Wow, didn't expect to see 18650 battery store in this space! Very cool. I order my 18650s from them. Prices with shipping are pretty good but Docan still edges them out. Always good to have options though. EDIT: Forgot that the smaller cells were 105Ah so cost per Ah is actually better on these! Thanks for the video!!

I bought 16 of the 280Ah batteries the day after you published this video. These makeup my third bank of 280 eve cell's. I capacities on just 2 cells, both come out over the 280 but below the spreadsheet numbers. Have had this group of cells in service for about a month. Seems to be working OK but always pulls less current then the other two.

[@randybobandy9828]

What was the price when you ordered?

[@rv10flyer84]

I bought cells from Amy and Hayley. Top balanced all 160 cells. Their QC ducks! Only one battery out of 10 made it past 3.5V/cell without a 280 mV imbalance or runner over 3.65V. Even my Trophy 220aH!! The one with the JK BMS 2A balance does okay. We should not have to install a 5A balancer on new "Grade A" cells. SunFunKits claims true Grade A. I will try 18650 store.

[@AjeethCheppudira]

Thank you. This is really good. I have been trying to get a good supplier for EVE batteries. I have ordered today for their 2 packs of 12V/105AH. The cost is same or better, and the shipping to Canada is less than $100 through FedEX, Compared to $ 180/- through Ali Express and long wait time by sea freight.

[@LithiumSolar]

I don't think there are any trustworthy distributors on Aliexpress. That's just my opinion though...

[@nicholasmarcoux]

How do the buss bars fit when going from two cells placed next to each other on the end of the cell? So the series connection from 8 cells to the next 8 cells when they are in 2 rows of 8. Hopefully that makes sense.

[@ronaksoni2729]

these 280Ah cells are so beautiful. I love them so much unfortunately in my country there are no such suppliers providing such a good price and genuine good products and i do not trust alibaba or aliexpress or any other site cause there are so many listings that i got confused and do not want to loose my money on some bad cells so yeah i hope one day i will order these

[@LithiumSolar]

What country are you from? There are many good sellers on Alibaba. You just have to spend some time reading through reviews - that are posted on forums and other places on the internet, not Alibaba reviews. You just have to weed out the 20 bad sellers to find the 1-2 good ones.

Curious that the 105Ah batteries show 3500 cycles, but the 280Ah batteries claim over 6000 cycles. Usage? Chemistry?

[@Manawyrm]

The LF280 are also only rated for 3500 cycles, but the LF280K (!) are rated for 6000 cycles. EVE's website doesn't say what the difference is, though...

Ordered the 280 ah batteries on Thursday. Received them on Saturday. 4 boxes. (16) cells. From GA. To Michigan. Regular shipping. Very very fast!!! All in excellent condition. All shipped at 3.28 volt except one cell at 3.1 . Very happy so far. Need to top balance and all. Will give update once installed. Thanks for a good supplier.

[@LithiumSolar]

Awesome! Please keep us updated once connected/installed!

[@Truthnlovedailydiary]

Can u give update on your batteries? Do u still recommend

[@alanhollister9122]

Batteries are working good. One cell seams to always be higher at lower charge but when at higher charge is lacking behind. Tried to make better connection but still dose same. Other than that, very happy with them. Getting them in 2 days is a big plus. But I see the price has gone up a bit sense purchased. All and all, still think they are a pretty good deal.

[@YouTubeviolatesmy1stamendment]

Those batteries are pretty nice I might have to order those instead I like that terminal much better than the welded stud thing

When these blue boxes are used in the various batteries you tear down, are these all the same type of cell, prismatic?

[@matthewknight5641]

I just ordered 8 of the 280 cells. They price was 150 each and they charged 60 bucks a box for shipping. I asked about the free shipping you mentioned but they said no free shipping

[@davegeorge7094]

It's a great deal including US shipping about 50...

[@fduran6993]

The small size batteries compared to SOK 48v 16c (1600 $ if I am right) will have a cost of 1000$ plus bms and box. Pretty good deal.

[@LithiumSolar]

16 of the EVE LF105 is $1053 shipped. Add in another $200 for a quality BMS of your choice, maybe $10 in cabling and you're looking at $1263 compared to the $1739. You don't get a the heavy duty steel case though. It's up to each person what their needs are and their level of wanting to DIY something.

[@rowanseelbattery]

Our cells are brand new with original factory QR code intact. Never used. No dents or swollen cells, 5-year warranty, with free bus bars and screws, we test the voltage, capacitance and internal resistance before we ship the goods to you, EVE 280K only requires 109 USD from EEL BATTERY

[@dougydoolittle5255]

Hi, thank you for all the videos you do. I have 32 x Eve 280ah cells on the ship to me. I am wanting a good bms. I have Victron multipus 5000. so fully loaded i am needing close to 200amps discharge. I also have 24solar x 330w panels on my roof, running through 4x victron 150/85 mppts to charge my 12x 2v @ 1250ah gel batteries. I believe the LF280k has a1c charge rate. Is there a bms that can handle 250amp charge? I am considering charging the new lifepo4s from 18 panels and 3 mppt, each supplying around 80amps in good conditions, therefore 240amps. I used Daly 200amp in my bus build, but that is only charging at 40amps though house power supply. I need heavy duty for my off grid shed but can't be sure which bms to choose for high charge solar. What's your thoughts?

[@PRN-Life]

Hey ive got a question to use those 105ah batterys how long were you able to run it ? Im thinking about getting these for my caravan .

[@craftedbyalvint]

I see a lot of these style batteries set side by side in a box, but the space i have available is tall and skinny. Can i stack them verically and run a longer wire instead of a bus bar? Or is there voltage loss through thr wire?

[@justforkiks29]

Do you have any content on using these type of cells in say an RV?

[@michaelburke1023]

Can the 280ah cells be mounted end to end with the buss bars there? Given the side by side threaded holes I’m not sure

[@bill2292]

I priced a build for a 100 amp 48V battery, and with a quality BMS and case and cb, it was about $1,450. The Jackiper is $1,699, the EG4 is $1,499. Your shipping cost may vary, but seems like there is not the big incentive to build a 100ah 48v battery anymore. Building a 280ah 48v saves more.

[@fauxque5057]

Free shipping helps but the price is still too close to already built options in my opinion. I think the last set of 4 chins 105ah batteries cost me $1290. to my door. I have 2 sets of 4 chins, and 2 sets of 4 of the zooms batteries. Always bought 4 at a time and never broke the $1400. mark. With the exception of an over priced Hsky 48v battery I bought from Big Battery. They were the only place that had anything available at the time when I needed it. I would have loved to go the server rack route but they were always out of stock and on backorder.

[@LithiumSolar]

I agree there isn't much incentive when looking at the 100Ah batteries; however, cost changes quite a bit when looking at larger cells such as the 280Ah.

[@raphle880]

Tks for the video. In order to use the maximum cycle of the batterie it is showing on the data sheet to use it from 90 to 10%. of course the remaining capacity will be around 80% ...but do you have any idea which are the setting on BMS to get the maxs cycle? Max voltage charge and minimum voltage when discharge? Tks Raf from France

[@amerkhafagiable]

Why you discharged packs to 0.2C ? is it the default continous discharge specification or because its cold atmospher at your place ? Thanks

[@jasonbrown467]

while i dont know for sure, i assume its the rating the manufacture came up with. unless you know something i dont, which is possible. i have been playing with lipo for years, lead acid for about a year, but have no lifepo experience.

[@LithiumSolar]

I use 0.2C as it's the industry standard for capacity measurements. That said, many of these big LiFePO4 batteries have standard discharge rates of 0.5C or 1C. I still stick to 0.2C so there is a fair comparison across the board in addition to it being a better reflection of how I see them being used in the solar/off-grid space.

[@MrObeast44]

Pardon the newbie question, but would it be possible to build a pack with the cells "flat"? I guess what I am asking is do these cells have any type of orientation restrictions?

[@LithiumSolar]

I've been told before that any orientation is acceptable other than upside-down (vent pointed to the floor). I have no supporting evidence for this though and would suggest double-checking with the distributor or EVE directly though before doing anything.

[@jackiedines5229]

Yes, either standing up or on their side but NOT flat. If flat half the battery is out of the liquid.

[@matthewwiemken7293]

quick question, if i wanted to wire for 12v inverter, how many cells would i use? 3 cells seems too low, and 4 cells seems too high. i think my 12v inverter shuts off at 10.5 volts on the low end and 15volts on the high end. perhaps there is something i am not thinking about? thanks again for the video btw oh, i see the voltage range of lipo is not what i thought it was, 3.2v nominal, 2.5 is 0% soc, and 3.65v is 100%, i assumed 4.2v was the 100% soc resting voltage

[@ericklein5097]

3.65 is fully charged. This is not Lipo this is LifePO4. Lipo go boom if handled by dummies

[@NestoRides514]

Do you have a link for the top balancer?

[@DSmartLife]

It's a very good deal if it's shipping locally for you. However those 105Ah cells that you bought by yourself didn't produce 105Ah, isn't it a concern? I have those cells from a reseller, but it gave 106-107Ah capacity on my initial test. The cells you have may be imbalanced or there is something wrong in the quality. Please check. Thanks.

[@TheGuruStud]

also called margin of error...it was 105Ah...dunno what you're complaining about.

[@DSmartLife]

@@TheGuruStud Yes margin of error should be over the rated capacity for a Grade A cell, not below it. That's why we should always get over the rated capacity for the first few cycles when tested if the cells are really Grade A. It is the industry standard. I am not asking for anything out of the ordinary. Thanks.

[@kingsamoanOG]

Good point for a Grade A it should be over that 105ah

Excellent video, very informative. As for the 280 ah batteries, could you please, explain to me how to connect 8 of these batteries to make 12v 560 ah battery bank? Would I need 2 BMS's? Thanks in advance.

[@kingsamoanOG]

So 4 of these batteries cells would create you a 12v battery pack thats why they sell them in 4s because they are 280ah 3.2v each when connecting all 4 it creates your 280 ah (3.2vx4=12.8v battery pack) so if you bought 8 you would be able to create 2 battery packs so you'd have 2 280ah 12v battery packs and depending how you run them in parallel or series you could have a 24v 280ah battery setup or keep in 12v depending on what type of inverter you are running and id run a bms for each battery pack you create. Hope that helps a little im still learning all this myself Goodluck brotha

The double terminal is interesting. I have never seen that before. On the main pack pos/neg you have the main leads and balance leads on separate terminals. If i wanted to run 2 main lead cables, one on each stud, is there room on the stud for the balance lead and a main power lead?

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

No reply from LS. Has anyone else used these cells that could comment?

[@LithiumSolar]

Yes, there is plenty of room for multiple cables under one bolt. Even if there wasn't, you could just get a longer M6 stud.

How do these compare to Docan in America

[@ayeameen]

I bought 4 cells from Docan and two of those were heavily bulged even when fully discharged. Capacity is also < 280ah for all cells.

[@goinginsane37098]

It appears the links for the charger and bms are no longer valid.

[@LithiumSolar]

The BMS has been discontinued. The chargers will be back again soon. I'm told there was a QC issue with one of the batches and they removed them while it was being sorted out.

@@LithiumSolar yep. I was just letting you know the link was bad in case you wanted to change it

Can these EVE LF280K battery be stacked 8 pieces high?

[@YouTubeviolatesmy1stamendment]

I am putting them in a group 27 lead acid battery box there's room for them plus the BMS is inside those as a 12-volt battery and you could stack those on top of each other

[@mercona4230]

I was under the impression that these were 3.2v 280ah hr batteries each. Shouldn't 4 hooked up become 12.8v 1120ah. But the test still has them at around 280ah

[@LithiumSolar]

When batteries are wired in series, volts increases and amp-hours stays the same. When batteries are wired in parallel, volts stays the same and amp-hours increase.

[@mercona4230]

@LithiumSolar Thanks you for explaining.

Will these do well with car audio???

[@LithiumSolar]

This is not designed for use in car audio applications.

I'm considering a purchase to buy one of the battery genny's out there, most likely, just a mid-level one making 1800watts. I noticed most offer a similar looking unit as a secondary battery but they're pretty pricey. Has anyone built their own using these batteries to piggyback off the store bought battery genny's out there?!?!? Successful???

[@2olvets443]

They went up in price and only a 1 year warranty? You just posted this 4 weeks ago. I have seen some give 10 year warranty for defects or product fail if not abuse or misuse or normal wear, basically about the same time as the number of cycles. Battle Born American company is one of them, though quite pricy. I know you are not the one that has anything to do with that but in a way you are advertising their product.

[@LithiumSolar]

18650 Battery Store is not manufacturing this products. They're a distributor. It doesn't make sense for them to provide the warranty on the product. The 1 year warranty is plenty sufficient in my opinion. Battle Born is a manufacturer for which the cells they use are a component of the product they create. It makes sense for them to warranty their product for longer. Additionally, 18650 Battery Store warned me ahead of time that they were considering a price increase due to the ever-rising cost of everything.

Where can I get the 304 eve

[@LithiumSolar]

SunFunKits has the 304Ah EVE batteries. They're another quality US distributor. You can find them here www.sunfunkits.com/product/37/4-pack-eve-lithium-lf304-304ah-certified-automotive-grade-33v and use my referral code "LS10" for 5% off.

Shipping is not free for the 105 AH batteries too.

[@LithiumSolar]

Yeah I posted a note about this next to the product links. My mistake...

Curious, at 7:47 into the timeline, while testing the 280Ah cells, the display shows 74.2Amps of current. The voltage is at 12.79 so 3.19v per cell, or at least worst performing cell in the group. This is below 3.3v Seems an automotive grade cell under such load conditions wouldn't fall in voltage like this? Look at this test by SDK on a 280Ah Automotive grade cell. Watch the voltage and the current: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXWQkqlqmLl_Y7M

[@LithiumSolar]

Voltage is being measured after the BMS in this video, so there would be some voltage drop across the BMS and negative lead. Additionally, this is not a precisely-calibrated instrument as shown in the video you linked to.

[@Foxfried]

Something is not adding up here... 3509 Watthours / 282.40 = 12.425 Nominal volts or 3.106 v/cell. Nominal voltage for LFP is 3.2 volts. So it should be 3509 / 12.8 = 274.14 AH / cell. It should have tested to 3584 watts / 12.8 = 280 AH / cell. I think you took the out going amps as the capacity instead of calculating capacity based on the watt hour which is to divide total watt hours / nominal voltage.

[@LithiumSolar]

Nope. Read my reply to your other comment.
