could it be, the inverter provides voltage to charge the battery, when bms cut off, the bus voltage will be at the maximum voltage it should handle this as well. If reverse polarity it should explode from the beginning.

[@kimtinal9353]

@@andreitatarinov3331 yes sir, this issue is already solved. Some inverter may cause bus voltage too high when the bms cut off. For China inverter its would appear fault code 8. But this error is only on the old firmware version. If you update the inverter firmware it will work perfectly. Only fault code no components broken.

[@kimtinal9353]

electric vehicle battery?

[@yeppyyo3856]

Sir, why is it 16units for 3.2 volts which total 51.2 Volts already and not 48volts, what is the purpose of an extra 1, instead of only 15units?

[@kimtinal9353]

good question!!! the reason i choose 16S instead of 15S is about the minimum and maximum voltage of the inverter. in the inverter datasheet it said the maximum charge voltage can be set up to 58.4V and the minimum cut off voltage is 40V. so if i choose 15S of 3.2V cell, that it discharge voltage is 2.5V and charge voltage is 3.65V, then you could fine the total max and min voltage of the whole battery by Vmin=15x2.5=37.5V it mean that you will never get power from your battery to its minimum state cause the inverter will cut off when the battery voltage reach 40V. if use 16S Vmin=16x2.5=40V so battery cut off and inverter cut off is the same. for 16S Vmax also could reach to 58.4V same as settable voltage of the inverter.

[@mcg6762]

Using a metal frame for prismatic cells is not a good idea unless you have lots of insulation between the batteries and the frame. A short circuit is very dangerous and can cause a fire.

[@kgpcodes]

Hello they said 16S is not ideal. I am doing research about this. I just bought a 16S BMS and 48V inverter. What do you think?

[@kimtinal9353]

If 16s is not ideal, what is the better one? 4s x 4? I think it dosen't make any difference. But some friends of mine said if we use 4s x 4 to make 48v we can control if some cell is weak bms will cut off separately.

[@kgpcodes]

@@kimtinal9353 They said the ideal setup is 14S 52V. I bought a 16S BMS. I don't know cut-off or low voltage settings of the inverter. They said most inverters have a cut-off of 42V and that's why 14S 52V is ideal. 16S probably isn't wrong and I couldn't find 14S 52V BMS. Still looking.

[@kimtinal9353]

Oh that's the point. Before i choose 16s i already check the inverter parameters that it would support or not . In my project, the inverter is MP 5000w China product. It can be set the cut off voltage max at 58.6v and min at 40V. This value is mach for 16s lifepo4. But some brand maybe have problem such as growatt spf 5000tl, it will appear fault code 8, bus voltage too high, if we use 16s bms. It need to update the inverter firmware to solve this issue.

[@asc556]

The ideal 48v system is 14S only with li ion batteries because those are 3.6v or 3.7 volts nominal. He is using lifepo4 with a nominal voltage of 3.2 or 3.3 volts, so the ideal 48v is 16S . Cheers.
