I guess you didn't see my teardown 😢 It's a fantastic battery! Cylindrical cells, in my opinion, are way better for the application-a vibrating vehicle. 👍

[@BradCagle]

I missed it :( But I just watch it now :) The batteries you have are a little different shape, and you have BT BMS. But clearly the cells are the same, and they are very neat cells. Fun to see something different. Thanks Buddy!

[@Roll2Videos]

@@BradCagle Man I really enjoy your style of production. Easy to watch. Thank you 😁

[@Electronzap]

Very cool. I'd rather have a 48V 25A battery than a 12V 100Ah, but not many options in Amazon the last time I looked.

[@RoyGJones-bd7jw]

Can you use the battery charger for a series of these batteries?

[@junkerzn7312]

There is clearly demand for these smaller 48V (51.2V LiFePO4) batteries. Prior to this one, the only other small-capacity 48V/51.2V battery that I know about is the Lithova 48V (51.2V LiFePO4) 25Ah battery. The Lithova battery is a group-24 form factor... a really nice motorcycle-style small form-factor (quite a bit smaller than this LiTime battery's form factor). But not a golf-cart battery... the Lithova doesn't allow much surge whereas the LiTime allows 2C operation for a short period of time. The biggest advantage of the LiTime is being able to run 2C bursts of power with a relatively small BMS due to the higher voltage and lower amp-hours. Makes for quite a lot of power in a small system. However, it is a bit over-priced. The Lithova is only $230 @ 25Ah while the LiTime is $427. Massive difference in price for just 5Ah, to the point where I'd just get 2 x Lithova's for 50Ah and parallel them for 50A continuous operation. I'm a bit surprised that they used cylindrical s. I would have expected pouch cells. That's why their battery form-factor is relatively large for the capacity. -Matt

Great insight! I need to check out that Lithova brand. From what I understand cylindrical cells can provide higher discharge rates. Maybe that's the reason behind the choice? Thanks :)

[@junkerzn7312]

@@BradCagle I don't know re: discharge rates, you could be right. Pouch cells are typically paralleled in 12.8V small-form-factor batteries... sometimes 4p. But for 48V there wouldn't be as much room to parallel at 16s.

Hi brad would you be able to do a video on how to set up your shunt I have a similar unit but can't work out how to set the perimeters up.i have to sets of batteries and 2 shunts at work with 2 difference read outs.cheers from Aus,Rene.

[@dennisstgermain442]

I paid over $800 three years ago for my 48v 30 amp golf cart batteries. They seem to be losing voltage like crazy the past few months. Any idea why ????? thanks.
