How to build a Lithium battery

This battery is a 4S configuration using recycled LiIon battery cells. Nominal voltage is 14.4V and capacity is rated as 18Ah. BMS is rated at 30A discharge and 20A charge current.
This battery cost me $54.- at the time of recording. All parts can be obtained at Batteryhookup.com

Good video and the overall cost wasn’t bad either. This battery looks like you could put in a 30 cal size ammo can. Of course if it is in a metal can, insulation is needed so the connectors don’t short out on the metal ammo can. I am sorry if I missed it. Does the amp hours increase like the voltage?

Excellent educational and instructional video! Thank you for making it!

Battery Hookup has some crazy good prices on alkaline batteries, in bulk. Wonder of the shipping is astronomical? Going to get some DIY iron phosphate cells this year, and probably a bunch of 123's.

Great videos!

Are these good for electric go kart

[@offgridsimplicity]

I would say so. It depends on the amperage you need. Go on Batteryhookup.com and see what they have. Find cells that match your amperage requirements and capacity. Use my discount code.
